Time goes so fast

My targets at the beginning of the semester:
    1. make my high school belle love me (feel like 90%)
    2. score A in courses ✔️
    3. keep making minecraft server every week (60%)❌
    4. learn coding everyday (20%)❌
    5. find an internship in summer❌
    6. study for English vocabulary everyday (5%)❌
    ... other plans are added during the semester

Looks bad, right? But I'll take that. Most of the crushes among students remain memories, but I have an opportunity to turn it into a reality. I think that I am the most lucky boy in the world. 

This semester is about to finish. Time goes so fast. All recent planning are going to the end, and new plans are coming out. Throughout this semester, my spoken English gets a lot better; my mindset has grown; my time management is still worse. People always say that learning programming takes a year. Time goes so fast. If I persistently learned coding for an hour at 7am everyday, I might have been on the halfway to succeed, but I didn't. I regret about that. I wish I could do everything when I was sleeping.

short-term plans: 4/22 Access exam; 4/29 Outlook exam

Microsoft Expert, Let's Go!!!

I was always thinking: How I could be more hardworking in studying?

The only time I felt that I was so hardworking was when I played LoL for 6 hours a day, considering I left school at 4:30 pm and 12 hours a day in holiday. It was not really so fun when you play a game for very long time every day. 3 years later, I reached the diamond rank. The strong desire pushing me to play LoL day by day to see myself to be in the high ranking. 

Maybe one of the reason why the game was so addictive to me was that I could see my improvement in ranking everyday. In reality, our improvement could be seen very slowly, compared to virtual world. Sometime it takes 3 months; sometime it takes years. I figured out the way to make me more diligent is to get the sweet of seeing the better oneself. Microsoft Expert? sounds sweet!  

PS:I was the top 1% LoL Player in 2017, Ivern main 
(professional players would be the top 0.03%)

Why people make a black-and-white spreadsheet?

Would you be willing to read through tons of data in a black-and-white spreadsheet? It looks tedious to me. If I were told to do so, I would probably end up playing games all day and then replying with a message like "Well done! Nice spreadsheet!" without actually reading it. I believe that every spreadsheet needs a template or theme. A colorful spreadsheet can become a shining star among black-and-white spreadsheets, which can increase people's willingness to read it. But of course, in the workplace, as an accountant or a clerk, acknowledging that you are doing something that no one want to read, you can just make black-and-white spreadsheets and people will give you a big thumb.
