I know if following my current speed, i will never be able to finish my journal and upload them on the website.
For these two weeks, the main activity i have been doing is sleeping because i got very sick. The reason is simple--I have not gotten enough rest.
Actually I should have become sick much earlier given my circumstances. Since the two weeks of intense revision and finishing the exams, i went to Malaysia and Brunei for 4 days immediately after my last exam. Then after I came back from JB, it was packing and moving. Only two days after my moving, yu and me was on the plane flying to US. It has been a very tiring 24 hours in the air before we finally landed in our temporary house.
Then, it was working for 8 to 10 hours everday for a month. The work is tiring because it is mainly physical. We have to stand all the time except the one hour lunch break. Since I wanted to visit QinQin during a weekend, yu and me both have to work non-stop for about 7 days in order to take the leave. We returned home in the morning after an almost sleepless night on Greyhound, then started working in the afternoon immediately. Then work got especially busy during the Menmorial Day weekend which I did my first two-shift continuous day for almost 16 hours.
And then, I fall sick. Violently coughing and feeling very weak. Too weak to even write my blogs. Just want to rest and sleep and doing nothing. After all, this is suppose to be my holiday.
So the lesson I learnt is never over-estimate myself. Had I not being greedy for the overtime pay on the 16 hour day, I will probably get some badly needed rest and could continue to work now. My financial loss for not being able to work for 2 weeks will farexceed that day's ovrtime pay.
