I am a very slow learner in terms of how to deal with people, am I not? It just hit me that the lesson that Samuel taught me yesterday was precisely the lesson that he taught me just a month ago...and I never learned it to heart. Sigh...so yeah, I'm still a social idiot.

Woke up early today because of all the uneasyness that I was feeling...wrote an email and felt better...matroid class where Jim asked me first if I want to do an exercise, and I did, and turns out that's the one that almost everyone knows how to do, and nothing else, oops...supervisor meeting depressing but ok...I've calmed down a lot now, but it's still pains me whenever I think about what happened...

I'm grateful to God for...

• giving me peace this morning after having sent an email to Samuel;
• calming me down so that I can face the day's challenges, instead of dwelling in the painful past;
• Samuel, who is not afraid to get tough with me when I'm wrong;
• Francis' replies to my emails sent long ago; and
• making it a bit easier to avoid visiting tempting websites today.
