I haven't been watching anime lately because I've been swamped with schoolwork (however this weekend I'm going home so I'm going to finish up a few series and start few new ones that are coming out right now). On the other hand, some interesting events regarding my lab work have come up which are worth noting.
First off is that I received a Fellowship award of 5000$ just for submitting a filled out application and a one page BSed paper on what I'm doing in my lab already (although its supposed to be what I'm supposed to be doing during the summer...) Consequently I never thought of this as THAT big of a deal, I mean, ok, 5000$ means my parents can pay 5000$ less on me and my school fees, if not needed now, then in the future. :p However, my lab director made an incredibly big deal out of it and got my entire lab excited over my award. I've been thinking on why he might be so happy about it, and I think has to do possibly with the fact that the lab also recieves 2000$ into the research account to "support my project" :x. Well, all's good and well in the lab, and as long as everyone else is happy, I can feel happy too. :p
Secondly, I'm presenting at a public Undergraduate Symposium at USC tomorrow. Outside. In the Sun. For 2 hours (would have been 3 if I didn't have class). So I will probably be waiting outside feeling dumb and hoping no one asks me a question about my poster which I don't know the answer to... that would be embarrassing... well I'm not sure, consequently we'll have to see how tomorrow goes. In the (highly unlikely) event that people from USC read this blog, if you wish to inquire me of my research which I supposedly have extensive knowledge on, check out the symposium, located in front of the Trojan statue in USC.
...I am definitely looking forward to the weekend where I can relax and watch anime the entire day. :(
