I’m so excited about my first experiences trying not to be nice. I opened a pull request (here) and called the approach of another developer “nasty”. It might look like a really small thing, but it’s considered a big move for me. I also wanted to add a “I don’t care” at the end of…

I need to stop my life and reconsider my goals and tasks. More generally, I need to identify every single source of stress in my life and resolve it. I really need this. So, I think I’m gonna skip the university for some days to resolve these issues and then return to my normal life….

You abandon your homeland, your friends, your diaries, and everything else. You leave your everything behind and go to a whole different land. You start to live with new people. People who haven’t grown up in a similar environment to yours. You do all of these because you pursue a bigger dream, or at least…

What a dark night it is… I just ended a >5 years long relationship. Damn it’s so hard… I keep thinking would it go better if I also received my US visa? Would it go better if I was with her and wasn’t forced to continue this relationship long distance? Who should I blame? Should…

I hadn’t written anything in the past ~3 weeks. Nothing important was happening during those days though. I don’t know what I’m going to write but I’m so bored and I would like to write something. Let’s start from what I did today. I woke up at 0830, took a shower, ate breakfast, and came…

When everything seems not right, it helps a lot to look for your micro-achievements and celebrate them. Yesterday, I asked one of my old questions from…

It’s not a language barrier, it’s a language BARRIER. I’m trying to talk to new people. The thing that I didn’t expect is that I run out of things to talk about very soon. It didn’t happen when I used to talk in Persian language. It’s like most of my nerve cells are just trying…

I’ve recently started to work on a research project. I haven’t had a real research experience before, and I’m going to talk about my first impressions in this post. I hate people who generalize their first impressions and tell them to other people with a lot of confidence. This might misguide people severely. Thus, keep…

This is simply an update just to say it seems the changes I mentioned in the previous post are working. I’m going to continue and see if anything goes wrong. Stay tuned.

I hereby announce that I’m going to modify my personality according to the change in my environment. I’ve always been too humble and it was a useful trait back in Iran, but I think it won’t work here. That’s based on my experiences and what an older friend of mine told me. Thus, I think…
