This morning I slept in until almost 9 AM. I could have gotten up at 5 and finished a few more hours of assignments, but my body needed rest more than productivity.
I’ve been sick off and on for weeks now. I think my body knows I’m on the home stretch with just one more month until final exams and assignments wrap up on December 7.
This marks the end of semester two, which means I’m officially halfway through my Master of Engineering Technical Management (METM) program at Texas A&M. That feels huge and a little hard to believe.
Right now, it’s a mix of pride, exhaustion, and quiet determination. So I’m pacing myself. One day at a time. Doing what I can. Resting when I need to.
And when it’s done, I’ll have almost the entire month of December off. Back when I ran my photography business, I used to take that month off every year. It was amazing, and I can’t wait to bring a little of that peace back again.
