I started the month by finalizing my draft for Conext Student workshop.
Let's cross our fingers and hope things work out and that it gets accepted.
Notification should arrive on 25th, and I'd have until 30th to do the camera ready stuff which should be plenty of time.
I did a vacation from 6th until 15th for a total of 10 days by taking 6 days off.
I visited my parents after 13 months(!), and also my brother after more than two years.
We had so much fun!
I did a bunch of sight-seeing in Istanbul, tried out yummy foods and sweets, many different fishes, and snorkled in Antalya.
What a delightful trip it was.
I do have to get used to this as this is the sole way I will most probably see my parents from now on, unless they want to travel to somewhere else or visit me here.
Now that my brother also has his greencard, we can travel together and see eachother more often too!
Surprise surprize, the notification did not come and it's the last day of the month.
Ever since I came back from vacation I tried to catch up with everything, did my ML re-exam, and setup all different cool things I talked about in my blog.
I've been waiting for the notification to get started with the camera-ready process to make sure I have enough time to study for my next and last exam on 7th of October...
Drat!
I will probably do more literature review this last day of the month, and start working on the code base from next month.
I should do a lot more literature review to be caught up with whatever that's been done so far.
My social life has been much more exciting too.
I've been socializing a lot more and have made many new friends.
Some other exciting things have also been hapening that I don't have the courage to write about now. ;)
Buuuuuut... I will probably write about them at some point if things go the way I hope theuy would.
Just remember Wed 24th of September 2025 and Sunday 28th of same month and year. :)
And with that, that's my September in a nutshell.
I will probably start writing through the month and then turn the draft into a post from now on.
That way it would look like a story!
