The mornings are getting darker and I am waking up later these days. The air is chill and its refreshing to run outside. I don’t feel sleepy after my breakfast, so I think the morning routine of today was successful. I want to have this everyday, so I will be more focused on my condition rather than pursuing the efficiency of the routine. The reading was okay, but I need better understandings on the material. Reading speed reflects the level of understandings, so I am beginning to think that this can be used as a benchmark of how much I understand the new subject. Therefore, the thing I have to focus on now is to speed up my reading and read a lot until I reach the pace that I can read comfortably. It is often the case that we are not sure about how much we understand certain things, but I believe if I feel my reading is speedy enough, I can be confident that I understand the subject well.
