After saying goodbye to Double Eleven, we welcome Double Twelve. As always, if Double Eleven is a gimmick, then Double Twelve is an even bigger gimmick. However, I did manage to buy some reasonably priced items on PDD recently (photo printer, albums, snacks, etc.), so the above statement can be taken as a joke for now.
Back in November, I truly felt the arrival of winter this month, and through my own reflections, I understood that certain measures are needed to stay warm during winter. I prepared blankets, fuzzy slippers, windbreakers, thermal underwear, etc., which gave me a stronger ability to resist the cold. In fact, it wasn't that it wasn't cold before; I just thought a little cold was acceptable, and there were more pressing matters than managing warmth. Now I realize that living well is a significant matter.
In another important aspect—food—I have basically tried all the signature dishes from the newly opened third floor of Canteen B, and none of them disappointed; surprisingly, they were all quite good, though the prices are slightly higher than other canteens. One can only say that you get what you pay for. I also ate several times at Y Mama's rice noodle shop that I discovered last month, and I found two new snail noodle shops and a Quanzhou rice noodle soup place, which I also visited a few times. The flavors are unforgettable, and I always want to go back. If I previously neglected myself in terms of clothing, I can say that I am not slacking off when it comes to food; I eat well and fill up, striving to reach a new high in weight.
On the work front, I had to report at the group meeting on December 1. Although the initial preparation made my boss feel like I was cramming at the last minute, the final result was still somewhat satisfactory (note: meaning it was still able to uplift people's spirits; generally satisfactory, with a positive connotation). This challenge can be considered a success. After that, the preparation for the annual meeting also fell on my shoulders, and with several final exams for different courses, I have been working continuously for three to four weeks now, so I really need to take a good rest.
As for other matters like holiday plans and year-end summaries, I'll summarize them next month.
