傍晚收到ISS邮件要求填写下学期修课计划，一开始以为ICE只是个提案，原来是个实际政策！？所以他们随便决定政策，不需要国会审议投票决定？这么快？然而Trump之前被弹劾却还在白宫？我理解这是不同程序和法律的结果，但是没人觉得奇怪吗？

其实很多事情的混乱和不顺利，是由自我长期各种堆积下来的坏习惯和小毛病造成的结果，并不是结束。如果视它为一个征兆，则可以分析它解决它，由此改善自我。世间的人，都烦着各自的恼，我仅是其中一人。“活在当下” -- 意为: 专注此刻，正是此时手里的事，正是此刻身处的环境，无须为过去和未来过度担忧，但又要懂得现在此时此刻是过去的结果，未来的原因。

昨天ICE把针对国际生的新政策撤消，今天还是趁机弄好了下学期的一些事务。

- Send email to A for RL [not got response yet]
- Making slides for Informal Conference
Wellness: woke up at 9:30am, 1.5H walk with friends

其实我花了一晚上时间做完了IC的slides，还排练了好几遍，最后因理由退出了。
虽然还是有一些觉得“浪费时间了”的懊恼，但是在把term paper变成slides的几个小时中，我突然get到了教授最开始给过我的提议。之前我一直在另一个方向上使劲儿，写paper的过程中有过很多自我怀疑。现在更清楚接下来的survey要怎样design，以及我的RQ和贡献。所以，我的感想是: 1) 在时间紧凑有限的情况下，只做对自己最重要的事，略过无所谓的事；2) 所有事都不是无用的事。其实 1) 与 2) 不矛盾，只是时间问题。
