It's been a while since I've posted and I might as well summarize what's been going on in my life for the last few months.
Research/Graduate School wise
I had a pretty tough Spring semester. I usually stayed up in the lab until 12 midnight to 2 a.m., came in to work for weekends and have to juggle 100+ things at the same time. When I look back, it was pretty insane. But what really made it hard was the failures and disappointments. There was a time when I really muddled up my professor's account and got him pretty mad at me. And until today, I could never forget his words, "To date, you're the worst graduate student I ever had." It's pretty amazing how such simple words could have such a devastating impact in my confidence.
It took me a while to get over it. I had to remind myself that God would love me even if I was the worst person in the world. I try to put that behind me, to be honest, I have forgiven but I have not forgotten. Is that a bad thing, not to forget? Anyway, I got my research proposal out to my committee group and I'm glad to say that they approved it. I finally the light at the end of the tunnel, I will graduate! Now, if only that last experiment didn't fail and give me terrible unreproducible results. Sigghh...life goes on.
Manga/CAA
I started on a new story, which is actually a side story of KCome. It's gonna be 5 chapters long so I know how it's gonna end. Yeah! I realized that the only thing that pushing me forward in this mangakaing is really just..my faith. I'm very happy doing this (only wished I had more time)and if I could make a difference, then all I have to thank for is God. I'm still working with Chloe on her stories (so glad she's patient and kind with me ^^;;;;) and I've been getting good ideas from various members of CAA. I must admit, I've never been so fond of a bunch of ppl, whom I haven't even seen face to face.
I should start blaming Chloe and Vyse for getting me into chatting. Vyse for MSN. And Chloe for AIM. I rarely chat and I've always believed that it's a waste of time. However, I got to know a whole bunch of these cool bishie-loving young girls from CAA, Lynx, Ducky, and Mikas through these chatrooms Vyse always creates. I feel blessed and am very happy to have gotten to know them. I'm currently thinking of making a manga about their life testimonies. ^____^ I've learnt a lot from chatting with this group and found that well, chatting isn't such a bad thing, after all.
I really ought to go to work. Later.
