cold day in hk
i woke up to alarm at 1pm, reset the alarm until 2pm since i was tired. then ended up sleeping in until 2:30pm, much better than the past couple days. woke up and read wsja for a long time, it feels good to read and catch up on what’s going on in the world first thing in the morning, although my mornings are not exactly ‘mornings’ haha. if i want a job in equity research i’m going to have to be at the office before 7 everyday to catch up on the news and markets so i better start getting acclimated to waking up early..
i’m finishing all my applications today no matter what. i realized why deadlines are so crucial to getting things done. when they come up, we automatically set a goal to finish whatever project or task we’re doing before the deadline. when the deadline is far away, or in most cases over 2 days or more days away, we put the idea in our head that we still have time. our goal is still to finish before the deadline, but not specifying how long before. so we end up not being productive until the very last day. if i set short term goals like finish this or that by the end of today things will become much more efficient, imo. so yeah my goal today, finish all my apps. and also, do laundry.
dp is lying sick in bed. he’s been sick all day. partying and drinking 8 nights straight? every single night/day in bangkok. and he was sick before going also, he only brought it upon himself. i was sick after him but i’m pretty much okay now. never seen him so vulnerable. had to fill up water multiple times for him, lend him a blanket, buy him food from bayview. hope he learns his lesson. now off to finish work.
