surprisingly, some people complain about the lack of update on this blog, including my own dad. it's rather disturbing when you get an email from your dad with a short message saying "you haven't been blogging, what happened?"; it gives you the same vibe as "are you still alive?"
well, to my own surprise, i am still alive and kicking (or being kicked, either way works). my teacher used to say that no matter how busy you are, you have to stop and smell the roses. i still smell the roses, even though everytime i do i have to snatch a bunch from the garden and smell it while i walk from one place to the other.
before gradschool started, i thought of making a short comic everyday to give everyone an update on how things are. well, now that it has started for two whole weeks, i guess it should give you a hint on how things are, considering that not a single comic has been produced in the past two weeks. school is so busy i barely have time to doodle in class. one time i even had to FORCE myself to stop taking notes and doodle something on a notebook page, next to a derivation of the lagrangian, just to re-assure myself that i still know how to doodle.
i think the x-gloves are the coolest thing ever.
i took the initiative to talk to one of my professor and joined a research group. bad move. when they told the incoming grads that first year should be used to focus on classes, they weren't lying. i ended up joining the superkamiokande calibration group at UCI and almost instantaneously got assigned to live in the basement, in the middle of electronic equipments and a gazillion rolls of cables. there is also set-up with a photomultiplier tube that has a potential of 1800 volts that i have to avoid to make sure i don't end up dead. i call this set-up "ENERU" just because everytime i look at it, i am reminded of the time when eneru shocked the bejeezus out of skypiea.
i'm still functional, too, just so you know. i can still draw an eEC+a:
and i can still draw some gay.
