I went to the gym to exercise alone. Using the elliptical machine, I sweated a lot. I finished two assignments today: one is the FEM and the other is MINE 630. #Shiva came back for the convocation ceremony. We took some photos, like Jian did before. I gradually found some negative aspects in those who seem very good. Some people are easy to figure out; others take time.
Today no class and didn’t do too much things. I had a meeting with Victor regarding my term paper, and I really appreciate his concepts. He gave me enough freedom and confidence to do what I want to do. Sometime I care too much what other people think. Today I told to Chathuranga, Luis, Amir that I picked up a apple pencil on square ground last term. Amir asked me that didn’t you post a lost and found? I thought how can I find and make sure who does this pencil belong to? And nobody is in near there at that time. ...
I got up at 7 a.m. and went to the gym to exercise. After that, I quickly took a shower and went to the FEM class. Then I received a message from Chathuranga inviting us to go to the concrete lab for a UCS test. After quickly having lunch, I rushed to the Rock Mechanics class, and then later attended the MINE 630 class. Finally, I was able to go home and relax. ...
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. ...
Today was a fulfilling day! I woke up early and found that my preparation time was much shorter than usual, thanks to having the microwave. I spent the morning finalizing the slides for our group presentation. As is often the case, I didn’t enjoy the group meeting, and I realized I might have a somewhat unhelpful mindset. I’m constantly worried about the professor’s judgment of me. Worse, I find myself adding my own negative personal thoughts to what I imagine the professors think, which then reflects negatively back onto myself. This cycle leads me to underestimate and doubt my own abilities. This process is genuinely damaging to my self-esteem. ...
