The winter semester ended this Wednesday with a take-home final exam. So here comes the summer vacation!! Well... no vacation of course cuz obviously a PhD will always have to work during the summer. However, this year the plan is different. I will take 3 months off from my PhD research and fly to California for an internship and a nice summer. So that was the plan. Apparently no plan works as expected in 2020, neither does this. The title already spoils. So, yes, no more California this year.

Two weeks passed and everything changed. Coronavirus finally arrived in Michigan this Wednesday, and the school immediately announced that we will stop the class on Thursday and Friday, starting class in the online form from the next week until the semester ends. All meeting changes online and working from home is encouraged. Groceries are full of people everywhere with everything related to killing virus sold out. Although these several weeks I have been overwhelmed by the coronavirus news from Taiwan, at this point I finally realized that this affects daily lives so much. Everyone starts to panic.
I decided to write some English occasionally on my blog.
Fun fact: Actually this is not my first English post. The first English post on my blog was “Jeff part 1”, which is a little story about my old friend Jeff during my first year PhD. Unfortunately, part 2 never came out, and probably will never come out. Don’t ask me why. It is just not the way things go. Well…if you are interested, part 2 was about Jeff and his girlfriend staying in my room for one night, and I hung out with some of his friends. Then he moved to Florida. Story ended. |
