Anxieties

It's been more than a week since my last post. I realised only this morning that I have overlooked my online journal for a while. Partly because I was busy, and partly because I felt there's nothing new to write about. Then I suddenly felt the urge to go back writing my thoughts in the hope that I could be freed somehow from some anxieties that are bugging me.

In two months I am coming back home to spend the holiday season. But before that, there's so much things to do. I need to prepare at least two papers for two separate conferences but to do that, I have to come up first with concept ideas. This may sound easy but in reality it is not. Then, I have to start drafting the methodology section of my thesis proposal. Since I am turning six months here in November, I also have to submit that proposal to give my supervisors ample time for review. So that's the work aspect of my anxiety.

The other aspect is in the emotions department. Too personal to write here but my closest friends know about it. And I am so glad they are around to give me pieces of advice and keep me sane. In this crazy world, it really helps to have true, meaning friends. We are separated by distance but I never felt closer to them until now.
