01:04 Get insomnia again I want to have a good relaxing. 08:36 Woke up early Not only did I not sleep well, I also woke up very early.

Every time we argue, it drains our energy. ...
🕒 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. ...
Today is Saturday. I woke up early to video call Huan before she went to bed. I scolded her a bit again because I feel she often represses her emotions just to be a “good person.” I don’t think that’s healthy, especially between family and partners—it’s important to be honest about how we feel. After the call, I started working on my assignment. I’ve really come to enjoy using Quarto and LaTeX to complete my homework; the results look very professional. ...
Since I had no classes today, I spent the entire day working on my assignments. In the morning, Luis invited me to a breakfast event, but I turned him down. He then called Amir, who suggested that Luis ask me one more time, but I declined again. However, when they returned, Luis brought a burger back for me. I felt a bit guilty and embarrassed for having said no so many times when he was being so thoughtful. To make up for it, I shared some meat and an egg with him during lunch, which made me feel a little better. ...
I didn’t sleep well last night and didn’t fall asleep until almost two o’clock. I was exhausted the entire day today. On top of that, I had classes all day today. Three classes were truly draining. In the morning and again in the evening, Xiaohuan and I got into some confusing arguments over things that didn’t really make sense. Perhaps we both need to read more, experience more, and feel more. ...
I spent the whole day binge-watching Ted Lasso. In the afternoon, I decided to wash my bedsheets and small blanket to freshen them up and get rid of the dust. The dry weather in Edmonton makes everything get dusty so quickly! However, the washing machine was completely useless with my small blanket. When the cycle finished, it was still sopping wet. I naively thought the dryer might still be able to handle it, even in that state. ...
I still got up pretty late today, but at least I studied more than I did yesterday. For lunch I had porridge and stir‑fried edamame with pork. For dinner I had instant noodles and some shredded pancake. I watched a video today. I’ve always agreed with its main message, but seeing it again still served as a reminder. 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. ...
