Chicago One Day Trip Dec 11 2008
Destiny: Taipei Economy and Culture Office (in the Prudential building)
Sky is blue and shinny sunny, but air is chilly ~~
Time to find public parking and walk to the building: about 20 min?
Time to process the documents: less than 10 min
Thanks to smart KY to call them first :D
KY took out BigGG.
Worked hard to get pretty photo.
(Pigeon said, welcome to my home; photo shooting is free.)
Street architecture: Big bird cage.
Food court beside Whole Grain Supermarket
九八八海鮮之台灣小吃: 筒仔米糕,蚵阿煎,糯米腸
老闆說他們是彰化人,所以下次應該可以點他們的肉圓試試

I pass my qual today, it's your turn to pass, my dear
You came to cheer me up before my qual exam started.
Although I kept saying you should leave then but you didn't, I was so touched and really really appreciated your showing up from my deep heart.
Now I passed; feel a little bit relief but start to worry about the next exam.
I am so nervous, ain't I, huh.
Anyway, to keep working hard for both of us, cheers.
To summarize what I got from committees:
Committees were nice to me:
When one committee asked questions and I may be answering in the wrong direction or misunderstanding the question, the other committee was trying to keep me in the right track; helping me to clarify the question so I wasn't going off too far.
This is good and also bad for me, cuz not every time I can have some other person to help me.
There are some good suggestions about immediate analysis (mFold, Northern...) to do to help making more publishable data.
One committee would think for me about the outside competition or how much work I need/can do.
A suggestion from David before the day of the exam: calm down to make sure I got clear what the question is; there's a strategy to repeat the question and make sure I understand it.
I think I did to repeat the question to prevent mistakes in the exam.
The logic of my first aim is wrong or risky; I need work on this more (or work from miR array list more):
The data I have right now can't be convinced that I can work on as a RNA biologist;
I guess one committee was angry that I didn't at least get Northern work in these six months.
Worthy to test zenk/mir by luciferase assay.
Keep working on improving my English.

Something in my mind wanted to share with you (Apr 2008)
04/19/2008
You get the beautiful tulips for me.
04/21/2008
You comfort and encourage me when I'm frustrated.
But if to reverse our roles, I'm worried I can't be as good as you.
