This past yearWant to have this entry for such a long time... Thought the Fall quarter is the busiest ever.... turned out Spring is the real limit~~ research, music, teaching, HKSA, can feel that this is for sure my physical limit~ Luckily, I think this is worth it. Did have a lot of achievements. 1.5 journal papers, another 1 ready in a month, another invited paper, finally got to do experiments and possibly have yet another paper. I am satisfied => My Sax is really better than ever. Turns out I just need to be more self disciplined. But I haven't practice since early June... hum... hopefully I can keep that up over the summer... might not need 3 times a week like during the school term, probably need 1 or 2...again, I really don't wanna lose it. Did get what I want to achieve as a P of HKSA. Surprisingly, I actually did feel that ppl do respect me occasionally, something I didn't expect. Learn a lot of stuff. Didn't regret my decision to take this position. This is probably the best year in my life in terms of accomplishments. But career/school success is not everything, and does not necessarily make u happy. Life's complicated, just gotta live it to the fullest... Job hunting is starting in 4 months. This is the final push for my research, and summer is the most critical time. I am still not totally ready to be a real-estate or insurance agent or selling mutual funds on the streets, but I am taking steps to mentally prepare myself for that. Let's see how it goes. Wish me luck~ Stuff that I want to get eventually may be a lot different than what I think, and I might be making stupid decisions... |
