I'm back! I have not abandoned this place. But I've been absent for so long that I'm not even going to try to fill in all the gaps. I put some photos in this post which somewhat track my activities, acrroding to Google Album.
Well, it's my place, so I get to do whatever I want :)
Since the beginning my second year at UCLA, which is where I left off from my last post "Lost in West LA", much has happened. 2017 is probably the most eventful year of my life.
Now I'm an old gilded third year at the end of the Winter quarter. I have the option of finishing Spring quarter with a 180 lab, notorious 18L and useless 105B, and then graduate. But I'm not...
I'm going to stick around and graduate as a Bruin centennial. Mainly because my scholarship program has funding for me for one more year and that I want to stay in current lab to do more research.
Next few weeks are projected to be busy, as usual. Next up on my agenda is to host the first PAULI meeting, an undergraduate journal club that I'm starting with a friend. Asides from a 114 Polymer Physics journal presentation and 180F Particle Lab final report coming up, I'm due to present at a symposium at UCSB, which means I get to go home, so that will be nice.
As said, here are some representative or random photos from May 2017 to Jan. 2018, in reverse time order (latest first):
