Sorry for not blogging here again! I've been really busy for the whole week. But finally, I handed in the final draft of my research
We went to a lunch cruise on Seneca Lake today. The weather was really nice today. I hope it's not going to rain on graduation day :). We also took a lot of pictures around the campus today in our caps and gowns (and looking stupid XD). The gowns have shoulder pads! They look so awful Picture time..... Can you guess which one is me? :D On the boat ------>

I asked my supervisor whether he minds working with me next year again. And he said that he's pleased to hear that I'm thinking of continuing the project :D. So I guess I'll be working on two research projects next year - one on molecular clouds and star formation, the other one on galaxy simulation.
I found this photo of a very cool escalator on Deviant Art. Isn't that interesting? I also like the contrast of light and shadow in this photo :). I was also looking at this site of common errors in English last night. I didn't know that it's wrong to say "I go to school everyday"! I'm supposed to say "I go to school every day". *is ashamed* ------>

I just gave the semi-final draft of my research paper to my supervisor. He said that he's very pleased with my first draft and he wants a copy of the final draft when it's done so that he can show to other people :D. I'm relieved to know that he found it to be a satisfactory piece of work, because the last thing I want to do is to disappoint him. He's definitely one of, if not the best and the nicest professors I ever had. I still have to meet with him one more time next Monday. Normally I would have already left for Hong Kong by that time because all exams finish this Friday, but this year I'm staying here until May 27 for the commencement ceremony.
We're going to watch Star Wars this Saturday ------>

Get well soon, Kit (and your gran). I have low blood pressure too, therefore I can't stand still for too long or I'll faint
Tsua, actually I think you're right. Most college students are insane XD. I'm not that normal myself anyways. Well well, I guess I'll have fun in grad school, if I'm not bored to death in Ithaca after 2 more years. Still working on the final draft of my research ------>

I was talking to my cousin in Hong Kong on ICQ yesterday, and we were saying how we used to call Darth Vader "the guy with the upside-down smile" XDD. And no, we aren't big Star Wars fans, but well, everyone knows Darth Vader XD. Little Anakin in TPM is so cute though, can't imagine him falling in love with the queen and becoming Darth Vader later. It's kind of disturbing

I just found another Japanese site with some very good Harry Potter fanart. I especially like this one of James, this one of Remus (it's called "sleeping beauty" XD) and this one of Sirius (right after he escapes from Azkaban). This Hermione with Crookshanks is pretty cute too

When I went to the Space Sciences Building to meet with my supervisor last week, I saw a poster of the CONTOUR spacecraft launch countdown on the first floor. I was looking at the astronomy department website just now and found that the faculty members actually organized a tour for it. So that's the idea of having fun for astro profs

I found the link to this Harry Potter fanfic from DrMM's blog. I don't normally read Harry/Draco because they're usually boring and cliche, and I'm not a big fan of Ferret Boy
Dumbledore: I've arranged for the astronomy tower to be equipped with a bed. I even put some satin sheets on it myself. I always wonder why the astronomy tower is such a popular place for nighttime snogging session in HP fics. Are observational astronomy classes at Hogwarts held during daytime or something? ------>

My neighbour was talking to me yesterday. He told me that 80% of the grad students here have mental problems according to the statistics of our health centre

I'm done with philosophy! I only studied for 6 hours, can you believe it? I basically skipped the whole book of Nicomachean Ethics. It's probably ok since I'm only S/U-ing the class. While I like philosophy and I do think that Aristotle (although he thought that Earth was the centre of the universe) is a very smart guy, I'd rather read some books on my own than taking a class. Writing papers is not the most enjoyable activity for me
I received a graduation present from Rara (whom I've known since 10th grade in Toronto and we're going to the same college) yesterday. She said that she couldn't wait to give it to me because she wanted to see how excited I am :D. It's a slate pendulum! Isn't that cool? We went to see Amélie in the Willard Straight Hall Cinema last night. It's such a cool movie! Very eccentric, but funny and kinda sweet :). I like the main character, she's so weird XD. Amaru-kun is being a very productive skinner recently :D. And what? You mean that Momiji skin is a "obligatory fanservice skin"? It's so nice though! Well, Z-kun, I'm using my "wonderful and soothing" layout now XD. I hope you're out of your bad mood by now. Kit, of course I wouldn't mind more Snapey vs. fluffy monster stuff :D. They can probably cheer me up from my pre-graduation depression. And of course you'd get to keep your job! Bird, I like Maschine Zeit the song, or the chorus part of it. Haven't listened to the album nor Nuclear Winter though. I haven't heard VNV Nation either, but I'll definitely try downloading some of their songs later Tsua, I hope you're feeling better now :(. I'm glad that you like the new look. Yi, don't thank me. Your skin site definitely deserve recognition ------>

Ok, I have a philosophy exam tomorrow morning. I haven't been catching up on the reading since the midterm in March and I only managed to read two chapters this afternoon, but I just came back from luthien's place watching Star Wars TPM
And kiddo Anakin is cute ------>
<------
I really want to go to the Arecibo Observatory in Puerto Rico after watching Contact. The antenna is 300 m in diameter, and according to my book, it's large enough to hold all the beer drunk on Earth in a year
------>

I found Yi-san's new Winamp skin site last week. It's still quite small currently (not that my own skin site is that much bigger
