Today was just a regular day, not really good, I guess. Morning started slow, but I had to wake up earlier than usual. I don’t know exactly what happened in the morning, but there was some family argument. My aunt woke me up, telling me, "Wake up, it's 7:30!" like another mom 😂. Honestly, I liked it haha.
Since today is Saturday, as interns, we are supposed to work, but permanent employees have the day off. So, we just pretended to be working 😂. We simply clocked in and out on the attendance app and replied to emails if needed. Basically, no real work today.
In the morning, as usual, I had a meeting with my friend and colleague. It wasn’t really work-related; we just exchanged new things like tweets, articles, and random discussions.
In the afternoon, I had a good nap. Later, I went for a walk and was about to reach my step goal, but I got a call from a senior dev. He had fixed the hotfix we were working on yesterday and wanted me to retest it. So, my friend and I joined the meeting and retested everything.
After that, we both started thinking about moving into source code review as well. We had some doubts about understanding the code flow, so we asked the senior dev, and he was really nice—he explained everything clearly. It was a good learning session.
Later, I got a message from my sister in the UK. She told me she is COVID positive and today is her 4th day of quarantine. I don’t know exactly what’s wrong, but something feels off. She and I are more than just siblings; we’re best friends. We used to talk about everything, even silly things. She has always been so supportive of me, and I really care about her.
But for the last 3-4 weeks, she hasn't been opening up to me properly. I know there have been some family issues recently, and I feel like she might be feeling alone or like no one cares. I just wish I could do something, but since I don’t have any contacts in the UK, I can’t check in on her directly. I love my sister a lot, and she is also a big part of our family's support system. I just want to make sure she’s okay.
Well, anyway, today’s step count: 5,740. Total steps so far: 81,385.
