The Opera Populaire

It is nearing mid-term break and the struggle does not get easier.

Felt a little heartened when a PHd classmate asked Dr. A-T if we could revise the class assignment somewhat. 500-800 words a week had proved to be our undoing. I had done the same thing at the beginning of the sem, to no avail. This time, the result was almost the same. Except for a more flexible deadline and word limit. But who can write review of 3-4 articles in 100 words?? I guess our degree cannot compare to a certain American Ivy League uni, but there is a limit to how much the human body can take? Still, I'm grateful that I'm not the only weakling who can't take it.

I have been sleeping badly again. And having other symptoms that may be the rumblings of that imminent thyroid prob. The stress is getting too much to take. Another 3 months to go. Perhaps a stronger dosage of my current medication may be in order.

Some exercise had been good, but failed to ease that much-needed zzzz. Retail therapy boosted that flagging spirits temporarily, but is too expensive to upkeep, esp with renovation of the new house and wedding.

God help me.
