ECE people are crazy!  I went to my first class 10 minutes early on Friday morning.  Guess what, there weren't any seat available in the first seven rows!!  It's a good thing that i got my glasses over the summer, otherwise, I wouldn't be able to see a thing on the board.  Still, I'd rather sit in the front, cuz I feel more involved in class and wouldn't fall asleep .

Finally, done with class, and no more struggling in writings, yay!  Just realized that my packing skill is going up, and now everything is done, and i am ready to go home.  The trip is going to be long... and it's always so cold on the plane.  Though i am really tired now, i can't sleep, need to save it for the plane.  ok, i don't think writing is going to keep me up, but i bet i know what will work!  Yes, martial arts novels!

Last day of class, yet first day of working on the final project, and revising for the previous one.  Not a fun day.  I'd rather study for 10 prelims than revising my articles.  well, maybe not 10 .

It's so frustrating when you spend a lot time writing something, but the professor gives you a bad grade.  I really felt like yelling at him, but i contained my anger.   

This class is so messing up my GPA, and I can't do anything about it.  I know a lot of things I can't control, and I have learnt to take everything in.  But I can not control how I feel, and I think I am allowed to be upset about it.

I have lived my life meeting up others' expectations, and I am just sick and tired of it.  Lately, I have been having this impulse to run away.  Imagine travelling around the world, inspired by the great mountains, lakes, and sites. That sounds so good.

If you're out on the road
Feeling lonely, and so cold
All you have to do is call my name
And I'll be there in the next train

Where you lead, I will follow
Anywhere that you tell me to
If you need, you need me to be with you
I will follow where you lead

Have to take a break from writing a paper.  So I have been thinking about what to write for my paper.  The topic is to respond to this article about the struggle between scientists and the government concerning potentially dangerous research.  I didn't know how to write a respond until I asked Jingqing, one of my housemates.

I have to admit that Richard Monastersky wrote a pretty good article, presenting both sides of the arguement. People worry about too much, sometimes.  In one of the publications, scientists created polovirus particles that are capable of paralyzing and killing mice.  The critics say that they are publishing a blueprint for the terrorists.  What are the chances that the terrorists would read that paper and dig into the research and produce certain kind of particles that will kill us all!  Simply getting the scientists to replicate the experiments will cause a lot money! 

I wonder why people always exaggerate the effects of certain things to set people in panic.  Seriously, a lot of science publications are not correct at all.  For example, due to the countless publications of genetic engineered food, I was mislead to believe that most of the vegetables and fruits we are eating are genetic engineered.  Not long ago, I just found out that there are only 4 kinds of food are genetic engineered!!  

I really hope the writers can restrict their words a bit, and stop creating troubles!
