Today I went to the Vietnamese embassy to get a visa for the upcoming ICPC contest. On my way there, I fell and caught myself quickly enough with my arms. However, my left arm is still hurting. This is not the first time that a relatively minor thing makes me lose my breath or hurt for an unusual amount of time… I really need to take the time to exercise, or at least stretch…

When I returned home, a filming crew was in front of the building I live in. One of the staff was smoking right in the front door. I weakly asked him if it was okay to smoke there (it wasn’t), and while the smoker seemed abashed by that, another woman in the group told me to mind my own business, which I did… I really need to work on my aversion to conflict…

A few days ago I posted a small rant here. It was really hard to put that out, and even after the post I kept questioning if it was appropriate to “complain in public”. I feel the weight of not feeling able to take things out of my chest to other people or online… I really need to work on taking the trash out from my inner house from time to time…
