I have been keeping up my three pillars of health so far; been eating healthier, and much more in general, been sleeping a tad earlier and doing a tad more exercise. And the best thing of it all is that I’m feeling much better. I’m more coherent, I feel more energised and in general I feel much better. So definitely reaping the benefits already.

Today was also lab meeting day where I had to present, and although I didn’t really feel like presenting I felt the talk went well, especially for how much preparation I had. Tonight was also “State of Origin” night so I went over to a friend’s place to watch the game. I don’t have a great understanding of the game, but it was still good to be more social. For the records, Queensland won tonight due to pretty sloppy play by NSW. I also passed by Borders and purchased Learning Perl The Fifth Edition, which I plan to read from start to finish.

I plan to start from the beginning and move forward to the more advanced Perl programming books. I have decided to be known as a Perl programmer due to the usefulness of the language. Again this is another dedication that I need to keep and although I won’t push myself too hard so that I burn out, but I will definitely try to keep up with my regular Perl reading. My current knowledge of Perl is just too scattered, and I hope I can start building the foundation towards a strong understanding of the language.
