Life is a Struggle.

Today I’m completely “laid up”

I don’t know why, but when I take a deep breath the middle of my chest hurts; I feel very weak and can’t concentrate when writing

It feels a bit like brain fog

I went to the infirmary, and the doctor said there might be an issue with my heart or rib nerves, plus a cold

He prescribed some medication and a referral, and I hurried back

Struggle is a countable / singular noun. So the title should be ‘Life’s a stuggle’. I’ve corrected that for you.

Thank you admin for correcting the grammar mistake :kissing_face_with_closed_eyes:

I actually saw what you posted
You’re right

I didn’t delete it because I thought there was a problem; I just didn’t understand where this reply was, thought I replied incorrectly.
To put it bluntly, why are you anxious? Do you really have no clue? I’m a bit straightforward, sorry.

I know what you mean, saying it directly isn’t a big deal, after all we don’t know each other in real life
Directly pointing it out actually helps me change my mindset.

Go to bed early; when you get sick, you’ll think that staying up late before was really stupid.

Admins also need to rest on schedule; staying up late makes you hate yourself the next morning for the previous night.

Life is a struggle, the days still have to go on,
After tasting joy, anger, sorrow and happiness, there are endless troubles;
Everyday, how many problems must be faced,
How many nights of pain and worry keep you from sleeping.

I first heard this song in elementary school, and the boomerang of fate :boomerang: eventually hit my future self years later
Life’s a Struggle.
As long as a person is not dead, life must go on

Two days before the day before yesterday a professional friend invited me to eat; he studied Optoelectronic Information Science and Engineering, which is a major under Electronic Information.
Engineering naturally requires learning a lot of math‑related subjects, such as probability theory and the like, some physics courses—for example electromagnetism, which is also closely tied to mathematics—and it is extremely painful.
My parents actually prefer that I study electronic‑information‑related majors because they have so‑called “acquaintances” in that field; later I could take their graduate exams. They don’t want me to go straight into employment after a master’s; if I want to continue, I could pursue a PhD with them.
I actually resent this “arranged” approach; I have a kind of “young bull not fearing the tiger” spirit.
I quite like computer/electronic‑information majors, but I don’t choose them because I am afraid of learning the underlying principles, I am afraid of their foundations, I am afraid of mathematics or other core courses.
When I learn something I seem to rely on empiricism, liking to try‑and‑error myself and then correct the result to get the right answer (somewhat like AI?).
Someone as clumsy as me finds it hard to achieve success in CS/Math directions.
Maybe giving up on choosing related majors is a form of avoidance? I really am a coward.
I also don’t like chemistry/biology; I just enjoy the “what you see is what you get” feeling of doing experiments.
I once had a meal with a professor from Zhongda, and one sentence she said benefited me

That said, it’s not entirely correct; at least when I read biology books, I’m happy.

This is the path I chose for myself, and I feel happy.

These days, biology feels focused on short, simple, fast studies, leaning toward microbes and molecules. At a slightly larger scale, it’s basically just raising a mouse. Fields with longer cycles in biology seem rarely seen.

I’m thinking maybe I’ll just do bioinformatics with the professor :sweat_smile:
But it seems many groups are doing bioinformatics, and later on it looks like you also have to compete on algorithms.
But before I found a professor working on plant pests and diseases

Pathogenic microbes also seem good? Anyway, I’m not in a hurry to find a job, so I’ll try more things qvq

Bioinformatics is considered the elite within the field of biology, although many people have been flooding in. The direction I have now is somewhat divergent from the direction I personally want to strive for. At that time I was a bit going with the flow, now I can feel a bit of unwillingness.

I actually really want to work on pathogenic microorganisms; not exaggerating, when I wanted to study biology I wanted to tackle pathogens. Unfortunately the school didn’t have those facilities, so I finally found a professor working on plant diseases and pests.

But isn’t life just about constantly making trade‑offs between compromise and ideals? :hugging_face_cat:

Maybe later I’ll have the chance to get involved in the direction I’m interested in.

As I recall, last year I transferred to Wuhan University Medical, and that field was pathogenic microorganisms. If you really want to work in this area, you might as well go to Wuhan and take a look; it seems Wuhan also has a virus institute (

Yes, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, Chinese Academy of Sciences :hugging_face_pleading_face:

The place of love in dreams

I heard from the neighboring medical electronics department that medical devices (their targeted employment direction) have been declining in recent years, and biology has never been doing well, so it’s not even a question of whether it’s declining or not.

It hurts when I inhale; I’ve experienced it occasionally too, but it always eases after that moment (
