Haha, none of us managed to get up on time this morning. When the alarm went off a second time, I realized it was probably getting late. I quickly checked the clock—it was already 7:20! I hurriedly scooped up Hamer, took her to wash up, and, still half-asleep, she finished up in the bathroom and brushed her teeth. Xiaoyan and I took turns helping her get ready. We arrived at school right at 7:45, cutting it close but not too late.
I didn’t have time to make breakfast this morning, so I grabbed some chicken breast, but eating it plain was a bit hard to stomach—felt pretty gross, to be honest.
The main task today was figuring out how to optimize the interface for device connections, and I ran into several challenges. The most frustrating issue was dealing with the ContentTemplate and DataTemplate in the dropdown box. Not being familiar with this part, it took me a while to figure out how to make the selected item display the same as the dropdown list. Before understanding it, nothing worked no matter how I tried, and the more I debugged, the more annoyed I became. Although it’s only Tuesday, I already feel like I’m running out of time, with so many details still waiting to be handled.
In the evening, I played a round of badminton—it’s the one time I can really let loose and relax these days. I had a great time, played several casual matches with colleagues, and by the end, my racket strings even snapped. After playing, I debated whether to go back to the office to tweak the interface a bit more, but thankfully, I resisted and decided to head home early.
After dinner, it was another busy time for each of us. Hamer was working on her math homework, while Xiaoyan was organizing the schedule for client visits to her company next month. Once Hamer finished her math, I helped her start learning to use Keynote. I guided her step-by-step, teaching her to recreate the picture on her labor history I’d done for her before, and with a bit of effort, she completed it successfully. Right before bedtime, Hamer suddenly remembered she hadn’t finished writing her journal, so she quickly reviewed and memorized what she needed, then went to bed peacefully.
