The new term

|
The first day of work landed me in an 'alhamdulillah' situation. I was expecting more than that. But I admit, there were a few changes, from some admin changes due to the pandemic to the new faces at work. There were also some addition to the department I'm in.

I failed in my attempt of creating a scheduled daily timetable for the whole week as a career woman. It was supposed to be a timetable of my daily routine as a BF-ding mum especially the time at work. I'm glad that with the current session I'm in, I am able to use the time to pump my milk. I even find a good place to pump it as long as no other people need the place. Given the fridge for my milk storage in the pantry, I felt a sense of syukur. Unlike some other mummy friends who need to buy a mini-fridge to store theirs. But like my aunt told me, and agreeing with her that my workplace should have a BFing room for mums who are high on their pumping routine. I mean, the hotbed I'm at is a female domination.

There were some glitches and challenges at the moment while trying to cover my four deferred papers. What I can say is that the challenge has started ever since I enquired about the status of my exams until present time. Alhamdulillah with His Grace, I covered one last Sunday and the other last night. I admit that having to take these papers when my leave has ended brings me back to square one. Whatever it is, I think Allah has His reasons of letting me be in this situation although efforts had been done to take it during my leave. I do not know when my next 2 papers are. Ahead this weekend will the submission of my group assignment which is still in the process of adding information. Not to be missed is the mid-term test of my short sem on Studies of Religion.

I am looking forward to the nuptial knot of my dear Huda this weekend, on which I am sure of is something that she has been waiting for all this time...
