Diary

15:06 A little difficult Writing in English is still a little difficult for me, and it is related to my speaking capacity. My brain is still a Chinese brain. Before speaking, it needs to be translated into Chinese first. Therefore, what I should to do is insisting practice my writing and speaking skill by writing diaries and speaking everything. Writing diary In the morning, Tellus’s staff followed the appointment and called me to install the WiFi router. I came out of the apartment to pick him up. ...

This diary was written on Sep 12, 2025, because I felt so tired yesterday. There were two classes yesterday. The first one is Principles of Mining Engineering, and the second class is Concrete Materials in Practice. The first should be easy for me, but it became difficult in the English environment, so I need to put in extra effort to learn it after the class. About the second class, there are too many chemical terms and concrete terms. That’s why I feel it’s difficult; even my classmate who is from Shiri Laka also felt it was a little difficult. ...

09:47 Learned a new git command: stash This command is very useful when syncing files between different devices. 15:08 Prepare to go home In the morning, I went out to practice my English speaking on the lawn. Learning a language by speaking is a useful method. I think I should insist on this way. At noon, I submitted the Mine 610 assignment to Canvas and sent the concrete assignment to the teacher’s email. I felt a little bit nervous, because I want to get an excellent score, and this is my first assignment in English. ...

12:05 Waiting for class I am afraid of I don’t have enough time to eat, so I ate my lunch early. In the morning, I pre-learned the content of today’s lecture, and I might feel better while in class. 15:02 Feel a little tired Communication via Email is a very efficient way. Today I received a lot of Email about my roll-in, funding. I only see the school’s staff in person once, due to re-image my computer, otherwise we just sit in front of the computer, and then all things will be done. ...

I got up early in the morning, prepared some breakfast, and went out to take the train. Since I received a $120 bill from Fido the day before yesterday, I was still feeling a bit upset about it. So today I think I should go ask Bell, because the people at Bell had promised me that no money would be charged. The Bell staff spent an hour helping me, but still couldn’t get in touch with anyone from Fido-totally ridiculous. In the end, I asked the person who helped me open the account, and even the manager of Bell, who was already at work. The consistent answer I got was that no money would be deducted, which put my mind at ease. ...

Got up lazily in the morning, already forgot what I did. Near noon, I cooked some pasta, added my twice-cooked pork ,and brought it to school to study for a while. Reviewed the class PPT again, tried to guess the teacher’s intentions for the assignment questions, and wrote a rough outline. In the afternoon, I came back and made beef fried rice. It was really delicious. Then I took a shower and washed my dirty socks and clothes. ...

Go Shopping with ZJ We ate too much bread and hamburgers last week, so we decided to go to Walmart to buy some food and household items. ZJ emptied his travel box to carry the goods. He wanted to walk to the mall, but I was a bit reluctant. In the end, I agreed with his idea. We bought a lot of items, including vegetables, a pot, bowls, and so on. ...
