Preface
This post records my peaceful but not boring life over the last two weeks: 2025-06-30-2025-07-06.
Welcome to July! 🎉 But unfortunately, I hate July, because Jult means hot and I get sweaty so easily.
I’ve been swimming more this week because swimming is one of the few sports that can be done in the summer.

Time Value of Money The video explains a concept that a certain amount of money today is worth more than the same amount in the future due to its potential earning capacity.
In China, most children, including myself, are not taught this concept, which is very significant in your life.

Exercise
I played badminton twice and went swimming twice this week.
The summer is so hot. The temperature in Hangzhou is almost 40 degrees Celsius. If you go outside for even 1 minute, you will start sweating.
Bad Things
This week, I had a falling out with my leader. I can't stand him anymore. He is so narrow-minded and stingy.
Now, I'm not worried about it, because I know most of my colleagues and other leaders support me. My mental state has been improving during this year. I won't let it bother me, even though the situation sucks.
Interesting things
Deposit money
We checked the income and outcome of , even though our salary is not high, we saved some money because we were frugal.
We went to deposit money this week. I learned the yearly rate of Dollars is higher than RMB, I am considering if I should exchange more USD.
China is in a period of deflation right now, and I feel reluctant to spend, so all I want to do is save money.
Reading day
We started the first session of the "Reading day" activity. We took turns sharing our thoughts and learning outcomes.
We will continue doing it in the future. It’s a great opportunity to help Maxine develop a reading habit.
