### Afternoon — Volleyball + reset day

Played volleyball for a few hours — really fun, great workout. Went longer than expected.

**Shifting today's plan:** Not going to campus. Going home after a car wash to take care of accumulated life stuff:
- Laundry
- Clean inside of car
- Finish robot arm CAD models (before printing)
- Run more experiments on the computer

**Printing plan:** Go to campus tomorrow (Sat) to print, or worst case Monday. Still on track for Tuesday deadline.

**Evening priority:** Come home early, meditate, collect myself. Feeling burnt out from the week. Need to recharge, not push harder.

### Outstanding todos (carry forward)

- **Call DMV** — registration renewal, overdue for weeks
- **Plan and schedule classes** — need to sort out course enrollment
- **Revisit Airbnb for TRI internship** — look for a better housing option before locking in

### Persian — ChatGPT voice mode working well

Switched from Persian tutor to ChatGPT voice mode as a study guide during car drives. It's been working really well — consistent, convenient, and actually effective. Nice win for language learning without adding schedule overhead.
