Day 8:
Today was two sausages, hard boiled eggs, two croissants with jam, and instant coffee. I have been using the aircon on and off and I think its irritating my throat.
I was supposed to do some work today but I just laid in bed and did nothing. Used Netflix Play to watch The Big Bang Theory with some of my friends.
Day 9:
I didn’t have the aircon on last night and my throat feels a lot better. No fever. I will just open the window for fresh air from now on.
Breakfast was fried rice, dumplings, congee -it was orange I am not sure what was in it, and instant coffee.
I have done some work today. Not as much as I would like. It’s Wednesday so I still have plenty of time.
I want to post a picture of my view on IG but it has a cemetery in it, and it felt insensitive to do that. I do appreciate my view though. It gives me something to do that is different from looking at a book or computer.
Day 10
Breakfast was a mix between Cantonese and Western. I had 3 chicken nuggets, 2 sausages, 3 cherry tomatoes, 2 egg custard buns (which is a Cantonese dish), and instant coffee.
I lacked motivation to do anything today. I literally looked at my workout clothes and thought “Naaah”. I did participate in our virtual happy hour with some friends, and then just had a chat with some of them afterwords. I was hungry today, I just needed to eat. I was probably just bored.
Day 11
Today was Cantonese. Meat with noodles and vegetables, meatballs, and Congee that had meat and mushrooms. I also had instant coffee.
I worked out, and I have be working a little bit. I have decided that it is my break and I will enjoy the last little bit of it without worrying about grading or doing anything else. Times are tough and I deserve this mental break.
Day 12
Today was supposed to be Western breakfast, but the only thing “Western” about it were the hard boiled eggs and the peaches. There was a rice thing that had meat in it, 2 meatball buns which are also Cantonese, and cherry tomatoes. I added instant coffee to the mix.
Did my workout despite not working out regularly I do believe I am losing weight since going into quarantine. I gained a lot of weight when I was in Europe. I was pretty sedentary and ate a lot. Here I don’t have the ability to snack as much and I am more active in working out. I get out of quarantine on a Tuesday so I am excited to plan my upcoming days of freedom and self isolation.
Day 13
I am so close!!! I love to be by myself and not go out, but I like having the choice not being forced. Soon I will be self-isolating.
Breakfast today was Cantonese: fried noodles, meat filled buns, and Congee. I also added Instant Coffee. I miss good coffee. But I will wait until I get to out flat before I get any. I want to keep the instant just in case I have to quarantine again.
I have been reading today. I finally finished a book I have been trying to read since January. Now I am on to the next book, I am readying it with a friend. It takes place in ancient Norway/Finland. Really far north in Vardø. It will be cool to listen to it. My boyfriends mom used to work there when she was younger.
When I checked my temperature it was the highest it has been since I got here. It was 36.9 C, which is not high but for me it was. I am almost done though. Tomorrow at Midnight I am free!
Day 14!!!!
Breakfast today was 2 sausage, hard boiled eggs, baked beans, 2 raisin rolls, and instant coffee. Someone must have complained because my Western breakfasts have been consistently been getting more and more Cantonese. It is a welcome change.
Busy day at work. Mostly because I was slacking over the break, but it was worth it. I worked hard until lunch and then decided to pack. Now I am mostly ready for tomorrow. Only a few things left to pack. Most of it is toiletries and the rest of my food in the fridge.
While I was packing, I realized when I sent my clothes down to be cleaned I had left my cord and adaptors for my headphones in the pocket of one of my blouses. I use the adaptors for my headphones while I am in the plane so I hope they aren’t ruined. I am lucky to get them back though. I also left my eye mask in my pocket too. Oops.
