It is now the evening of May 14, and I have delayed writing the summary until mid-month. Although there is a reason for this (working on my graduation project), I still feel that postponing the summary is not a commendable thing. Without further ado, let's get to the point.
At the beginning of April, at my suggestion, I got a new phone (Xiaomi Civi 4 Pro) and new headphones (Redmi Buds 5 Pro). It felt great to be able to help. Amid the intense thesis writing, I inserted a week of public service practice classes. The so-called public service work actually involved weeding, changing water in the fish tank, trimming branches, etc. The workload was not even enough for a week, so during those days, I mostly finished all the work in the morning at double speed, and then in the afternoon, I could hang out with my friends in the DH Garden (the elegant seating area), making it a tiring yet enjoyable week.
After that, it was back to the usual work in the research group, leaving early and returning late, with no changes. Just as I was about to fall into boredom, I took advantage of a weekend (April 26 and 27) to relax with my friends at the Xian Ning Biyuan. Thanks to Hubei Cultural Tourism for the complimentary tickets to the Xian Ning Biyuan hot springs, which allowed me to experience various hot springs for free. The most memorable one was the hot spring with little fish (although this one was paid), and the full-body fish therapy was a novel and stimulating experience that is hard to describe. On the day in Xian Ning, my friend had a fever, and I was very worried, talking on the phone for a long time. After about two or three days, my friend recovered, which was great.
After returning to school from the Xian Ning Biyuan, the daily routine of working in the research group resumed. Even during the May Day holiday, I was writing my thesis with little entertainment, and up until today, the thesis is almost complete. However, it can be expected that the entire month of May will continue in a work state, even more monotonous than April. I hope to pass the graduation defense at the end of the month, and then in June, there will only be some miscellaneous tasks related to graduation.
