Reflect

Today no class and didn’t do too much things. I had a meeting with Victor regarding my term paper, and I really appreciate his concepts. He gave me enough freedom and confidence to do what I want to do. Sometime I care too much what other people think. Today I told to Chathuranga, Luis, Amir that I picked up a apple pencil on square ground last term. Amir asked me that didn’t you post a lost and found? I thought how can I find and make sure who does this pencil belong to? And nobody is in near there at that time. ...

I got up at 7 a.m. and went to the gym to exercise. After that, I quickly took a shower and went to the FEM class.

Coming from a poor family, having the chance to study like this isn’t easy. I should cherish it, work hard, and not waste the opportunity. ...

Today was a fulfilling day! I woke up early and found that my preparation time was much shorter than usual, thanks to having the microwave. I spent the morning finalizing the slides for our group presentation. As is often the case, I didn’t enjoy the group meeting, and I realized I might have a somewhat unhelpful mindset. I’m constantly worried about the professor’s judgment of me. Worse, I find myself adding my own negative personal thoughts to what I imagine the professors think, which then reflects negatively back onto myself. This cycle leads me to underestimate and doubt my own abilities. This process is genuinely damaging to my self-esteem. ...
