Journal #1 - 1/7/2025 - Lalitha
Hello! This is my first journal entry of the cycle. I wasn’t able to make it to class for the past three days, but today was a solid reset.
Today: I woke up around 5 AM to get ready for my running portion and knocked out a mile before getting ready for school.
Since school was async, I used the time to finish all my missing work. I also worked on my requirement during the 25–30 minute breaks between assignments.
I helped my mom with a few things, too, which felt nice.
Hope everyone has a great day and Happy VERY late new year!
Good Luck to everyone for the upcoming Pre-Test!
Thanks,
Lalitha Sree Damarla⁷
