ups and downs and ups today

 8. October 2022 / day rating: 7/10

today I...

- got woken up by my mum

    - Have you ever noticed that Asians are always putting their telephone conversation partners on 

      loudspeakers? Literally, every Vietnamese does that!! Its so loud, that I can understand the person on 

      the other side better than my mum!

- ate breakfast afterwards and did some little things

- visited a shop for shoe repairs to fix my "all season" - shoes

    - only 20 bucks! Hope thats worth it.

- ate lunch at home and then started filling some papers for my mum

    - because of her psychological illness she gets money from the German government. But its 

      unbelievable how much you are exposed, cause so many things are asked.

    - Im a bit concerned about this rule, which regulates how much living space is appropriate for a specific

       number of persons. And ours is a bit to big for just one person.

    - I really pray that this is not a problem. If it is, I maybe have to move back 😖

- met with my best friends afterwards

    - we walked a bit, but rain set in and pretty much ruined everything

    - But we got to see the sunset and we agreed on: potatoes > rice, sry to all my asian friends

- ended the day with some grocery shopping and writing this blog post

some pictures: 

fixed my keyboard😎
this pic might has some meme potential

some park pics

late night work/snack/chill session

some thoughts/ideas/random things:

    - sth wrong my phone 

        - more and more bugs lately such as "record screen time" not working as well as some widgets

        - Oh MAN! I dont want to buy a new phone, this was supposed to last 5 years!!

        - Its just two years old

    - trying to stop comparing with others

        - yeah university is starting, so some kind of competition starts, mentally like who is the best

          the smartest, the most hardworking

        - It kinda motivates me to be better than everyone else, but its unhealthy for me

        - I wanna give the best of my best, no matter how anyone else performs 

        - Also it makes me less arrogant, which I tend to be more often lately and I really hate that 

          about myself 

    - started rewatching "7 vs wild"

        - great serie on YouTube (free to watch)

    - What I also want to prevent with the start of university:

        - getting distracted by social media especially YouTube

        - I tend to watch YT in the background in like every situation at home, literally every situation

        - Its often just in the background and I dont really watch it actively,

        - yeah I need to get away from this, full concentration on university now 💪

    - negotiated a new internet contract with vodafone

        - Im now getting a tenth/10% of my old bandwidth 

        - We paid 50€ a month, now 20€ --> sounds like a bad deal, but thats really fine for me

    - I want to meet more "hustlers" 

        - And I mean computer science "hustlers" 

        - people like me, people who are smarter than me who are more motivated and hardworking than me

        - Tieto is not that type of guy, but there is some kind of motivation he gives me

        - normally its me trying to get better than anyone else --> thats what motivated me in the past

        - now I want to get better to teach and help my friends, in this case Tieto --> gettin healthier

    - No one wants to get teached/told about sth he/she already knows

        - that is really common. True for me and many others as well

        - But thinking about it: Why is it bad? There isn't really a downside of it

    - Also university topic:

        - some of my student comrades, not friends, are really dumb and/or lazy

        - I thought computer science is sth for nerds and hustlers and these kind of people
