20251127diary

Today is November 27, 2025. I have decided to start writing a bilingual diary, so that I can keep a record of my life while practicing my English at the same time.

Today, I received the specific requirements for my PhD application interview and started preparing in advance. I think language is the biggest challenge I need to overcome. My spoken English is so poor that I feel I won’t be able to open my mouth during the interview. Therefore, I’ve decided to prepare an English draft ahead of time, think through all the possible questions, and practice in advance. The debt I have owed for so long finally has to be paid…

I also found an article written by another professor who will be on the interview panel, but unfortunately, I felt sleepy almost as soon as I started reading. I really don’t know what to do with myself. How can I possibly go for a PhD if I’m like this? Forget it — this is just the way I am.

I think I should live in the moment. For me, the most important thing is to make each day interesting and enjoyable. I think learning a language and its culture is really fascinating. Today, I hope I can learn a bit of English and understand a little more about English culture. Then I can call it a day. That’s all.
