Time flies, it's almost two months into the summer. The PSU professor whom I faithfully worked for the past two years lost a couple of big grants and fired me early last month. Even if he hadn't told me to leave, I would still look for another job because he had nothing for me to work on. The small company just has horrible management system, and I ( Read more... )

When was the last time I had an update? As a lazy punk, I guess just ( Read more... )

I have not updated my journal for quite a while now. This is mainly because the school became much busier for the past two weeks. My depleting stamina simply did not give me the drive to write any more. Just this evening I took the last of the first batch of midterms in physics. I did fairly well; it was not as callous as I had expected. How ironic ( Read more... )

I think I am addicted to Live Journal lately. Well, it's a journal so I guess I should update it often. I am too lackadaisical to write a well-thoughtout entry today so I am just going to post a few photographs of my surroundings during my first days at OSU

It was the best of the times, and it was the worst of the times. Somehow the first week of college life seemed to me like a month in summer time. I had ups and downs during the seven days, still adapting to my new environment ( Read more... )

Ever listened to MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) files before? When I was cleaning up my hard drive today, I came across an old program that I used to watch, listen, and make MIDI files call Anvil Studio. Even though qualities of music from MIDI output are really cheesy, it can play some simple tunes and takes up minimal space. MIDIs ( Read more... )

Overall, my first day of experience in college had been alright. The first class I had in the morning was Physics 212. The instructor was kind of high on coke, he jumps around and yells at people to demonstrate the power of FORCE. The whole class kind of just ignored him, because he just handed out class syllabus and rambled on forever about his ( Read more... )

I came home yesterday morning from Corvallis for a dental appointment. There are not many activities going on at Oregon State University for the rest of the week, so I won't miss anything important. Well, dorm life is amusing and entertaining (and the foods in the cafe down stairs are decent too). But after spending the night in Clackamas again, I ( Read more... )

I moved into McNary Hall of OSU campus yesterday morning. I didn't have too much belongings to take to the dorm, so everything I brought fit quite well in the back of the trunk. The transfer of my stuff from my car to the room went all smoothly, too. I settled everything, on my part, within twenty minutes (of course, that doesn't include the trip ( Read more... )

Thursday was the last day at my work; I was too lazy to go to work yesterday. Even though this summer has been the most boring one for me in years for I just worked at PSU and did nothing else, I learn many skills and knowledge from my co-workers nonetheless. Besides the electronics concepts I managed to grasp during the short period of time, my ( Read more... )
