Okay, start of 8th cycle. (April 13th, or the night of April 12th 2019 is the starting of day 1 of 8th cycle.)
Okay, I had a few days of break from the work/conscription as April 9th marked a year. It meant that I needed to use all the remaining vacation days by the 8th. I had three days left, so I used all of them.
A few things I noticed during the break.
1. Apparently, I must exhibit foreigner vibe. Well, I was at locations where there are quite a bit of foreigners, but I still spoke the local language instead of English. I also look pretty local. Still, a waiter at a restaurant thought I was a foreigner. (I explained that I lived abroad for a long time.)
(Also to mention a similar thing, I had a great conversation with women from UAE on one of the break days. Given that I had a very long and sexual talk with a Persian woman while on DMSI, I wonder if I basically connect well with Middle Eastern women. Who knows.)
2. I am continually pushing to increase my skills. This time I am going to do it dramatically. I continue to self-teach programming, and I also plan on honing and expanding math skills. (I had taken up to multi-variable calculus before, but I haven't used math for a long time that I lost all the skills.) So the plan is to do the coding at work, (when I have free time, and this is actually encouraged. Do something meaningful like studying or reading when there is a free time at work.), and do some math during the weekend. Or mix them.
3. Work load --> Well, I mentioned that I want this conscription to go as smoothly and easily as possible, and that includes not having much work at the office. It is happening, and many times, the gov employees don't ask our (I and the other conscript) help. I noticed that the employees would do many of the work by themselves, which they previously asked us to do, or brought us along. Occurrence of such case has been low. Still, I need to see this more to see if it was just random, or it becomes the norm.
4. Continuation of other positive results in general.
Also, I again messed up the 7th cycle two times. First was on the first day as I listened one loop less because I slept too late. (And I needed to go to work the next day, so I simply didn't have enough time to listen to 5 loops.) The second mess up was on the very last day of the cycle. After I came home and had dinner, I was too tired that I crashed and basically woke up the next day. So I basically missed the entire day of the last day of 7th cycle, and I thought well I'm just gonna take another day of break.
Even with the mess up, I still feel and see positive impacts of LTU. In fact, the positive results have just appeared more. It is probably because I have listened to LTU for a while, but I would like to note that even when I mess up the loops and secondary ASRB, I still see positive results.
