UIC & ASU

刚刚打电话给UIC的admission office,第一次听了2分钟音乐没人接,第二次那个女的脾气不怎么好,第三次还不错,听得很清楚,也很耐心。发音不准,我的first name里的S对方听不出来,直到我说“O,P,Q,R,S,...”,才知道是S。
 
ASU CIDES的小米声音听起来好年轻啊,yy。
 
发现GRE送分又提价了:$20->$23

one step further

昨天send了email给Prof,刚刚就收到回复了,貌似是说让我报告申请进度之类的。总之没有被默据,算是一个小小的鼓励,接下来继续套磁。

昨天还收到Purdue的notification说材料齐了。准备收rej,GPA差一大截呢。

PSU 悲剧了

圣诞前23号办公室就没人了,材料要被原地销毁了,再寄一次,悲剧啊

BTW,写cover letter的一个好处就是可以记下发了什么材料。

Merriam Webster shines again!

Its exact and clear explanations of words are definitely a indispensable partner when writing any formal and decent document.

Learning how to write from review

Recently, I was obligated to help reviewing one of this year's WWW paper, which is well written with sparkling ideas.
From the view of a reviewer, one shoule learn more and deeper about writing an academic paper.
 
1. Begin from Abstract util the end of Introduction, tells an attractive story logically and smoothly drive readers' attention.
2. Reviewers seldom care about how you organize a paper. it is a chicken's rib.
3. Remember to illustrate the problem and solution via toy example, with clearly shown figures or tables.
