Remember those days of childhood when you'll fall sick, and feel the urge to finish all the homework in bed, right at that moment? I guess pretty much everyone felt the same way, cause what else will you do lying in bed? At least I did! Well, "luckily" when you're in grad school, you don't have much choice but actually DO all the homework. And if it's finals time, and there's nobody around to take care of you then you got it all!
That's where I've been this whole week, sick with cold, fever, headache, body ache and every possible thing, and dumped under huge load of work. And that's the worst part of being adult, staying alone at home, and not having family around. That's the time I mostly feel sad about studying abroad, because you can't even tell your mom that you're sick unless she'll be too worried :(
Anyway, while my body couldn't get itself out of bed, my usual hyperactive brain didn't quite like that. So, when I was stuck at home with sickness for past couple of days, I actually got some work done (well, there was no other choice :-/). But restless brain still wasn't happy and won't go to sleep, and kept wandering in the memory lane for every possible (terrible) thing that happened in the past, and overthink about future stuff that hasn't happened yet! And the only way I can treat my hyperactivity and stress is through painting. So, I decided to tame that brain with some fun time with brush and colors :) Other than the fact that, I'm actually supposed to work on my research project right now, I'm pretty happy about this painting!

That's actually what I want to do and where I want to be right now. Go to some quiet, naturally beautiful place, probably top of a mountain; take a deep breath and believe everything will be alright. So, I named it "Serenity" :)
