Fortunately, our exams and projects will be done after Christmas. Yes, it's after Christmas because we still have to pass our final projects for the first semester before it finally ends along with this year. Our much desired Semester break will be granted for us after the enrollment for the second semester in the first week of the new year.
Yet, before any of that, for this contest 113 of and answering the question of
, let me share my simple plans on the day of January 1st.
Spending Time With The Family

This is the only time that I can have a free time to spend with them actually. I'm studying in another city by myself, renting a boarding house and supporting myself. At first, it's hard to live alone but now I'm used to it. Even so, I still miss them so much.
I don't know exactly when will be my next vacant time again and I can go home to my hometown like this. So, while there's still time, I'm going to make use of it and savor every moment with them. After that, I'll be drowning in trainings, school works, projects, studies, exams, and side hustles again as my everyday life. Having a time to go home even for once a month or just talk to them through video calling is already a luxury.
Checking the Farm

I have one area of a rice field which I paid for to get back under our family name. I should be the one managing it and making profit out of its crops every 120 days, but I know I can't manage it well due to my studies. I let go of it before I enrolled and hands it to my mother to help them with their income since I can't help them already for I don't have a stable income anymore.
I just want to see how things currently going on there after I let go of it even though I never get to get back my capital from it. Hearing from them that it helps them a lot, makes me happier in a way. I just want to make sure that it is well taken care of.
I can do this for just an hour in a day. Going out early in the morning with the cold breeze and a cup of coffee in my hand, then going around the area while pulling some weeds is the best exercise you could in the morning at the countryside. It's even made as a ritual by the farmers in the place.
Catching Up With The Babies~

I can't say that my daughter is still a baby since she is already 3 years old, even going 4 years old this January but we still treat her as one since she is a kid. Aside from her, there's another princess which we have welcomed in the family a few months ago. I forgot the exact date of her birthday, though. I also want to play with that cute little one while she still has that cute little laugh.
These are the things that I wanna do on the first day of the year. Hello, ladies ,
, and Ate
. Maybe, you can share us a glimpse of your plans during the night of December 31st or the day of January 1st. On your choice, I'm eager to know yours~
