Back on Your Feet



I'm thankful for loving family and a few close friends that I have..for giving me support and words of advice when needed. I don't ask for much; I mean I don't need hundreds of friends. I want quality friendships and loving relationships, and at least from my family, I know I have that. Knowing that is just the most wonderful and comforting thought ever.

Anyways, going to take it easy, in the sense that I'll try not to let the pressure get to me. And I'm not giving up, don't worry (mom hehe). Never a quitter. Press on in the lab! But it's not a stupid stubbornness don't worry. If a way doesn't work, absolutely doesn't work, I'll know to drop it and think of some new way. That's being scientific right?

The pic above, btw, shows our doggy absolutely tired out from a mountain climb, or a version of it. Apparently after the walk up the mountain he just completely melted to the ground in exhaustion. Some hunting dog! More philosophizing from the phil, knowing how to and to definitely get back up though, that's the key.

This weekend sucks!

After all, in my heart NYC is still my home. This weekend is Fall Break. Unfortunately for me, the weather is bad so I probably can't go hiking, and then my boss told me Thursday that we have work to do over the weekend. Right now I am busy testing the microwave/rf generators for our quantum dot gate pulsing. We need to make sure that we can maintain the pulse form sent down to the sample with minimal distortion, reflection, attenuation and loss. This is made particularly difficult due to the size of our metal gates (which I made), on the order of 100 nm or less in width and less than 20 nm in thickness. S...

September 11, 2001

It's been a few years, and how things have changed. Or have they? I wrote this email shortly after the events of September 11, 2001 to family and a few friends. I thought I'd put it up here, I'm not sure why now, but it just felt like something I'd like to do (it seems I forgot to capitalize letters or even put in apostrophes back then). Sept 11 2001 our lives will never be the same. yesterday we witnessed the destruction of two american symbols of power: our military might and economic prowess. i woke up early yesterday, expecting to continue the routine of going to classes and such, happy that i had begun the day so early and hoping to accomplish much. i headed for pupin at around 940 to talk to a prof about taking a graduate level class, cheerful and optimistic knowing that i would be challenging myself with the courses i chose this semester. i finally realized something was wrong when i reached his office and saw him looking out the window, the sky covered wi...
