Today I woke up to my alarm — that’s a good start. However, Chathuranga messaged me saying he wanted to take the day off for a sports competition. I didn’t really want to go the gym either since I stayed up late last night. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. Around 8 a.m., I decided to just get up. Recently, the trains have been consistently late — and today was even worse, about 30 minutes delayed. That really annoyed me. ...
I had two classes and received the results of the Rock Mechanics midterm. I got 100. #Amir got 95 and told me about his score, but I didn’t really respond. I don’t care much about these results — as long as I pass, that’s enough for me. I’ve been working on the proposal for the FEM term paper. Sometimes I wonder whether constantly tinkering with these tools is a good thing. But I think I genuinely enjoy it. If I have the time, I’m willing to keep doing it. ...
I also went to the gym with #Chathuranga this morning. It’s already our second week, and I hope we can keep it up. I feel refreshed after working out, and it really helps me maintain a regular daily routine. Tinkering with tools is incredibly time-consuming. This morning, I spent about an hour and a half adjusting my #LazyVim configuration. During today’s group meeting, I felt more confident. I was able to talk fluently about some of my recent experiences. Next week, Amir and I should schedule a meeting with Victor. ...
I’ve realized that I shouldn’t share too many personal details during group meetings. Sometimes professors might misunderstand you or even form negative impressions. From now on, I plan to stick strictly to reporting the facts. I finally finished an assignment for my Finite Element Method (FEM) course. However, I fell into the trap of tinkering with my editor and software again until 5 PM. It’s a habit I really need to break, as it consumes too much of my productive time. ...
