Today’s plan was finalized last night before I wen to bed. So, I basically had all figured out how my day would be like. Although I could not really get up at the time I planned, I shrugged my shoulders and moved on to the next thing on my list trying to keep up with the rest of the day as possible.
Like every day, there were things coming up causing changes of plan throughout the day but because I had prioritized things needed to be done before hand, they were pretty much in control.
Let us now recheck today’s to-do list.
Complete tasks
Read Hennessy et al. (2016) — Checked

Overall, it was an OK day with some work done. What worried me the most was the article by Hennessy et al. (2016) because it was a rather new, difficult, abstract bound with theoretical framework that was complicated to understand at first. After a while, I was able to grasp it bit by bit. That said, I still think it needs a second or third thorough read before I could talk about it.
There were many questions and ideas coming while I was reading the article. This brought me an idea that there should be a place that all ideas should be gathered and accumulated. It would be fascinating to see my ideas growing and developing throughout this PhD journey.
Having finished the article, I was starving and ready for dinner. Bhak and I went to try a chain Italian restaurant called, Bella Italia. For me, it was a decent meal. In fact, I enjoyed my pizza as it was flavorful and tasty despite its different appearance from the leaflet.
I came home tired and decided not to read as planned. I should really go to bed now.
It was not a bad day at all.
