Despite the tiredness, it was a very fulfilling day of study. I spent the entire day reading literature and recorded my thoughts and to-do items in my weekly log (2026-W03). I also managed to submit my assignments. In the morning, I grabbed a coffee with Dr. Zhao. During lunch with Luis, Amir, and Dr. Zhao, we ran into Zheng, and I introduced everyone. Without realizing it, I’ve once again become the central hub and a bridge for connecting different people in the group.

For dinner, I made some vegetables in a sour broth (Suantang), which was delicious. Afterward, I started working on some code to implement an all-in-one workflow for my assignments using Quarto.

On a side note, I found a discarded chair near the garbage station this morning and decided to salvage it. Also, after seeing that my roommate had left the bathroom messy again, I finally hit my limit and sent him a message to address the issue.
