The new playboy bunny look below...what do you think?
We lost all matches at the Trischool games; we played with heart but that's not enough to win. Next time we'll be better practiced.
Sunday was an event packed day: first the games, then dancing, then speed dating, then homework! After the games I was already nearly drained; my legs were near cramping and that made learning salsa and then swing all the harder. Still I wouldn't miss dancing; I'd go even if I was in a wheel chair. I was also really hungry since I had basically eaten only some veges earlier before the games. That was remedied with a delicious beef noodle stew and shiaolongbaos that I wouldn't mind having again.
Then speed dating. I was convinced to go by a friend, and though initially reluctant, it was pretty fun! Basically you have eight minutes to have a conversation with a girl (eight in a night) that was prearranged by the sponsors based on how you answered a questionnaire. All participants are assigned a number, and we circle the number of the person we are interested in on the card given to us. At the end cards are returned, and if there's a match, i.e. girl circled boy's number and boy circled girl's, then the sponsors provide each with the other's contact info. I did circle a few, but I don't think I'd date any of the girls I met, to be honest. Even if I wanted to I haven't gotten there contacts, and I don't expect to. I'm rather picky...you know, she has to be cute or at least I have to think so, and I need to know her more or better. There has to be more than just the physical attraction, which is obviously important. I really value having deep conversations and sharing interests and though we may not necessarily agree on issues or have the same kind of passions or hobbies or group of friends, I want to be exposed to those things because I am just curious by nature and I enjoy that person's companionship. Most of the participants don't really fit the first bill already haha. My friend responds, "C'mon why you have to be so picky!" My answer: cause you might have to see her everyday, might as well find someone you want to see!
Anyways, experiment is not going well. We are still unable to do charge detection, and that's made for a pretty rough day...when you, the postdoc AND your boss are frustrated. Still I am lucky to be working for my advisor, cause although he can get angry, (not often at me though, more at the postdoc) he's a good advisor. I really appreciate learning from him how to approach problems and think of a way to solve it.
