I am done with grading the huge pile of exams. My brain is looking for things to do. My dear colleagues are now loaded with work and made long faces when mentioning grading.

The brain is an extraordinary machine that needs a lot of care. Light therapy does wonders for my mood! I was sick and overwhelmed with work, but now I am happy and full of energy.

tIkTok Ban!
Filed Under Daily
I simply shrugged off the potential TikTok ban in the US as a non-event. To be honest, while TikTok had a few good things, it also had plenty of imperfections—nothing that I can’t find elsewhere. The good ideas often came from serious doctors or educated people from Europe.

A new lab technician joined the school. I tried to help her as much as I could. I focused on my teaching and my students. I avoided lab experiments and focused on theory. Meanwhile, those who were unfocused and lazy ultimately got what they deserved: troubles and useless stress. It was indeed much easier to stay away from trouble than to get out of it!

A bowl of steamed vegetables, salmon cooked in the air fryer, a boiled egg—no salt and no sugar and one liter of freshly squeezed orange juice. It is simply delicious and extremely healthy.

Light therapy works! It is simple and has a direct impact on mood and circadian rhythm. The brain immediately receives the ‘sunlight’ signals it requires and changes its chemistry accordingly. I will try the glasses version sometime; they are quite pricey at the moment.

Teaching is very rewarding intellectually because you transmit knowledge to another mind. If students want to learn, it makes the process very enjoyable. Working in the private sector was challenging because it seemed that nobody wanted to learn; everyone just wanted to get their paycheck and go home to do what they really wanted to do.

I did see the banking fraud and immediately canceled my credit card and asked for a refund. However, they successfully got through the banking system. Strange…! I wonder how someone managed to get through the bank security system.
