October

Nope. I should not date my student. But this girl, she is really reminding me of her in so many ways. It is true that I can't communicate regarding her current experience. We grew up in different era anw. Simply she just comes to me whenever she wants to rant about something. 

Never ending task this week. Deadlines for paper final manuscript, another paper, competency profiling form, exam questions. Asked to help interviewing incoming students. I want to quit. Quietly.

September

Ah, the paper I submitted last July just got rejected while my friend who helped me writing the manuscript got accepted. Well, I saved a lot of hassle but at the same time I feel my confidence shattered into pieces. I will just take this as a lesson and a reminder to be humble.

Saturday, I went to my aunt's house to take the groceries I needed for the following week. I went back to my place in the next day. In the middle of the return trip, I met a group of roadies. As an opportunist, I tailed them so that I can save a bit of my energy (the slip stream, babe).

I feel like my life is shit lately. Tight deadlines, too many things to do.

Volunteering to a big crowdsourcing project. Actually, I've been invited months before my friend told me that she is contributing also. Nice change of pace. Happy to code again. However, I don't know why I started this toxic competition within myself, that I should be more in everything compared to her. 

Class project deadline. Copyright form. WHY THE FUCK DOES A UNIVERSITY NEEDS A BUNCH OF COPYRIGHT FORMS FROM STUDENT PROJECTS EVERY FUCKING YEAR? WHY?!

Why can't you make PERFORMANCE METRICS which does not depend on the other's free will? Especially the students. Can you stop doing that? Who the fuck created this rule and metric? You can go fuck yourself. Really. Fuck off.

October - Carry Your Own

The results of my first experiment are here. There are a lot of numbers to analyze. My previous supervisor from back when I was doing my mas...
