Event #1
As many of you might know, my brother is getting married on the 14th of December. Also, I will be having some interviews (hopefully) for grad schools soon. So I came to this conclusion: "I need a suit." My roommate, R., has bought a suit recently that he loves so I decided that I would go to the same store where R. got his suit.Today, R. took me there and I tried on some suits and found the one that I liked. It didn't have a vest so I asked the owner and he told me that he could just order one. It's a dark blue suit with blue paisley pattern on the inside. Then the next door does alteration and the owner was a Korean lady so she gave me a discount. :) The total of a 3-piece suit with alteration around $400. No regrets. I am not worried about the money at all. I am just so stoked about wearing that suit.
I am even going to buy a new white shirt and a pair of dress shoes for the occasion. I AM SO EXCITED!
Event #2
When I came home after getting a suit, I checked my email and got an email from a professor of one of my classes. This is what he said:
KyooI checked and I got 95 out of 100. The fact that he wanted to use my paper as an example for later AND as a sample paper! I was very flattered in many ways. Also, he is thinking about having me as one of his research assistant. That is awesome!
Hi there. You got one of the highest paper grades in the class - congrats. As a result, I wonder if you might be willing to email me your paper. I'd like to keep it as an example for future generations of students, but, also as a sample student paper in my portfolio I will submit next year when I apply for tenure. I'll remove your name.
Also, you inquired about working on research with me. Remind me what your specific research interests are and what you plan to do for grad school and a career thereafter.
Thanks for being a great student,
Sam
Overall
It's been a really good day. I even thought about asking a girl out on a date but I had to resist that. Too much, Kyoo. Too much. My excitement does not carry over to how she feels about me.
Anyways, I was happy today. I hope everyday will be like this.
