Two people in 2 weeks asked me if I am from Korea, one of them is from Philippines and one of them is from CHINA!! I just felt that's not right... If they are Americans and screwed up and thought I am from any of the asian countries, then that wasn't so bad..  the fact that one of them is CHINESE made me felt awkward..

WHY DO PEOPLE THINK I AM A KOREAN? Is it my accent or my last name or... (this is the worst) my big round face?? (Sorry, I try not to be stereotypic here..)

BTW, recently people asked me what am I studying:

I study vitamin A deficiency and its effect on reproduction.

And my "last" batch of baby rats are coming on the 2nd, well we'll see how that goes.

I was waiting for an experiment in the lab this morning so I did this because of the boredom...

These are all VERY random pics from my computer. 

Finally recovered from all the stress and tiredness from that seminar that I gave last week, it took me 1 whole week to function normally. And now, back to normal, working hard again, and happy (if not yelled at by my boss that day).

Speaking of which, my boss and I talked after the seminar, by the end of the talk, she asked if I saw the light at the end of the tunnel yet, and I shook my head and said no, of course not, I think I still have a year to go.

Anyways.... I ordered a lot of baby rats for my study, hopefully these would be my last ones and NO MORE ANIMAL WORK after this..we'll see..
 

A little side story, I got this random email from some company and look at the attention(!):

今日又俾人跣.....
