Confessions of a researchaholic

I usually enjoy the period right before a holiday more than the holiday itself, maybe because I feel more relaxed thinking about a break than actually taking one.

My current employer has great on-site meal services with high quality, nutrition, taste, variety, and in a subsidized price. The employees usually use an app to order and pay for the meals.

But today, when I tried to pick up my ordered meal, I found the food stall already closed. I was then told that since the app is down, we can just take whatever they like without paying.

As expected, the popular food stalls either had long queues or were already closed due to running out of inventory.

So I just had some salad which seems less popular or better stocked.

When learning a new skill, how well we can do at the beginning or how fast we can improve over time matter less how persistent we can be.
Sometimes the progress might not be obvious in the short term but might pleasantly surprise us in the long term.

I realized a while back (maybe during my teen years) that my brain tends to move too fast for by body to catch up, causing fast (and thus unclear) talking, hand writing, and body movements.

The instructor of one of my physical classes also made similar comments, so today I performed one these forms in a super slow motion. It was more physically demanding (as I need to hold each position longer) but also more mentally relaxing (as I can focus inside myself).
