I finished typing chapter 2 of my thesis at last. 26 pages? Something like that. I'm now moving on to type chapter 3.

If any of you has mastered latex, and wishes to earn some extra cash this holidays, go and offer your typing service to the honours students. I'm sure if you charge, say, $250 for the whole thesis, and $10 for each diagram you draw, you'll probably see a queue of students at your doorsteps.

To think that I've actually turned down a senior's offer to type my thesis for free, I must be either very hardworking, very independent, or very stupid. Let's just assume I wanna be independent. And I paid the price of having to burn the past few days typing from 9.30 a.m. to 10.30p.m. I'm going to burn the next few days too. I better not complain bout all the typing, because I was the one who gave up the alternative. I've no idea how I gonna return the favour to my senior if I were to accept the offer.

Now that I'm beginning to get the hang of latex, I wanna thank all the seniors who solved my problems regarding latex. It's a good feeling to have people around offering help and giving suggestions.

Since I seldom hang out in the honours room this holidays, I've left a drawing on the whiteboard to remind others of my presence. Haha.



The "cigarette" wasn't drawn by me. As you can see, I've no drawing talent. And my photography skills suck. Haha. ok, I'm not too ashamed to admit these two facts. But since, nobody actually bothered to erase my drawing in the past one week, it can't be that bad (just let me comfort myself).
