Yesterday I mainly worked on my class in the morning trying to put together a lecture on bonding in metals. I met with Feichen and Jiacheng after lunch. I got frustrated because Jiacheng hadn’t addressed a communication issue with Will last week about what type of compression test needed to be performed. I expressed my frustration, even though I wasn’t sure I should. But I think it was an important issue that should have been addressed and it really wasn’t clear why it was not addressed, given then they cared about the project. But that frustration kind of stuck with me for the rest of the day for some reason, whereas I had been in a good mood up to that point.
I did my push workout and headed home a bit early by skipping my shower. Keira had cooked fish, soup, rice, lettuce, and long life noodles. After dinner we gave Harvey his chocolate birthday muffin and sang happy birthday. Alexandra thought it was her birthday too, but we explained it was Harvey’s birthday. Then we opened the books from Mom and Dad and the remote control car. Harvey likes both a lot, but probably is more obsessed with the car. We also gave Harvey a big plastic construction site, which I ended up putting together until 10 pm. It was a fun birthday for us all.
