Presentations and Dinner

Both SHM and Structural Control groups presented today for the KAIST professors and graduate students about our research that we have been doing. I am glad it has passed. We are almost done! Just two more weeks. These two upcoming weeks will consist of writing, and editing, our final report.

Anyways, we presented. Our group only worked on our powerpoint presentation for maybe 10hours, while the SHM group probably spent 30 hours on it-- day and night. Well, our group presented everything we knew so far. It was mostly what we understood. The SHM was a bit confusing if you didn't know the background. It's okay, we both presented very well. I liked their presentation better though, mainly because they spent so much time on editing that it looked very well put together. Ours was mostly graphs, Simulink program, and explanation on our different topics. It was good.

We were all dressed up. That was a change too. I liked it. We all looked very professional. It made me think, wow these will be my future colleagues! Professor Annika, Dr. Anthony, Dra. Tiara... I might just collaborate research projects with them some day. Sigh, maybe. If I get into grad school. It seems like a long shot right now. I guess I will have to look into researching good researching opportunities with good professors in different schools. I would really like to look into Columbia University, but then there's also my number one Berkeley, and UIUC, and ...

Okay, so today, after presentations we took a break and then went out for dinner with the graduate students that helped us. We had a lot to eat mmm I will miss it. Then, a little bit of KARAOKE with JeongSu, BoMi, and Sap. That was fun. I learned that almost all Korean males have great voices. I secretly think that JeongSu, after finishing his M.S. at KAIST, will become a pop star-- singing and dancing. ha! He's interesting. BoMi is one of the sweetest Korean girls you'll find. She makes us smile. And Sap is always busy, but a very cool guy. I'll miss all of them, and the others-- "Alexander", DD, HaeMin, ... I don't remember all of their names haha just the ones I see most.

Anyways, it's late and I should go to bed.
