I don’t know why some things are so energy-consuming, especially tasks like writing in my journal or studying. My day mostly consisted of attending two classes and working on my Rock Mechanics homework. Aside from that, it was a quiet day with nothing major to report.

After breakfast, they had to catch their bus, so Huanhuan and I washed the dishes. Then we went to my sister’s place to hang out for a while and help carry some things. Ningning always struggles the most with goodbyes, unable to hold back her emotions. Manman, being a little older now, has gotten better at masking and disguising her feelings, trying to be the well-behaved child in Mom’s eyes. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not. ...
