inspiration boards seem to always be portrayed in movies where the characters are desperate to find something meaningful in their lives or have something to prove to others about themselves through the means of this board. i find the idea intriguing and i thought to myself that i ought to have one too. i feel that at this moment of life, i do not have a strong purpose or a fixed pathway to what i want to become after i finish my degree. creating an inspiration board should make me see what i am truly looking for.

“i don’t understand why i don’t feel motivated to do any thesis work!” i was so stressed out about it that i had to call up my friend and asked what i should do. i said to him that i don’t believe in my work anymore and i am working on it halfheartedly. in response, my friend suggested me to reread my thesis proposal. he said that i need somewhat of a reminder why i even started doing this besides the fact that i need to do this to get through my degree. that’s probably the best advice he has ever given me because i did exactly what he told me to do and i am reminded why i chose the topic that i chose and how i wanted my thesis paper to be like.
even so, i’ve yet to start cracking on my official thesis report but i will get to it soon after i’ve sort out these ideas bursting in my head on how to write the paper.
i made the decision to jog since 2 months ago but i only started to jog a few days ago. on day 1, i jogged during the evening but i realized that i didn’t like it so much because there were too many joggers on the track at that hour. so on the following day (day 2), i tried out jogging at 7AM. i prefer this hour of the day to jog because there aren’t any people at all on the track. to top it all off, the morning breeze felt nice on my skin. i wanted to go jog again in the morning today (day 3) but i couldn’t make myself get out of bed. i felt bad not jogging in the morning, so i went out to jog around 11AM. it would usually be hot at this hour but because today is quite cloudy, there wasn’t any sun. i didn’t like it much either at this hour, though. in short, i like 7AM jogs and i plan to maintain this routine as long as i can.
so far i can only do 5 laps around my complex. it sounds like nothing but it’s a lot for me because my stamina isn’t high. i will eventually pick up pace as time goes by.
