Most Busy Term So Far

2026 Spring term is reaching to an end. And this was the most busy so far. Mainly because it's the last term of the masters program. During this I took 2 (out of 6 total required) courses and complete the capstone project. And for work I supported for 2 new courses.

The beginning of the term was the most intense. To manage the work, I made a new schedule.

I kept the week days busy with work and studies. And weekend with beach tennis and Beach volleyball. I also made sure work/study doesn't spill over to the weekend. This helped me not to lose the focus and have meaningful "reset" at the end of each week.

I was too tired at the end of days, I had to give up on cooking and gym.

On the weekends I spend the whole day at beach. During this time I took part in 2 beach tennis tournaments and 2 beach volleyball tournaments. (Almost won one beach tennis tournament)

I remember feeling exhausted all the time. Mentally during the week and physically on weekends. But this schedule worked for me and I reached end of the term only with slightly overused knees. (It would heal when/if I take 2 weeks break from the beach - according to my physiotherapist).

Looking forward to the summer break ..
