1
Moving out today.
2
Goodbye, LA.
3
My new place, let me give you a tour.
4
Right when you walk in, suitcase, suitcase, suitcase, restroom.
5
I like how it's pretty spacious.
6
It's pretty big.
7
And then if you turn over here, guess what?
8
In-unit washer dryer.
9
If you live in SF, you know that's like unheard of.
10
So I was very happy.
11
If you walk over here, it's the kitchen, couch, my desk.
12
The reason why I wanted this place so bad is you get such a nice view.
13
Let me show you.
14
Right outside the window, I get a beautiful view of the beach.
15
Is that not insane?
16
I have yet to go there because it's so cold here.
17
Follow me.
18
Oh, somebody forgot to fold their laundry.
19
And I bought my first plant ever.
20
This is called a Chinese money plant.
21
Hopefully, I make a lot of Chinese money.
22
So this is my whole place.
23
Still moving in.
24
It's a little messy.
25
But I'm happy.
26
I've been in SF for maybe like two weeks now and I honestly don't know how much I've spent, which is kind of concerning.
27
So I thought it would be interesting if this week I just tracked every single dollar I spent.
28
I'm going to be doing it with this app, Acorns.
29
Acorn, they have something called roundups where they round up every purchase you make.
30
So the spare change from that purchase gets invested.
31
If I gave you an example, you spend $2.50, it gets rounded up to $3 and that extra 50 cents gets invested in the background for you.
32
So we're going to spend money, get that spare change invested, and by the end of the week, I'm going to tell you how much I spend in a
33
week as a dental resident follow along good morning we're gonna start the morning off with some coffee
34
taste test that's worth the investment let's go to work
35
i have four or five patients today but we start class at 8 am
36
so we're gonna attend class that goes straight to patient ward
37
and do you think my day's done no we have class
38
at ucsf we have class from 5 30 to 7 30 it's perioprost
39
so heading in i'm so tired lucky me class ends at 7 not 7 30
40
so i get 30 minutes more in my day so we're gonna go home and probably gotta study
41
good morning it's the next day and another day of not knowing what to do.
42
Yay!
43
Another day, another coffee.
44
So 9am and we have class at UCSF in 40-50 minutes so we're gonna head over.
45
So I drove here to UCSF, we have class at 10 but I arrived like 10 minutes early
46
so I'm gonna get a cup of coffee to keep the mind going.
47
Over here, Village.
48
It's delicious!
49
There's a Panda Express across the street.
50
Just got home, it's 9.15.
51
But anyways, we have more papers to read for tomorrow.
52
We have another class called Classic Lit.
53
And basically something you'll realize is the readings I'm doing are basically concepts
54
and textbooks and papers that are the foundation of prosthodontics.
55
So it's very important to understand what exactly you're doing and why.
56
So there's a lot of reading, especially during my first year and every year of residency actually.
57
So it's a lot of reading.
58
I counted and it's almost like on average, 200 pages per week we have to read.
59
And it ain't no romance book.
60
I'll tell you that.
61
There's no kissing.
62
There's no nothing.
63
It's just very boring literature but I do learn a lot.
64
Let's study.
65
Next day, guess where we are?
66
The coffee shop.
67
One thing I am is consistent.
68
Good morning.
69
For the first time in my life, I ended early today.
70
So I ordered food delivery.
71
Thank you.
72
Thank you.
73
Thank you.
74
I think process really interesting because of the types of cases you get.
75
So if you see here, this is one patient, very large ridge.
76
But if you see this patient, also a man, is very narrow and a deep palate.
77
Like my finger like sinks in compared to here.
78
And very small and thin ridge on the bottom.
79
So there's a lot of variability and literally every single patient is different.
80
So you get to learn a lot.
81
It's 8 p.m.
82
We're heading home.
83
I don't know if you could tell, but residency started two weeks ago.
84
and I've lost four or five pounds already.
85
I think it's just because I'm stressed, honestly.
86
Got back home.
