# Quynh's # Homework for Life <!-- Link to slide https://hackmd.io/@quynhle/BkaLXg_Qt#/ --> [quynhtle.com](https://quynhtle.com/) --- Hello, my name is Quynh. --- I'm doing Homework for Life, mentioned in the book [Storyworthy](https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/37786022-storyworthy) by Matthew Dicks. --- Basically, I will write down 1 story/day. That's it! Let's begin! --- #### September 22, 2021 Begin reading Storyworthy on Audible. <img src=https://i.imgur.com/PJgbVxP.png alt="storyworthy" frameBorder="0" width="600"/> --- #### September 23, 2021 Working from home is much more enjoyable when you have your mom around. Traditional Vietnamese food is the best. <img src=https://i.imgur.com/m2mUSN1.jpg alt="banhbotloc" frameBorder="0" width="500"/> --- #### September 24, 2021 There are some unpolite comments on women shown up on a presentation I've attended today. Sadly, people are not highly aware of all the gender inequality and sexual harassment problems here in Vietnam. I'm slowly making some impact to hopefully change it. --- #### September 25, 2021 Have some good lectures on AI in Healthcare from Coursera today. Weekend learning is fun!  --- #### September 26, 2021 Math drills are fun! <img src=https://i.imgur.com/KunYYud.jpg alt="mathdrill" frameBorder="0" width="500"/> --- #### September 27, 2021 Stressed out due to an upcoming test but thankfully [Phuoc Hieu](https://hieultp.github.io/) sent me [this](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCe7XyNOSD4qyBAoNyFNxc8g) to boost my mood up! <img src=https://i.imgur.com/Dae4ZL6.jpg alt="7uppercut" frameBorder="0" width="700"/> --- #### September 28, 2021 [,](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06T6phEF5k8) --- #### Semtember 29, 2021 Finally finished with the test. Although the performace was not as good as I expected, I truly enjoyed the test prep journey. --- #### September 30, 2021 Last day of the 4-month long lockdown in Hochiminh City. Another new year's eve of the year! <img src=https://i.imgur.com/TfUrPb2.jpg alt="removebarrier" frameBorder="0" width="700"/> --- #### October 1, 2021 It's been a long time since I last got a Stanford-branded certificate from Coursera! Hope to explore more research directions on the healthcare space. <img src=https://i.imgur.com/H0Y1XQ3.jpg alt="aihealthcare" frameBorder="0" width="500"/> --- #### October 2, 2021 Be grateful everyday for being in this room of light. <!--  -->  <!-- https://giphy.com/embed/HyftfPvoILSMqAhwpd --> <!-- <iframe src="https://giphy.com/embed/HyftfPvoILSMqAhwpd" width="600" /> --> <!-- <iframe src="https://giphy.com/embed/HyftfPvoILSMqAhwpd" width="600" height="500" frameBorder="0" class="giphy-embed" allowFullScreen></iframe><p><a href="https://giphy.com/gifs/HyftfPvoILSMqAhwpd"></a></p> --> --- #### October 3, 2021 Saigon has been reborn! <img src=https://i.imgur.com/02nNO8T.jpg alt="saigon" frameBorder="0" width="600"/> --- #### October 4, 2021 Do some planning on the first Monday of the last quarter of the year. Fingercrossed. --- #### October 5, 2021 The journey to get my first AI paper is long. <img src=https://i.imgur.com/tSkFutA.png alt="rejection" frameBorder="0" /> --- #### October 6, 2021 Words of wisdom from [Steal Like an Artist](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/13099738-steal-like-an-artist) <img src=https://i.imgur.com/Ny6wDPD.png alt="steallikeanartist" frameBorder="0" width="600"/> --- #### October 7, 2021 Some Vietnamese media outlet translates "she has lost a friend to online conspiracy theories" as "her friend died", but I've read on another news source that "she has lost a friendship". Would this be the Vietnamese media outlet's mistake as they didn't check the piece of info thoroughly? Or apparently "lost a friend" could mean "the friend died". --- #### October 8, 2021 Check out Fonos today - kind of like the Vietnamese Audible. Reading time is the best. <img src=https://i.imgur.com/S75TsTI.png alt="steallikeanartist" frameBorder="0" height="400"/> --- #### October 9, 2021 Join an Ask-Me-Anything session today.

Grateful for being in such a professional and talented research group. --- #### October 13, 2021 A pretty low day. Being uncertain. --- #### October 14, 2021 Just receive an incentive gift card for attending a qualitative study recently.
