Every day, I woke up at 5:30 am and started grading exams until 12 pm; it was my last pile of exams. It felt great. I think I am done with many minor chores as well.

One of my bank accounts has a flaw and is exposed to a second instance of fraud. I had to request a change of the online login and a new card, and I canceled some fraudulent transfers.

My cracked version of Microsoft Office was blocked, which greatly disturbed me. Luckily, I had all my teaching materials ready, and I was able to use them on my school iPad and laptop. I figured out a way to reinstall another cracked version quickly. I do own a proper 2007 license from Microsoft.

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.