87
I'm just reviewing material to see how I could be better next week.
88
But this was my first week of treating patients and it's been really hard.
89
I wonder if other people that did this are as stressed as I am.
90
I wonder if I'm like overstressing myself too
91
because I go into the room and a lot of times I think
92
that I'll be okay and then there's something that hinders me
93
and makes it hard for me to provide the best care
94
that i can i work at a hospital
95
so a lot of my patients are sick all my patients are sick
96
and so now a new factor is introduced into the treatment where i have to make sure to manage them
97
and their systemic issues along with trying to provide good quality dental care
98
and it gets hard it's tricky when And patients can't open their mouth
99
or they can't sit without being leaned back or they can't even sit in the dental chair.
100
And I feel like I just feel frazzled all the time and I feel really incompetent.
101
Mind you, it's only been five days and I'm acting like four days and I'm acting like this.
102
But I just realized how little I know.
103
I don't know if I'm explaining myself well, but I just feel really incompetent and I feel bad.
104
I feel like I'm hindering everyone else.
105
But I think it's like that Asian mindset, you know.
106
I just need to get better.
107
So I'm going to work hard.
108
And hopefully when I watch this video in a year, I look back and I laugh.
109
It's the weekend.
110
I was looking forward to this day so bad.
111
A lot of things to do today.
112
Number one, I'm going to my friend's place and picking up a purchase I made.
113
I'm going to show you what it is and how expensive it was because it was pretty freaking expensive.
114
And after that, we're going to go to Ikea.
115
I bought these at Ikea.
116
I had them in my place but i actually don't like how it looks
117
so we're gonna return it that's basically gonna take like two hours
118
because all these places are really far but you're coming with me
119
so i won't be too lonely here this is her feet right over here what is in here was 423.50
120
which objectively is an insane amount of money for what it is
121
but wanted to show you Chanel just kidding it's a dental waxer how exciting
122
so in dentistry a lot of times before you go through
123
with treatments you have to do wax ups to see how their occlusion is how the crown's gonna look etc
124
and so this is a waxer where you literally dip this in wax
125
and you can wax up a tooth however the reason why this is so cool
126
and maybe why it's 400 something dollars for conventional traditional waxers
127
there's usually one side aka you could just use one pen at a time
128
but for this one there's two sides
129
so you can use two different tips at one time so
130
if you're doing a big bulky wax up you can use one side
131
and then when you're doing adjustments or like small details you can use another waxer
132
so it's very convenient
133
because you don't have to switch waxers to go from one
134
to the other you can just have both on at the
135
same time anything that's dental related I just think of as an investment
136
because it's going to my work better anyway highly recommend i
137
don't recommend i don't think you really need this i think i'm just being extra
138
but i did get this 75 bucks
139
and 69 cents we just made money today now we have no choice
140
but to spend it one thing i do is again keep it consistent
141
so we're at the coffee shop to get coffee
142
i didn't spend any more money after that so i invested three dollars
143
and 54 cents total this week
144
and i also spent a lot of money 657 dollars
145
and 46 cents but we also invested three dollars
146
and 54 cents without changing anything about my day
147
and that's what's cool about roundups it just does it in the background without you having to think about anything
148
so when i showed my screen the first time I had $29.
149
Now I have $36 invested.
150
And the reason is I had some purchases from last week that rolled over.
151
So when I look at the amounts I spent on, it's literally just food.
152
It's all food, food, food, coffee, food, coffee, food, coffee, food.
153
I do need to learn how to cook.
154
I will get better.
155
I feel like this video was a video where I could visibly see how drained I was.
156
And I think it's something that's going to get better.
157
I think everything in the beginning is difficult.
158
Dental school in the beginning wasn't easy either.
159
But regardless, I'm going to say what said in my graduation video I'm gonna have grit
160
and work hard and not give up thank you for watching this video and start investing today with acorns

- Registrati e confronta con l’originale, facendo attenzione a parole come dental, acorn, suitcase.
Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
