For once, I&#8217;m able to admire it without having to worry about journeying through it to class. It&#8217;s very bright out as a result, and the whiteness reflects endlessly in my room. That&#8217;s probably not&#8230; optically correct, but it sure is blindingly white outside. I can barely look out my windows. I guess that&#8217;s it for an introduction to the post. Like last year, I am once again halfway through reading break. I can safely say that I&#8217;ve been even less productive this year, but I also care a little less&#8230; I just want to get this semester done with. Get this whole degree done with, to be honest. School is an exhausting thing and I wish it wasn&#8217;t so necessary.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, today&#8217;s recommendation is a very fresh one. I ordered a milk tea just now and chose kanten jelly as a topping (I know why it&#8217;s called a &#8220;topping&#8221;, but since it usually sinks to the bottom, shouldn&#8217;t it be called a&#8230; actually, never mind.). It&#8217;s very nice. I like the texture. For some inexplicable reason, the bounciness reminds me of a nameless emotion, but it&#8217;s an emotion adjacent to joy. Normally I get grass jelly as a topping because 1) it&#8217;s soft, 2) it was a sort of nickname in high school, so it has a bit of a bittersweet tinge to it&#8230;, and 3) tastes good, but some places aren&#8217;t very generous with the amount of jelly. I&#8217;m not that picky but I <em>would<\/em> like to get my 70 cents worth, you know?<\/p>\n<p>Something else I&#8217;d like to recommend is a whiteboard wall sticker! I bought a roll of whiteboard material, which you can cut and stick onto a clean section of wall. It&#8217;s great fun: I cut one piece to use as a weekly planner, and it&#8217;s placed somewhere with high visibility in my room; and another one I cut smaller and placed behind me so I can turn around like some kind of &#8230; detective? and write down any thoughts or idea for projects. Obviously these aren&#8217;t advertisements, just a good-spirited recommendation. I like whiteboards, they remind me of elementary school. The weekly calendar especially reminds me of the Shape of the Day from primary grades.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5108\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5108\" style=\"width: 600px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5108\" src=\"https:\/\/www.yinzhuohan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/yushui2-946x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"649\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.yinzhuohan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/yushui2-946x1024.jpg 946w, https:\/\/www.yinzhuohan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/yushui2-277x300.jpg 277w, https:\/\/www.yinzhuohan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/yushui2-768x831.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.yinzhuohan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/yushui2-1419x1536.jpg 1419w, https:\/\/www.yinzhuohan.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/yushui2-1892x2048.jpg 1892w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-5108\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">I have interesting printing so it&#8217;s probably for the better that you can&#8217;t read it.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>One more recommendation, since I like groups of 3: <a href=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/track\/07UuCZbEgcPXqpDpVDQiQF?si=UoNGjik2QLSzPOKZPMOVAA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this song<\/a>. No particular reason, I just like it. I would link a playlist I made but I think they&#8217;re just a tad bit too specific for anyone other than Gloria to Get. But who knows, maybe someday I&#8217;ll link one and it&#8217;ll be relatable enough&#8230; or something.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s see&#8230; no real profound thoughts recently. I&#8217;ve just been physically chilling and mentally stuck in a rut. I have a lot of projects due next week, as well as a midterm, but I&#8217;ve been putting it all off. I don&#8217;t know where to start, despite having many scattered pieces and ideas all around my brain and my room&#8230; these ellipses are just further evidence that I have no idea what I&#8217;m doing. Being lost is also tiring. But anyway, I think that&#8217;s it for today. Hopefully next post I&#8217;ll still be functional.<\/p>\n<p>Until then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u96e8\u6c34\u3002 There was a snowfall warning for this week, and it&#8217;s been falling pretty readily this whole week.
