今天31号,刚好开学一个礼拜的日子,另外一个意义是:明天就是九月的开始了.

昨天晚上这个时候还在考虑drop 535的问题,现在终于下定决心坚持了,作业题目也算完成了.

TA的问题也基本解决,两门课的老师看起来都很nice,其实,如果真的每周20个小时在上面,会作的很好,但是20个小时都还比较舍不得用呢~ 下周要多投入些了,毕竟这是经济来源啊!

546现在都还比较简单,这周要把讲过的过一下.

research老板给了一些东西,不知道自己会作的如何,也是周末的重点.当然,还有535,说实话老师讲的不错,而且做完作业的确发现自己又进不了一层.

突然发现自己的房间和书桌的摆放位置都很好，每到周末就可以看到两公里外比赛的烟火（不好意思实在对体育不感冒，竟然都不知道是什么比赛，我想应该是橄榄球或者棒球吧），感觉很不错。

其实礼拜四才正式上，只是上了一个完整的算法课程和另一个一个小时的课程，就已经感受到巨大的压力了。从昨天晚上到现在基本实在煎熬中度过：老师留的算法题目感觉很难，完全没有解决的头绪。看来美国的生活着实给了自己一个下马威。虽然走之前对各种可能应对的困难，特别是学习上的，有很大的心理准备，但是一旦付诸实践，却还是感觉多少承受不住。两门课程一门对算法应该要求很高，而另外一门应该对project要求比较高，尽管现在还没有感受到。

自己在国内的很多陋习都已经暴露出来了：底子薄弱，注意力不够集中导致的效率低下，不能从专业和科学的角度出发来解决和思考问题，等等。

TA的一门课程是我以前没有接触过的，结果老师就要求我这周一带成绩单过去见他。真的发现没有任何事情是你可以“混”过的。no pain, no gain,此刻应该算是更有感触了。

跟倪同学短短的通话是有作用的，我来美国不就是为了受罪，为了感受这些东西的嘛？迎难而上，面对它们，征服它们。是我唯一的能作的了。尽管的确没有乐观的心态，但我应该积极一些，不是吗？

有些事情，你必须面对，并且征服它。

something you have to overcome.

hi everybody,I've been in Chicago Since Aug 14th.Everything goes well till now.

I almost settled down in my apartment, bed, matress, desk, chair, kitchen, sofa, etc. I bought a cell phone and the laptop just arrives this moring, it's really cool, I like it!

I've been to Chinatown for 2 times, it's not far from iit, only takes 20 minutes by bike. I've got to know which place to go when buying different stuffs. Chinese food, to China Town; living stuffs, to familly dollar; milk, drink, to eggstore, etc.

I participated in the group meeting yesterday, have talked with my advisor and other guys in the lab, they are all very nice, It's really lucky for me to join in this lab.

I've already decided which courses to register this symester, they will be helpful to my research and qualify exam. But may be a challenging for me.

I'll deal with the SSN application next week, also the courses will start.

It's still a little difficult for me to adapt to the english speaking environment, especially when talking with indians. It's another challenge.

Anyway, the reason why I come here is to face challenges, I will try my best to adpat to them.

I'll add some photoes later.

Bless you all. please contact with me by email or msn.
