Just got the 'go-ahead' signal I need to commence purchasing for my new test bed. Finally I can start getting my hands dirty on building it.
The head of the department just sent an e-mail to everyone about voluntary Mid-Term Reviews. With the new ANU rules, a PhD student doesn't need to do such a review. We've only got something called a Bi-Annual Study Plan which is only a few pages and doesn't really provide much details as well as something called a 'Thesis Proposal Review' submitted at the end of the first year, which only poorly mimics the real thing. So a couple of students actually volunteer to do a Mid-Term Review, which usually includes submitting a report about 80 pages outlining the introduction, papers written as chapters and future chapters, making a one-hour seminar and taking comments and questions from reviewers as well as a short interview with possible your supervisory panel.
I am actually considering that.
Just got word that my parents are in Shandong for a short one-week holiday. My eldest brother has left his previous firm and is currently starting his own architecture firm. I so glad for him.
My second elder brother is somewhere in France, I think, doing a couple of weeks in Europe travelling before starting work in NUS in August.
I am currently waiting for my Nokia 7710 to be checked and software upgraded. Geez... been waiting for eternity to use it. Well, at least i've got the box of shit, except the handset.
I've been living like a hermit lately without doing anything interesting. Hmm... might go for a swim later or maybe watch a movie tonight.
