For this week, apart from tons of home work, there were some rather depressing periods – the before-goodbye period - …
Why do I always have to be alone ?
...
Let’s see on Monday (the 7th), I stayed at home trying to finish PKG815 for the second round…, every time the knowledge of mom’s leaving in two weeks emerged…I have to spend 10-15 min crying the bathroom, but this wasn’t that bad compared to last time in Canada :P
…
On Tuesday, we had Packaging Graduate Orientation which lasted almost 2 h…then a PKG815 lecture…Dr.Rubino announced to us that the first exam will be postponed to next-next Tuesday :) …did I ever tell you how much I love her ? :P
…
On Wednesday, I was trying to complete PKG802 home work…that’s when I realized it’s not easy enough to finish it in 5 h !!!
...
I started with PKG815’s lecture on Thursday, then its lab. in the afternoon.
Sometimes working with people makes you know them better…not in the positive way though…
That day when I and Prang were scaling the samples, well, I’m always the one who scaling them and Prang’s always there to write the numbers down…we get along on working as a group pretty good :) …
When I and Prang were waiting for other groups to weigh their samples, we saw Ing, one of PhD student and her team using one of the balance that we remembered she didn’t use it last time, so we warn her about that (‘coz we have tested them and found that both balances are different in last digit about 8 point !!)…and guess what ?...she said Oh, it’s OK…you know ?...it doesn’t really matter, We can use both balances.
OK people, I’m a little bit confused here…giving that this person have already got her PhD in CHEMISTRY (!!!) in China and are seeking another degree (PhD in Packaging)…How can she not know this basic rule and skill working in the lab ?
Well, like I told you before, when you met someone who’s higher educated than you, it doesn’t mean that the person is smarter than you…:)
And the higher education one has, normally, the more persistent one become.
…of course, part of it because once we’ve learnt more in something, we feel like we have knowledge in that something more than other people (or maybe other tell us we are expert in that something)…that brings confidence…and sometimes it’s too much :(
…
On Friday around 6 pm, mom and I arrange ‘farewell’ party for mom (?)…we invited every Thai packaging students and also P’Kerk to enjoy ‘Pad-Thai’ and ‘Kaw-Tom-Kerng’ …, so basically, before that time all I did is helping mom prepare the food and type PKG802 home work (it’s 13 pages for the first draft)
…
I spent every min of the weekend and Monday working on PKG802 and PKG815 homework…which I finished them around 3 in the morning of Tuesday (today) :(
…
I had to PKG815 lecture ‘til 11:10 AM this morning and spent a couple of hours in the Mail Library and the rest sleeping…my real day just getting start, people !
:P
