In the afternoon, I focused on reviewing class lectures to prepare for my final exam.

I attempted to use Copilot to develop a Zotero plugin that would export vocabulary words directly to Eudic, but unfortunately, it performed very poorly (or didn’t deliver good results).

After finishing my work, Amir and I made our first-ever trip to the Cameron Library.

Summary of Polish:

• “I polished and submitted the RFI 7 of Concrete Materials in Practice” shortened slightly to “I polished and submitted RFI 7 for the Concrete Materials in Practice course” (Clearer flow).

• “Afternoon, I reviewed the class lectures for preparing the final exam” changed to “In the afternoon, I focused on reviewing class lectures to prepare for my final exam” (Improved transition and verb choice).

• “I wanted let Copilot to develop a Zotero plugin…” changed to “I attempted to use Copilot to develop a Zotero plugin…” (More precise verb).

• “it did really bad” changed to “it performed very poorly (or didn’t deliver good results)” (More formal and polished phrasing).

• “Amir and I first time went to the Cameron library” changed to “Amir and I made our first-ever trip to the Cameron Library” (More idiomatic and emphasizes the novelty).

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.

After the group meeting, I walked over to the university pharmacy to get a flu shot. I realized that I’m becoming increasingly capable of handling things on my own, which is a great feeling. I’m truly doing well!

I also managed to complete some parts of RFI 7 with the help of the Claude Opus agent. It’s only when I actively use these technologies that I truly grasp their power and capability.

Summary of Polish:

• “I took shorter preparing time than before due to having a microwave” changed to “my preparation time was much shorter than usual, thanks to having the microwave” (More natural flow).

• “I didn’t like group meetings and I found that I have a abnormal mindset” changed to “I didn’t enjoy the group meeting, and I realized I might have a somewhat unhelpful mindset” (Improved wording; “abnormal” changed to “unhelpful”).

• “I even added some my personal negative thoughts to professors and exert back on myself” changed to “I find myself adding my own negative personal thoughts to what I imagine the professors think, which then reflects negatively back onto myself” (Clarified the difficult, internal thought process).

• “This process is really bad for me” changed to “This process is genuinely damaging to my self-esteem” (Used stronger, more specific phrasing).

• “I found I can gradually deal with a lot of things alone. I am really doing well.” combined and polished to “I realized that I’m becoming increasingly capable of handling things on my own, which is a great feeling. I’m truly doing well!” (Emphasized the positive realization).

• “Only when I use these technologies, I could found their power” changed to “It’s only when I actively use these technologies that I truly grasp their power and capability” (More precise and dynamic verb choice).
