I have a three day training this week on responding to assaultive patients, and it’s not boring. I was dreading it, because the old program was deadly, both in terms of its presentation and its probable helpfulness in a bad situation. This one makes much more sense to me. But also the presenter is engaging. I am happy and relieved.

I found an amazing abstract algebra textbook online as well as a full course (with practice problems and solutions). So excited to get started!

The comp Sci discord is seriously amazing. We have this thing where we say good morning to each other and I have very interesting conversations pretty much every day! They also made me a personal emote based on my food blog logo

Turns out, I’m going to get school credit for the project I got invited to join!

Sitting outside in a pleasantly active park on a beautiful summer night like tonight - full moon, gentle breeze, mid-70s temp, grass, trees, and crickets. Wonderful.

Used bookstores, for their general atmosphere and for when you find a real gem. I’m still giddy about finding a somewhat rare book last week for less than 1/4 of its online price.

Watching cartoons in the morning with my 2yr old son makes me happy…he just chills out and snuggles up with me…he drinks his juice, I drink coffee and we just hang out. It’s quiet, relaxed and nice. What’s even better is when we watch the cartoons I grew up with cause it’s something from my childhood that I can share with him…this morning he chose Balto which is one of my favourites….the unfortunate thing is that this morning routine makes it hard to want to go to work haha

After moving to my current city two years ago, I finally made my first friend outside of work. And we’re going to hang out this weekend. My closest friends live hundreds of miles away, and while my co-workers are nice, we always talk about the same thing – work. I’m so excited! Feeling good about it.

Today has been the best day I’ve had in a very very very long time.
- I figured out a coding assignment all on my own and will probably be helping the two guys in my hw group instead of the other way around (one of them is the friend I always talk about)
- I crushed my deadlift workout despite feeling decently crap going in- even crushed my pull-up goal
- Cleared my assignment load or at least know how to do what I need
- My friend complimented my work ethic!!!
- I’ve been accepted as a grader for an Econ class!

My professors are just freaking awesome:
Game theory prof (also friend’s advisor)spent office hours discussing a problem with me for a personal project (piece of writing that’s tangentially related to class) and seemed very interested. He also asked about my research (from the disastrous first meeting) and told me about growing up/studying in Russia.
Quote: “oh, the president. People hate the president, I’m serious” 
Turns out he was into working out in secondary school and that gymnastics was pretty much mandatory in primary school.
Not surprising because he has a very wide back.
Emerging markets prof is just a great person. He’s the most animated and enthusiastic person I’ve met. He also seems to really care about us as people.
The homework was tedious and painful (replicating graphs using R). I told him I was really struggling. He not only changed the problem sets, he reached out to me personally

We had to use Stata for doing this shit when I was in undergrad … wish it was in R though as R is far more practical in the business world considering is low cost to implement haha

My kid wanted to watch some ninja shit, I threw the first thing that popped up on YouTube that was short.
I can’t explain the warm fuzzy feeling I got watching this. It is exactly the type of thing my friends in high school would watch and be convinced they were watching the most dangerous man on the planet who could single handedly wipe out an armed gang.
Glorious:
