Some recent thoughts (August 09)

Busy... seems like the only word I always use to describe my life. lol... I think people are tired of hearing that word from me.

At the end of August, I attended the MSMBB post-conference symposium. After looking at the programme and speaker list, there's no way I can miss this. I was right. Not only did I gain so much knowledge, it's a nice break from my busy life for a couple of days. It gives me new ideas and directions on my work. When I interact with other researchers, I feel very excited about the new things i can do. Enthuasiasm is contagious. I took the advice of the organizer to go home, think about what I wanna do next and write it down. Suddenly, I feel that those few days are so well-spent.

So next time you feel like you can't breathe or what my housemate call "living everyday like a photocopy machine", just take a break to attend a seminar or conference. Go home, think, and write a note.
