Today is May 1, 2022, Sunday, International Labor Day.
International Labor Day, also known as "May Day" or "International Workers' Day," is a national holiday in over 80 countries around the world, a holiday shared by working people globally. In July 1889, the Second International, led by Engels, held a congress in Paris. The conference passed a resolution calling for international workers to hold a parade on May 1, 1890, and decided to designate May 1 as International Labor Day.
Actually, it is now May 2. Yesterday, I went to enjoy outdoor barbecue with P and A, so this summary is also completed in two days. Although it is a holiday, I still have a lot of work, with courses or projects like engineering drawings and Rubik's Cube robots still in progress, so I have to say, "Labor is the most glorious."
Last time I mentioned that the first few classes of the Python elective course were somewhat boring, and now that the course is basically over, I realize it was indeed boring. Many courses in university use extremely advanced technology—audio PPTs—yet the actual gains for students in these classes are quite limited. However, with my understanding of Python and self-study, completing this course is definitely not a problem. Additionally, the GitHub Repo related to web scraping is also being steadily updated.
Regarding the midterm test in quantum mechanics that I mentioned last time, the score was as expected, but the points deducted were indeed unexpected (there was a small question I didn't answer). Overall, the questions were very simple, and I believe the instructor won't make it difficult for students in the final exam, so the credits for quantum mechanics are secured, but to truly learn quantum mechanics, there is still a long and arduous road ahead. As for the other three major courses—Fundamentals of Materials Science, Fundamentals of Materials Crystallography, and Solid State Physics—I find them quite obscure, and with the concepts confusing each other, achieving good grades will require considerable effort.
April indeed passed quickly, and the upcoming study life before the holiday, whether busy or slacking off, should be cherished. 😶🌫️
