Finally

Finally I got my manuscript done, days ago. Writing is really a pain, especially for non-native speaker (at least, for me). Now the ball is out of my hands, and I can only keep my fingers crossed.

I will attend the ASCB meeting at DC in early December. I had been there before, for another conference - AACR, as a RA in NHRI, Taiwan. "That AACR" was supposed to be held in Toronto, and was postponed due to the SARS breakout. The email notice arrived only hours before my plane to Toronto. Although I had been DC before, at the bright side, this is my first time to visit DC in winter, and with my family. I need to make a poster for it. Since I have a manuscript done, it should not be difficult to make one.

I will have my second Dissertation Advisory Committee (DAC) on Dec.14. The conclusion of my first DAC is to have my second DAC after this paper, to discuss future directions. Too bad it is 6-month later than the date Andrew Murray expected. Again, I was killed by writing........

Then I shall have my group meeting on Jan. Busy...
