    Sleep time:
    2:30 AM
    Wake-up time: 12:00 PM
    Nap: None

    Honestly, very busy day. It went like this
    Woke up - Took bro to the hosp right away - came back an hr later and had breaky - project work - shower break - project work - tutoring - project work - family and guests - another commitment - dad needed help - finally finally finally had proper time to study and it was already 12 AM

    Alhamdulillah so happy to be of service but also worried. Coming days do not look any less busy so not sure how I will manage.

    Inshallah, we got this.

    Morning, everyone.

    I woke up late. Very late. I have felt very lazy in the past 2 hours and haven't done anything productive at all. I felt so lazy and groggy. I laid in bed and turned to screens... read through some old conversations on here which wasn't the smartest move. What's the point of living in the past?!

    Anyway, hoping I can use the next 2 hours wisely and complete at least 3 modules.

    Starting in 10 min max.

    :emoji_white_check_mark:1/7 A loooong module done

    Honestly, it was another boring one. I didn't even bother taking notes and have left this module and the previous one for a thorough review in the end before its exam.

    I need coffee. Still feel so sleepy, yawning so much

    No more uni study. Need to focus on tomorrow's exams and two project tasks inshallah!
    I am positive that I will be able to complete this 3rd course tomorrow.
    But the goal was to do 6 modules per day and idk, don't know how I will compensate for yesterday and today.

    Worried about my bf as her nephew is suddenly very sick. His situation's quite critical. Aiming to sleep in 2 hours. Haven't started exam prep yet. Been busy with family.

    Unexpected twists and turns. Such is life.

    Bismillah

    Morning beautiful human beings, amazing warriors and strong fighters! Hope you are all are well.

    I know, I never start my entries like this. Most of the time, when I post on nofap, be it on my journal or this thread, I always think I am just talking out loud.

    But there are people who stop by to read these posts. Either they just click out of curiosity or are regular visitors. Either way, it's rude to not even say hi! I should be more considerate

    Anywayyyy. I managed to wake up on time. It was hard to fall asleep last night since I was worried about bf. The situation's a tad bit better but still critical.

    My test went... okay. I made this one mistake. I don't think I made any other mistakes but let's see. Today was a really good reminder of how seriously I need to take course T.

    For today, I need to:
    Project task 1
    Project task 2 (both these tasks I had delayed doing earlier but not anymore. I shouldn't wait for someone else to remind to do it or do it at a time when I absolutely have no choice)
    Uni study. Lots of it. Ideally, finish the third subject.

    FINALLY sat down to study, Allahu Akbar!

    Here's what happened. I was feeling really tired after my last post. And sleepy. But also physically tired and cramps etc. I feel like the fatigue from past days is kicking in now. So, I fell asleep on the sofa for a good two hours. Then I had to take my bro to the hosp which took another 2-2.5 hours. Then it was dinner time and then it was ice cream time so we went out for that. Okay, I know, the last one was totally unnecessary but come onnnnnn, how can I say no to ice cream?!

    Anyway. We study now. Inshallah.

    Get two modules done and you get to eat an unhealthy snack, k Zee?
    K!

    Umm... the short break turned into an hour long break with me reading some older messages and getting stuck in a cycle of guilt and regret which is really silly because it's been 5-6 months now so there's no point in even thinking that way but it's just

    Anyway...

    I feel very sleepy now. I blame the food. It wasn't even unhealthy. I really need to do 3 modules because I have yet another busy day ahead of me but I also need to sleep because I have to go somewhere early morning, oh the dilemma!

    Argh. Did something. Thought it was okay. Then thought it was silly and maybe, just not right? Felt super anxious and quickly undid the silly thing. Now regretting the undoing of the silly thing and thinking it wasn't even silly as I put it, or was it?

    Cos... what I did was so normal when I know things are not normal. And that is the 'new normal'.

    Sigh. Never mind.

    Just focus on your studies, Zee.

    Morning, ya all.

    Yesterday, I found out that one of my friends/a young Muslim brother on here, lost his mother. She had been ill for a while and he was worried about losing her. God’s will. I just hope he makes it through this tough phase with patience and strength. May Allah make things easy for him.

    I achieved a milestone yesterday. Completed my third subject’s modules! 2 whole subjects to go. That’s 30 modules to do in two-three days max. Anyway, still grateful.

    I have a lot of studying to do!
    Target: 5 modules Only after that can I take a break.
