It's me again. 


Last Sunday, I received a message from a professor informing me that our study has been selected for the upcoming international research conference. It's an incredible opportunity, but I must admit, it's also made me feel a little nervous. Despite my initial reservations, I realize that being chosen for this prestigious conference is a testament to the quality of our work. I can't help but wonder if we were truly deserving of this honor or if we simply lucked out by having the best paper among the submissions. I know this line of thinking may sound overly negative, and I acknowledge that it's important to celebrate our achievements.


Once again, I find myself reflecting on an issue that has been weighing heavily on my mind lately. As I diligently search for a full-time job, a sense of unease lingers within me, fuelled by concerns about how my future plans might affect potential employers. You see, I have recently made the decision to return to college next year, and this choice fills me with apprehension, as I fear it may be perceived as a red flag during the hiring process. The urgency to secure a job as soon as possible weighs heavily on my mind. 


It is imperative for me to begin saving up and make the most of my time. However, I must admit that nervousness lingers within me as this marks my first venture into the professional world. In my quest for guidance, I have turned to YouTube videos, which have provided valuable tips and insights about what to expect.


Another thing that has been on my mind is that someone special to me is about to embark on a special vacation with their family to Vietnam. Knowing that Vietnam is relatively close to my country, a fear has taken hold of me—I worry that they might visit here without informing me. I realize it may sound presumptuous, but I can't help but be concerned about the possibility of an unexpected visit catching me unprepared.


By the way, I tried sparkling water for the first time yesterday, but I didn't enjoy it as much as I thought I would. It seems like my taste buds have become accustomed to the sweetness of carbonated beverages.
