+Today is August 13th, 2025, otherwise known as judgment
+day. Just kidding, but today I have my meeting with Dan
+about my topic ideas. I feel anxious, but pretty good in
+general. I saw Dan this morning and he seems to be in good
+spirits. I can do this!
+
+My eye doctor appointment was also today. The results? My
+prescription is pretty much the same. I also do not have
+glaucoma it looks like. Doc was surprised I wear glasses at
+all, figuring the binocular detriment of glasses in my case.
+Honestly, he's right, I should wear contacts more often.
+I'll try to make a point to do that. Now that I have this
+new prescription, I can get on ordering more contacts from
+Costco. Dr. Clermont also recommend to try and stay around
+twelve hours of usage a day to minimize hydration issues. He
+said pushing 16 some times is okay. 12 hours would be 7-7
+(duh), while 16 would be 7-11pm. We also discussed LASIK,
+and he said honestly I'd be a great candidate. He gave me a
+note with a number to call.
+
+Today is also our group meeting. Apparently it's a
+'standup' now. 
+
+## Personal 
+
+Personally I'm doing pretty okay. I'm trying to focus on
+framing things in a more positive way. I think it is working
+somewhat; there's moments where things click in a way I
+don't feel as anxious about. 
+
+On the lady front, I finally hit app-burnout. I was reading
+a text and the typos just made me angry. Like, c'mon, read
+your message! This isn't rational, however, as any number of
+things can create a typo and it really isn't a big deal.
+There's no reason I should get so frustrated at something so
+small like that.
+
+Anyways, here's the roster and relevant updates:
+
+**Miranda**:
+Miranda is cool and I like her a good bit. She's funny,
+seems somewhat interested in me, and is a great time to be
+around. That being said, I need to be careful. I'm getting
+somewhat infatuated with her but there isn't really a super
+strong connection there yet. This is one that I need to
+really step off the brakes with and see how things develop.
+She is going on vacation with her family next Friday, and
+then going solo camping after that. Then, I'm really going
+to try and let her set something up.
 
-Yesterday I finished my thesis ideas! Hooray! It feels
-really good to actually have some writing finished. Today,
-I'm making a model for a simple heat exchanger in python.
-Then, I'm going to train a physics informed neural network
-on it and start fucking with parameters.
