This week is the first week without cooking beans, so I thought I'll have a lot more time to do other things. But lots of things and events come up and it's hard to concentrate...
Undergraduate students' research symposium - our three undergrads are presenting! They worked very hard including during spring break. It's very hard to juggle coursework and research. They are taking 3-4 classes, so it may be more difficult to do than grad students with less classes. Good luck to them! Listening to them practicing reminded me of my undergraduate research, which was a decade ago (!). I've come a long way, since then. I know what I'm doing.
The company we work with has a man that's really good at drawing. His figures of their mill by hand drawing are amazing!
Pickled Napa cabbage with chili and garlic. Yum yum.
There was an interesting quote in a conference room, so I took a photo of it. To experience something is one of the best ways to understand it, but we can't always do that. What one person can experience is quite limited; that's why we read books to know from others' experiences.
I need to worry about funding again. It's such a tight budget we need to live on. University faculty isn't an easy job. I wish there were funding for at least a year or two so that I won't have to look for funding every semester. It's quite a lot of work to apply for grants and fulfill the responsibilities that come with the grant money. A couple more semesters and I want to be done with this!
ひっさしぶりの煮熟しないでいい週、いろいろ解析できるーと思ったらいろんなことが舞い込みすぎてもう木曜が終わってしまったーー
学部生の研究発表が明日なので今日は予行。研究内容をまず理解するのに時間かかるし、グラフ作成とかも初めてなことが多いのではないかしら…よく頑張ってます。ちょうど10年前（えー）の自分の学部時代の研究を思い出した…… 手探りでしたわ。皆どれくらいで自分で研究を進められるようになるんだろう。
共同研究先の人の絵が上手すぎる。
日本からの支援物資、朝鮮漬けの素が大活躍中。白菜は Napa cabbageとして売り出されている。菜っ葉、から来ているのか？？
面白い格言発見。人は、読むことで10%、経験することで80%を理解する、とある。ふむ。読むことが効率悪くても、世の中のすべてを自分自身で経験できるわけではないから、他の人の経験を読むことで学べるんだと思う。
また資金探しをしないといけない時期が来た〜〜 一年ごととかならまだしも、毎学期だと面倒ですね…… 大学院に受け入れてもらえた時点で、資金はある、ってことだと思っていたのだけど…。 すごい自転車操業。しかも資金をもらったらもらったで、いろんな義務が発生するのでいろいろ時間配分を考えないといけないし。お金持ちな研究室もあると思いますけどね。研究資金獲得って大変だなあ〜
