In the Life Log - Day 61 in My Musings

Today was quite crazy. I had to wake up early to prep for my certification exam and at the same time, go online for work lest I end past 9 p.m. No weird dreams last night, thankfully.

The certification exam was very difficult to the extent that I’m not sure I’d pass. While I thought I did all what I can from a studying perspective, the format of the exam caught me by surprise. The practice exams/questions were so different from the actual thing, not to mention that there were multiple essays that had to be answered. The moment I reached the case study, I had minimal time left and didn’t even get to finish. In case I fail (hopefully not), I won’t retake since it’s another $100-ish.

Work was ok - I had a couple meetings, one of which overran (30 minutes turned into 1.5 hours) owing to a serious conversation with a colleague. Let’s just say I was not happy with how he appeared to run the show on his own i.e., not asking for help when needed. Everything turned out just fine after said conversation, however.

After my shift, I went immediately to my psychiatrist and he’s elated by my progress. Long story short, I’ll just continue with the anti-depressants for the next couple months since I won’t be able to visit him next month.

I trained legs quite late already since I had my pre-workout meal at almost 9 pm already. Training went really well, although I was really gasping for air especially during squats. Pump was really solid, and I was able to shave about 15 minutes from my usual. Cardio served as my “rest”; just happy to be done with it for the week.

It’s finally the weekend; just looking forward to get more zzzzz’s to recover.

Overall rating for the day: 7/10
