Dude, where's my DRIVE?

I 'somehow' managed to lose my 8GB Transcend MP3 USB flash drive, loaded with lecture recordings, academic documents, and non-academic voice recordings somewhere. And with this term coming to an end, plus I thought I needed not backup the contents of the drive very often, this is not good news at all.

I suppose I will just have to do without all that helpful information (and tool) for what's left of this term...

A week of numbers

As the topic suggests, this week is all (most) about numbers.

The first number for the lottery drawing (yay...... ?) is... 28, and it is related to Age. Who's age? Good question, but I ain't gonna answer that. Ask around, and you will probably find out the answer on your own.

Oh! The second number just rolled out... 92. This number is related to an exam given to all members of Microsoft's Campus Elites program. An award ceremony was held this week for all top scorers. I went there only to find out the event organizers want to have the 3 highest achievers to represent the rest of the crowd to receive the certificates (and also have their pictures taken with a Microsoft Representative). To my disappointment, I was not among the 3

"musketeers".

Here come the third... wait... this number has three digits(!?). Anyhow, the number is 860. Well, this is definitely not a lottery number. What can this be then, heartbeat rate? I'm no Ironman. Time? Nah... if 860 represents time, it should be 900 (9:00). Then what!? It is my TOEIC score. Not a score I took pride in, though, because I got beaten by two Mechanical Engineering students in the area that I'm supposed to shine brightly in...

That's about it. This post may look like me trying to make connection from numbers to ordinary things. In fact, that is what I was doing. But without numbers, the three segments mentioned above would be beyond dull to read through.

END OF LINE

USR JTN SIGNED OUT-----

Department Council...

The department council (系學會) for this year is by far the most inactive council in years. Unlike previous school years, current council mostly hold events in a private manner, even if you are a department member, if you have very limited contact with the council, chances are you will be left out in the cold. Another thing, though not really an "event", but it's been done yearly long enough that it has become somewhat of a tradition： the Yearly Contact List/Card. It may have something to do with the council's privacy approach, because it was omitted/dismissed by the council this school year.

Overall, the council this year gets my vote... My vote of negative impression.

5/9

Place holder.
