Weekly Diary : Week 18
06 October 2025 (Monday) : Sleepy Me
As planned, I went for my internship today. This time, I remembered to take my afternoon medicine before leaving. But as soon as I got into the train, drowsiness hit me like a lullaby on repeat. My eyes begged to close, but somehow, I managed to survive the journey without embarrassing myself by dozing off on someone’s shoulder.
While returning home, Gaajar got to know from Mummy that I was on my third day of periods. His reaction? Shocked, concerned, and slightly scolding. “Why didn’t you tell me? You should’ve stayed home and rested,” he said. Then everyone joined the same chorus — rest, rest, and more rest.
I nodded, but a small part of me wondered — is that how they see me? As someone too fragile to handle things just because I’m on my period? I did feel weak, a little tired. For a second, I thought, fine, maybe I should take a break for a day or two.
But then another thought whispered — tomorrow’s the fourth day. The flow will be lighter. The worst is over. So why stop now?
Still, Gaajar’s strict tone almost sounded like an order — “Take a day off. Rest.” And for once, I decided not to argue.
So yes, tomorrow, I’ll rest. But not because I’m weak.
07 October 2025 (Tuesday) : Doing Absolutely Nothing
I spent the day lying down, watching random YouTube videos that led me down the strangest rabbit holes, and scrolling through memes.
At first, I felt a little guilty — like I should be doing something “useful.” But then again, what’s more useful than giving your mind a break? Sometimes, doing nothing is exactly what you need to reset.
08 October 2025 (Wednesday) : A Quiet Day at Home Between Notes & Memes
No internship, no alarms, just me lying down, scrolling through YouTube videos, and diving into random memes on Shorts. Honestly, it was a weird mix of relaxation and guilt, but at least I managed to prepare notes for a few topics in Medical Microbiology.
In the evening, papa reminded me about the doctor’s appointment tomorrow. I nodded, but deep down, I was nervous. What will the doctor say? Will everything be okay or not? To top it off, today was the last day of my periods. I felt both happy and sad at the same time—happy because this month was finally over, but sad because tomorrow meant another visit to the hospital.
Later at night, I decided to reach out on a Discord server of a YouTuber I follow. It’s a space for discussions, and ideas. I haven’t been active since joining, but tonight I sent a message on the STORY WRITERS CHAT. I hoped someone would reply, but looking at the time, I realized it was probably too late—maybe no one would.
09 October 2025 (Thursday) : A Day of Doctors, Medicine & Discord
I didn’t go for an internship again. I simply informed them that I had a doctor’s appointment and wouldn’t be able to make it. Easy excuse, done. And then… It was hospital time. In short, my day revolved around checking on my health, continuing my medicines, and hoping that one day soon, I’ll feel a little less fragile. Honestly, sometimes the pain makes me feel physically weak, like my body is reminding me that it’s still in charge.
Meanwhile, I was glued to Discord, hoping someone would reply to my message. Hours passed, and I started losing hope—thinking no one would ever answer. Just as I was about to give up for the night, a notification popped up. Someone replied! A guy agreed to help me. Yahoo! We even talked in DMs.
So, thank you, Mister Stranger. You’re awesome.
10 October 2025 (Friday) : Day of Work and Notes
I spent most of my day at the internship. It was the usual—watching, learning, asking questions when I could, and trying not to look completely clueless. Honestly, some parts went over my head, but I tried my best to absorb what I could.
In between, I managed to squeeze in some time for my own work too. I completed a few topics of Medical Microbiology, which felt like a mini victory.
11 October 2025 (Saturday) : A Quiet Day with Microbiology Notes
Today, there was no internship. I decided to make the most of it and completed the last few topics of Medical Microbiology from my to-do list. I finished my notes, double-checked a few things, and felt that quiet of accomplishment.
12 October 2025 (Sunday) : A Day Lost in Thought
I didn’t write down what I did on this day. My to-do list? Well… let’s just say it stayed untouched.
So, another week has come to an end. Just like that—gone in the blink of an eye.
This week was a quiet mix of productivity and rest. I spent my days making notes for exams, a few internship tasks, hospital visits and mostly just staying home due to my periods. Between all that, there were some discussions too—talking to a guy on Discord, someone I’ll just call him Mister Stranger for now.
I wonder what the next week will bring.
