After 10 hour driving from Purdue in Indiana, passing through Ohio, Pennsylvania, we finally arrived at Buffalo in New York state and settled down in the Days Inn. The hotel room is actually pretty nice, about 65 dollars per night. It is first time for me to drive that long. Glad had Keith here to help me through at several points.
Tomorrow morning, my friend Jon is going to pick us up and I will go to apply a vistor VISA to Canada. Hopefully, I can get the VISA and go to see the scences and eat authetic food in Toronto. Jon is going to show us the city and possibly go to see the Niagara Falls in USA side. It is pretty late now. I need to sleep and have energy for tomorrow. I am going to post pictures we took on the way later if you are interested. Wait for update tomorrow
It has been a while since last post. Just a quick update about what was going on.
My first paper was accepted for publication on Journal of Biomedical Optics.
Keith and I went to canoe on the Wabash river. The canoe that a Korean couple was on tipped over. Luckily, they had life ring on. It was scary to canoe on Wabash since we almost tipped over at two points.
More scary, we went to ride roller coasters in Kings Island in Ohio. That was the first time I went on a roller coaster. I am not sure if I dare to try it again.
I have my teeth deep cleaned and three oral cavities fixed. One tooth is still hurting and I cannot bite on that side. Hope it will get better soon.
I have two undergraduate students working with me for the summer section. I need to submit a paper before July 1st and have not started to write yet. Hope I can make the deadline. Good luck on the research.
OK, that is all for now. If you guys want to know more detail or anything, just drop me a line.
No one seems interested to register on my website since till now only one person registered and I do not know who he/she is. It might just because I update too rare. Hope I will change this situation.
Keith set this website for me quite a while ago. Because of the lazy nature of human being, I have not posted anything here yet till today. I am planning to transfer from other several blogs I have to here. Hope this will go smoothly.
和Keith在一起有一年多了，刚刚过了anniversary。Purdue每年都会提供免费HIV检测。感觉主要去检测的群体是同志人群。如果国内的高校能提供这样匿名免费的检测加之防艾宣传，应该是大有益处。
现在的检测手段越来越简单。用一个棉棒一样的东西沿着牙龈划一圈，然后等20分钟就出来结果了。去年和Keith正式确定关系之前，我俩都去检测过。他还花了90刀去抽血。我去的学校的免费检测，虽然不用抽血但是需要等两个星期。科技的发展还真快，不过从实验到临床，这个阶段会花很多时间。理所当然，我俩的结果都是阴性。恩，每个人发了一包套套，省了几个月的套套钱哈哈。
要睡觉了，各位晚安。有空留言哦，有人留言我才会多写嘛。
这个标题是我科研的一个应用领域。为了了解整个过程，今天一大早boss开车带着我们到Indianapolis和我们合作的皮肤科医生医院去观摩Mohs手术的整个过程。第一例病例是一个黑人头皮上有一小块tumor，医生用刀沿着边缘切了一块下来分析。然后又去看了一个老头，耳朵后面有一大块tumor，用刀片刮了一大块下来，然后又沿着边缘切了一层做分析。直径有大概4cm，我和labmate站在那表情都很不自然，感觉自己有点晕，反胃，有点站不住，看来自己还是不适合做医生。不过后面看着那个切下来的一大块肉倒是没有觉得什么，主要是不能看到切的过程。最恐怖的是医生叫我们去看一个病人手背上有一大块鳞状细胞瘤，实际上没有在手背上，在左手手背和中指关节之间。医生告诉我们这是这个病人第二次在一个地方做手术，估计是第一次切除的时候，没有切干净，tumor又长出来了。医生先用一种刮刀刮去很大一片组织，然后不知道为啥，他用刀在伤口上搅动，这个时候我就不能看下去了。可惜我看不到自己的表情，肯定很怪异，难怪医生助手问我are you ok？然后我就躲在boss后面，不敢再看，又很好奇，我发现我labmate已经决定不再看了。我就好奇的瞟了一眼。……病人手背中指关节的肉全部没有了，露出来一根白色的骨头，中指的骨头。顿时看了看自己的左手中指，决定不再看了。幸好当初没有去做外科医生。嗯，外科医生这个职业不适合我。大家以后出去晒太阳的时候一定要涂防晒霜啊，skin cancer还是比较恐怖的，我想没有人想只是露半截白色的手指头在外面吧。我们带了一些skin cancer的新鲜组织回来，可惜老板还没有申请到处理human sample的protocol，处于安全考虑，只有能到申请到了我们才能处理。
今天感觉是第一天对自己的研究开始产生兴趣。和labmate讨论和做实验一直到7点半，从五点爬起来已经过了12个小时了。虽然我们得到的结果和我们系统的卖点是相反的，至少对系统增进了一些了解。嗯，再接再励。
为啥发不了英文标题和内容的文章呢？看来sina网blog有bug。
He is sleeping soundly. I just came back from the lab. I was scared of the lightning on the way back home. It seemed so clear to me. I was thinking it might be good to be hit by the lightning. It can be a relief. Will he be extremely sad if it happened? I do not know why I have so many strange thoughts. He just does not care that I slept in the living room. I cannot fall asleep but he obviously can. If there is a way to quantify the love, does he love me more than I love him? I seem to be isolated here. Molly is sleeping with him. Only stuffed animals are here with me. Well, at least that is a comfort. I was thinking about what would happen if I did break up with him, he has family here to comfort him. What can I get? I know he loves me, but is that in a right way? Maybe I need to change myself, maybe. It is a new month now. I have a lot to do. I need to care about myself first. Be selfish sometime.
昨天和Keith讨论领养孩子或者借腹生子的事情，嗯，觉得以后自己还真想有两个孩子。主要是看到新闻说美国有gay couple找代理公司找到代理母亲有了两个孩子，感觉他们蛮幸福的。嗯，好好努力，争取早日有自己的孩子。Keith偏向于领养，我偏向于用自己的sperm，说不定还能体验下那啥。hoho，别说我evil。
今天开始调光路，用的一千瓦的光源，蛮吓人的。在焦点的地方，纸一下就会被烧着了，戴着墨镜还觉得特别亮。嗯要注意安全。今天心情还不错，虽然大后天就是workshop了，需要提前写一个introduction，一点还没有开始。但是今天比较有心情做事。一千瓦的光源今天突然坏了，不知道是好还是坏，老板挺担心的，调光路可以暂时拖一拖，但是毕竟是要调的。自己还得打电话和公司理论，争取早日换一个新的来。
昨天去了wm聊了很久，主要是和他商量deposit的事情。最后的结论是他给我deposit，我不带走和hk共享的东西。嗯这样挺好的。这个月底和Keith搬到一起的时候就可以真正开始自己一个小家了。
Be positive, be efficient. Enjoy life, bless everyone.
考完试了，很多人见到就问暑假准备到哪里玩。这个时候才意识到我有暑假么？Purdue给我的RA是十二个月的，也就是说十二个月都应该工作，象小秘一样。记得去年刚开学的时候说过一年有22天的带薪休假。准备在圣诞的时候回去三个星期，刚好就把假期用完了。嗯，现在才意识到自己已经告别了曾经有暑假的学生时代。
