Losing temper in group assignment(week4总结)
Social
An abundance of social activities are encountered, which is pretty rare to me after a long gap period.
In a group assignment for University English, I was pretty angry towards one group member, Hans, since he used generative AI to generate his entire infographic. I burst into anger that night and said smth bad to him. And this emotion influenced me that I do not have mood to do my own stuff. I should just first finish my own stuff, because I cannot really change other people. It is impossible. Control what I can control, then, let it be. But the result of the group assignment turned out to be not bad, as Hans is more engaged than I thought. And that's why I feel a bit guilty. lesson learned, especially in a university where there're group assignments in every course.😿
I have a phone call with my mom every two weeks; the frequency is adequate. And I try to not leak any terrible information. My parents can't really help me with anything but give me company; listening to their voice means more than telling them my hardships, which is smth I wanna avoid.
I spend particularly more time playing with my middle school friends online; it restores me a lot of sanity.
Study
I invest most of my time doing coursework. Now I am aiming for a high GPA. I do think it is the highest-return mission for me. Here are some things that I found:
- CS1302A: the interactive Jupyter notebook great resource; I should make a plan to review for the midterm by doing all the specimen papers
- GE1601 is something I still haven't done; I should make a plan.
- MA1502, it is the most controllable course; there are no group assignments or subjective assessments, so I should aim higher, like an A+.
However, I am still not content with the working hours that I did this week. Part of the reason is that my roommate is always playing games, so it kind of influences me. The other part is that I play too many games with my friends. After playing games, you can't get back to work immediately due to the dopamine drop(Just like porn). But I am not saying I cannot play with them anymore. The connection is important to my sanity. But I should really plan wisely. Speaking of plans, I fell behind my schedule this week.
Life
I got my Octopus card and temporary HKID this week. Everything is going pretty smoothly this week. I feel like I've built a pipeline for eating and washing, so now nothing takes too much attention. Really great.
Final
84 days left in this semester. Reflecting, improving, growing. I feel like the momentum is great. I wish most things could be nice as well.
