It's Summer#
Watermelon has been eaten in fruit salads for a long time. A few days ago, the weather was very hot, and I had to wear short sleeves. Excitedly, I said to my roommate, "It's so hot, let's have something cold to drink!" After choosing for a while, I decided to have ice cream red tea, which I haven't had in a long time. I ordered it with 50% sugar, and it still made me feel really sweet. I didn't feel guilty at all in the scorching weather. (After finishing it, I took a nap at my desk in the afternoon, ZZZ)
Having something cold to drink, having something cold to drink, having something cold to drink. I kept saying it for a couple of days, and then there was a slight drop in temperature. I had to put on a jacket when going out. Wow, the weather changes faster than me... On the day I wrote this weekly journal, it was 15°C in Shanghai.
Some Small Things#
A Friendly Classmate Who Likes to Say Hello 🙋#
When I was struggling with the environment configuration for the MIT xv6 experiment in the lab, I received a message from a classmate in our class. She said she saw a paper sharing session related to my topic in a group and shared it with me. She said I could go and listen if I was interested. When I saw it, I felt really good. It was just a casual forward for her, but it meant a lot to me.
But deep down, I had more thoughts: hhh, she took so many classes with me in a year, listening to me talk about the same things, and she was often called upon to answer questions about what I said. It's really hard for her... But I really don't want to do research, help me, they are so good at studying and doing research.
In addition to this friendly classmate, I also greeted several classmates when I met them. Although we didn't have much conversation, it felt much better than pretending not to see each other and just passing by naturally. Maybe I'm just too sociable...
The Hound of the Baskervilles#
This was really a shadow from my childhood. Jack the Ripper kept shark people, and then one by one, the children were sealed in sleeping pods like "Kinder Surprise Eggs". When I was a child, I would worry for them, but now that I've grown up, I know that Conan will definitely solve the case.
When I grew up and watched it with the ending in mind, I discovered many details. There were already many details in the beginning that laid the groundwork for the later events. This anime from the 0Xs is still very enjoyable to watch now. It would be even better if there are more classic movies like Harry Potter in the future, but if there are, it might be difficult to get tickets... (Damn it, people who watch movies are all couples)
After watching the movie, I ate roujiamo (Chinese hamburger) that had a long queue in front of the school gate. The portion was really big, but the taste didn't surprise me... (The fatty meat was cooked until it was soft, not too greasy, blah blah blah)
Days with Emotional Strength#
Recently, I've been studying the xv6 experiment, which involves git version control, gdb, and using Docker, among other things. I'm completely confused, and setting up the environment has been torturous for several days. I keep changing things, but every time I solve a problem and understand it, I feel like I've learned something new. It feels so good to take a deep breath and feel accomplished, but I still feel like I'm not very smart. Damn it.
It's been a long time since I've felt this way. Maybe I've been frantically preparing for presentations in class, which drove me crazy. Every day, I'm like an Americano (coffee).
In these days with emotional strength, I feel motivated to work hard, and failures don't seem so scary. It feels like there's something to look forward to.
