5.10 Wrote to myself

(May 2nd, 2016 posted on Facebook)
Thanks for everyone’s birthday wishes!
Today turns out to be a day of hardworking. Although still got a lot to work on, I am glad to see my first scientific manuscript getting better every single day.
After work, with a little spirit of celebration, I got myself a new pair of StanSmith, a cup of S’more Frapuccino, and a wonderful dinner in SOMA at the Kimchi Burrito place watching Spur’s game.
I want to remind myself that in 2015, I wrote down several TODOs:
- Learn R programming
I am so glad that I’ve been picking up the programming skill, which helped me accomplished my master thesis and now become my primary tool for daily work. Every day I learn a bit of it and immediately apply in problem solving, which gives me a full sense of accomplishment.
- Keep traveling
I spent a wonderful year traveling around US and China, as well as Okinawa for PhD interview. It can’t be more enjoyable to get reunion with old friends, families, as well as meeting new friends. Will certainly keep the spirit on!
- Keep reading
I am not reading quite much. Tons of daily fragment readings wouldn’t count. Two of my current interests are “How to be a Modern Scientist” by Jeff Leek and “The Art of Data Science” by Roger Peng, both authors are the instructors of John Hopkins University’s Data Sciences Specialisation on Coursera. Will try reading things that are seemingly irrelevant but genuinely inspiring.
- Keep being grateful for life
Living in a different culture and country is certainly not easy. Though did experienced down moments and hard time, I always had supports in all kinds of ways which helped me got through. Life is certainly wonderful in both explainable truths and unexplainable beauties.
- Make more jokes about life
Have I? I will keep making more!
- Try not to get horned by SF driver
I've become one of them?!
At the age of 26, I want to:
- Get my first vehicle and get the kick on Route 66
- Keep the positive attitude
- Learn machine learning with python
- Not discouraged by the on-going challenges
- Try my best to be an excellent PhD student
