Today's plan!

An unexpected argue at home! I don't know, maybe its my fault. But I think Im in that awkward situation that I need peace, I need support that I deserved... I wish I had

Its around 11 A.M. Haven't started my study yet. I think there is a big load of bars! Let me see:

1. Summary of my meeting with Elena
2. Summary of my meeting with Allyson
3. Writing English 
4. Sending my revised questionnaire to Elena
5. Looking for Curriculum stuff
6. Seeing Kikki
7. Asking for referee form my poor foot

Although, I have started my day very bad, Im not going to continue it that way! I will make it even if he doesn't support me! :)
