09:24 Start determine the topic This is a last week for term paper. Everything is difficult at the beginning. Trying to use Perplexity #AI to help me select the topic, but it couldn’t give me a proper, innovative, realistic topic. I think the best way to find a meaningful topic is to do some things. The idea for solving the real problem will come up casually. 10:09 Candy I found three ‘j’ shape candies on my desk when came to my seat. I guessed these were from #Luis, I messaged him for thanks. After I got some water back, Luis came to my seat talk with me, and invited me to attend a GSA election event; he even promised me, “No talking there”. ...

🕒 Morning | Time Flies Time is moving so fast. So far today, I’ve had a video call with Huan, spent some time lying in bed scrolling on my phone, and played Honor of Kings for an hour. 🕒 Afternoon | Tech Troubles I spent the entire afternoon trying to get my ** #terminal to support image rendering**, but I failed. Around 4 PM, I decided to do some laundry. Meanwhile, a DVD drive I ordered from Amazon a few days ago arrived. However, it’s unstable and keeps disconnecting, so I’ve already applied for a return. ...

🕒 13:58 | Exhausted Last night, I scolded Huan again. She mistakenly thought a 12-year-old girl was a single mother; I felt her perception of reality was way off. I made her stay up late again, and now I feel a bit guilty about it. 📝 Obsidian & Neovim I ran into an error with my Obsidian template in Neovim. It took a long time to troubleshoot and fix. 🍕 The Buffet Experience Jian messaged me this afternoon saying he was coming to Southgate Mall to hang out. We decided to grab a box of buns and then head to a buffet. ...

🕒 10:04 | Social Overload There are several new faces in the office today. When I went to get some water, a fellow compatriot—the one who helped us find chairs at lunch the other day—started talking to me and asked to add me on WeChat. I felt a bit uncomfortable; I’m not really interested in joining or forming these kinds of social groups. There is also a new Chinese girl in the office sitting right behind me. I haven’t spoken to her yet. There are just too many people this term for my liking. ...

I hate Thursdays; three courses let me so tired. I tried to integrate obsidian into Lazyvim. On a side note, I forgot cook last night, so I had to buy a hunch today. A very small bowl dishes cost me 14 CAD. So crazy. Good night. This journal is wrote by Lazyvim, cool!

10:25 Learning English I should study English at home rather than in the office, I think. I need to write more journals. 14:16 Vimium Vimium is a browser extension that can make using a browser like Vim. 15:58 Safety Training Finished the Safety Training online course, and then I could start doing the lab soon, hopefully. 16:10 About Polishing Today I learned a very important concept – about polishing. At the stage of writing, don’t worry about the format and the grammar issues. ...

I had two classes today that went until 2 PM. I was extremely tired all day because I didn’t sleep well. At lunch, I thought about eating early since I had class soon. I mentioned this to Chathuranga, and he said he wanted to eat now too. Well, that made our group too big and we couldn’t all sit together. It was pretty awkward.
