Diary

I don’t know when the sky brightened; I got up without opening my eyes. After a quick wash, I hailed a cab and went straight to Zhongqing Company. I got the necessary stamps, treated Brother Deng from the company to lunch at noon, and had a couple of drinks. The alcohol content was quite high, and by the time I finished eating and drinking, I was already feeling dizzy. In the afternoon, I came back and slept until four o’clock, then got up to find a print shop to print some documents. In the evening, I had dinner with Da Huang, Fangfang, and Lao Sao. They were too eager to pay the bill. ...

Whenever things become slightly unknown or complicated, I start to feel lazy and unmotivated. However, I still managed to print out the necessary documents. In the afternoon, after consulting with Manager Liu and Fangfang, we decided to head to Kunming overnight. It was already eleven o’clock when I arrived at Fangfang and Dahuang’s place, and Dahuang had even fried some potatoes waiting for me.

Saturday was the 2025 Guizhou Provincial Exam. On Friday night, I rushed to Guiyang overnight, and after work, Xiao Huanhuan also came from Panzhou to accompany me for the exam. It was both an exam and a date. The exam lasted the entire day on Saturday, and the timing was extremely tight. As soon as I arrived at the test center, I felt the urgent need to use the restroom. However, each floor had only one restroom, and although the building appeared to have four floors, it was actually a quadrangle-style structure with four single floors combined. By the time it was my turn, there were only fifteen minutes left before the exam started. While waiting for someone else to finish, my mind was racing with thoughts—should I just relieve myself on the bathroom floor? I was really struggling to hold it in, and the exam was about to begin. In the end, I managed to uphold human civilization… ...

In order to find a company to affiliate with, I can qualify for the CSC application. Paying to work is something that could only happen to me, and 1400 a month is quite a lot. It’s a bit outrageous, but there’s no other way. Coincidentally, Mr. Liu asked me for money, so I also mentioned to him about getting his seal, and it’s only natural that I’ll be heading to Kunming next week. ...

20:08 The English Incident How ironic! Today, while browsing Bilibili, I discovered that He Kaiwen and Tian Jing, once familiar English tutors, are now involved in deceptive practices. Learning should primarily rely on serious textual materials, and only when things get too abstract should one turn to corresponding video explanations. This way, one can avoid being misled and make gradual progress. 22:38 Completed the 2023 Administrative Aptitude Test Scored 73.63, my highest so far, but still went over the time limit by more than ten minutes. Facing numerous difficulties, feeling a bit overwhelmed. ...

I got up and boiled two ears of corn for breakfast. They weren’t very sweet, probably the price to pay for being cheap. In the morning, I did a set of essay questions for the civil service exam and only scored 57. The questions were quite challenging. After checking the answers, I felt anxious, worrying about this and that. With a troubled heart, I took a nap. After waking up, I did a 10-minute meditation, which made me feel much better. It was quite effective. By the time I got up to review the morning’s answers, it was already past 3 PM. Feeling a bit stifled in the rental room, I packed my backpack with two sets of essay papers and headed to the library. I almost finished both sets, though I haven’t checked the answers for the second one yet. ...

11:34 The Printer Has Arrived Getting ready to go downstairs and pick it up. 16:43 Finished a Rough Set of Essay Questions Some of the questions were still quite challenging. If I don’t practice beforehand, I’ll definitely be at a loss during the exam. The printer is set up now, but it feels a bit cheap. Maybe it’s because of the price point. The photo prints aren’t very clear, and the color accuracy isn’t great either. Oh well, I can use it to print various types of paper, calendars, and such in the future, which is still quite nice. ...
