Happy New Year!

Christmas break was spend recovering from viral fever... not fun stuff, but Doctor Who Christmas special as usual was awesome and left me wanting to strangle Moffat - far too much happened too quick! The new Doctor doesn't like the color of his kidneys... at least it is not his hair color..., and is Scottish this time for real (so Clara's comment/insult earlier in the special applies now :P).

So it is finally 2014! Survived 2013 and walked into the realm of 2014.... 2012 still hasn't happened yet, but still keeping an eye out for it :P , who knows maybe the Mayan's miscalculated (shrug)...

So I am an year older now and my resolution from last year: an episode of Doctor Who a day is still going strong - which by the way, 365 episodes of Doctor Who leaves one in middle of 11th season of it! Sarah Jane Smith is the Doctor's companion since the beginning of season 11 and already she is the best so far, a bit self-centered, but still the best! - before the year is out, I should be caught up with the classic series.

One of the best birthday gift was the return of Sherlock (it airs on Jan 19th here in US) but I managed to watch it live. Nothing like reunion of Sherlock Holmes and John Watson (hehe) :D. Next episode airs on Jan 5th - this Sunday!

Also SD can be addicting, already bought stuff early morning (1-2am) today... it was really good deals, hard to pass it away (shrug)

Ad Finem

After 9 semesters / 4.5 years of arduous struggle, I have reached yet another milestone in life. As of this Wednesday (18/12/2013), I have completed my degree in Physics and Computer Science officially. I did walk on Tuesday, however they (UNLV.... sigh) managed to butcher my name awesomely~ Now wait for 10 weeks for UNLV to process and send me my diplomas....

Meanwhile, I got break for a month before jumping back in again for Masters in Computer Science, so time to catch up on shows! Also start and pick up some projects....

All in all, I am at the end the path I took 4.5 years ago and now must walk down another path for next 1.5-2 years and see where that takes me.

Bachelor of Science in Physics DONE!

So after 9 arduous semesters, I have finally finished my Bachelor of Science degree in Physics, concentration in Computational Physics! Thats two down (other being the Math minor)! Now only the Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science remains! 2 more exams and I am done with that as well!

Be prepared for upcoming storm of posts after next Wednesday! :D
