M1 Student First Month Report

I started my master study earlier this month. Our lab got one student from my country who were an intern last year and next year there might be another two coming if their scholarship got accepted. So far everything goes well enough. The temperature is dropping in the evening and I could easily feel cold in the early morning. The sun still shines, but the breeze is crazy cold.

This month also the month of minimum expense. I already calculated everything and it turned out that I only spent around 35K yen this month. There were nothing much to tell this month though. All I have are classes and lab. Not much time to go anywhere else, or rather I lost my will to go anywhere since my research produces weird result. Hhhh~

On the third week this month, from Saturday and Sunday there were no internet and electricity. It was an annual thing to do here I heard. So rather than doing nothing, I spend my Saturday cycling to Byodoin. The temple you can see on the back of 10 yen coin.

Since I got my new bike I have much confidence to go further and further I don't know why. It just feel safe and somehow satisfying. The distance from my campus is ~30Km, so it was around ~60Km round-trip. However, on that day, my knee hurt so bad. It was like stinging from the inside.

I think this one is because I haven't fully recovered from the 50Km trip last month. I can hardly move my right leg and I can't walk up-down the stairs. So because the pain is too intense and I feel this is something I can't ignore, I went to my campus health center. They gave me a patch to reduce the pain. This time I won't go cycling for a month or so.

As for my paper, nope. I won't submit it this year. The result is too weird.

That's all. Ah, and the leaves color started to change. Welcome autumn.
