Thinking last year I was hoping the pandemic will end this year, well it didn’t. Delta variant and now the Omicron variant has been sweeping through the globe. The pandemic control here at BC is close to none existent, we’ve seen cases jump from 400 to 2,000 but people still go about their daily lives.
Things has been stressful at EA so I made a decision to leave, was able to make my own luck getting an offer at Microsoft.

2021 is a wonderful year, even I wasn’t able to travel much, I managed to get a lot of things done, now I really hope the pandemic will end this year.

2021 原本计划了很多,如果疫情结束我就可以参加演唱会,回国。但是因为最新的德尔塔变种和最新的欧米克变种继续肆虐,在温哥华这里几乎没看到政府有做什么防疫措施,就算日增2000大家也都是继续放飞自我。我在EA工作也有了两年了,虽说在家工作近期不会有什么改变,但是每次发售新游戏之后的问题让我实在是不能继续接受了。我们所在的EAX部门也经历了几次裁员和改动,就是因为这些大家也都陆陆续续的跳槽离开了。我足够幸运的拿到了微软的面试机会也顺利的拿到了一个SDE2的职位。

之前计划的12本书其实在10月份就完成了(有的时候遇到了喜欢的书几乎几天就看完了),不知道2022的计划会不会增多但是我觉得一年12本书就比较多了,因为有的书很长要一个月读完还是有一些难处的(比如Diplomacy)

减肥继续是一个漫长的战争,经过了很久的菜谱改善加上运动,可算是减到了130以下,准备今年减到120就恢复正常饮食和运动了。看一看如果疫情有好转的迹象就去健身房开始锻炼肌肉了。

今年一年的额外开销蛮多的,游戏和游戏机类的开销加上其他爱好的开销加起来应该是一个挺大的数目,2022年准备减少爱好的开销,主要是DIY和游戏的开销。(估计完成所有Soulsborne这类游戏应该需要花一整年吧)2022年应该不会有什么特殊的游戏和游戏机发售,预定的Steam Deck和Analogue Pocket也都是在Q2 Q4才能到。

2022我准备完成10本书加上尽力完成自己做的一个FPGA项目和一个游戏类的项目,其他的事情就尽力而为吧。(不准备继续考N1了,感觉我现在N2应该就够用了,剩下的时间学习口语吧。)

总之,希望2022疫情可以结束,我也可以回国看看家人,继续我的回国发展的计划。
