the short wanderer

"I am just... not feeling good about today" "Today is just an odd day..." "...I think it's just generally this week" Kindly ignore this post if you're looking for something insightful to read. This exists just because I will probably die out of writing starvation if I do not keep myself engaging with my mental therapy session Well, I am not planning to rant about the things that didn't work out on that particular week  like not finishing my reading for tutorial, having less sleep, having to not remember to bring my laptop for a practical, having to missed a weekly review session with our second year tutor and so on,  but for sure my buoyant force for that whole week was getting smaller as each day passed that it was really hard to stay afloat.

Czech Republic or 'Česká republika' in Czech language, is located between Germany and Hungary in Central Europe (at least that's the way I explained it to my family, hihi) Why don't I say between Germany and Slovakia ? Well, read more below to find out ;) Česko or CR was a part of Czechoslovakia, or '
