Year Two of Grad School.

Fun things:
1) Watching Mark Morris Dance Group last Saturday. All I could think of was, dance makes music sound so good.
2) Designing a new laparascopic grasper for class. I forget how cool engineering can be sometimes. One prof wears Hawaiian shirts with weird prints to class and he's a genius, which makes him extra cool. The other prof speaks slowly, deliberately and makes a ton of deadpan jokes and is also a genius. The teaching assistant throws balls of paper at people who are sleeping in class behind the prof's backs.
3) Anatomy class. Dissections are making me want to be a surgeon very badly.
4) Immunology class. Flabbergastingly complex! Our bodies are amazing and I bet we don't even understand 2% of what really happens yet.
5) Learning to be happily Singaporean in angmohland. It's a new feeling when I can speak Singlish over Skype in lab and feel proud of it.

Running off for a Engineer without Borders conference call! xxx.
