Another day wasted today, always looking for something to numb myself. After sending Huanhuan off at noon and returning to the rental room, I ended up playing games with Feige all afternoon, couldn’t win no matter what, but it didn’t really matter anyway.
This morning, I received a call about the express delivery of my ID card. I thought it hadn’t started shipping yet, but unexpectedly, it had already arrived. I quickly washed my face in a hurry and went to pick it up. Now, a new issue has come up: when applying for a credit card, the system still requires identity verification, and the CSC system still has my old ID number. ...
02:07 Insomnia Again Lately, I’ve been struggling with insomnia—thinking about my visa, about Xiaohuanhuan, about family, about friends. I just can’t seem to control my mind. 02:35 Got Up to Cook Instant Noodles Couldn’t sleep at all, so I thought about taking a melatonin pill. But I could clearly feel my stomach growling, and after watching Wu Banbao’s video, I decided to get up and cook a pack of instant noodles. Eating a bit more might help me sleep better anyway. Took the pill afterward and got ready to sleep. ...
I didn’t plan well today. I was supposed to go to Chongqing today and get my fingerprints recorded tomorrow. But I kept procrastinating until the afternoon, and then it was too late. I’ll go on Monday to get it done, and I might as well get the medical checkup done at the same time. In the afternoon, I played games with Brother Fei all day and lost every match. We were both confused yet somehow content. ...
09:40 Started Preparing Visa Application Materials Finished the Client Information in the morning and filled out all the required forms in the afternoon. Also, I found a translation company on Taobao to translate my ID card and no-criminal record certificate for 50 yuan. 17:37 Materials Almost Ready My eyes feel a bit strained from staring at the computer for too long. Planning to cook dinner—golden beans and potatoes tonight—and also give Fei Ge a call. ...
Last night, I found the official CSC organization at the University of Alberta, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. This morning, I connected with two friends on Xiaohongshu (Little Red Book). One is a senior already studying at the University of Alberta, and the other is a fellow student preparing to enroll this year, just like me. I clarified my thoughts about the visa process and spent the morning gathering more information on Xiaohongshu. I also took photos for my visa application and was quite satisfied with how they turned out. After that, I started looking into the various forms I need to fill out, and before I knew it, the morning was gone. ...
This morning, I sent Huanhuan off to work. While hailing a taxi, I noticed the driver stopping by the roadside to buy a scallion pancake, so I got one too. After reluctantly saying goodbye to Huanhuan, I hurried back to Shuicheng. Still feeling quite hungry upon returning, I quickly cooked some rice and stir-fried two dishes to eat. It seems the mouse that had sneaked into the room earlier is no longer around. ...
