Another month! Hopefully I'll be better at doing what I planned this time.
What I'm working on:
+ Research for next step ater MIT. I want to figure out:
- what graduate schools I'm applying to (if going to graduate school)
- what companies I'm applying to (if looking for a job)
- or other plans
+ Perchance to Dream: crunch time!
+ Experimenting for the best study practice by learning some math: I'm going to review the math classes I took at MIT and teach myself some 18.06, following the practice that I plan to use for my classes in the fall semester. The math-learning is just a side-effect of the actual project, which is testing and revising by newly-made study method
+ mini-project: finish my last bits of organizing:
- figure out different email accounts
- answer emails
- reduce emails
- throw some stuff out
- time database
- clean up monthly bills
- financial plans
Saturday Morning Project: more tinkering projects (hopefully)
What I'm reading: currently I'm halting my reading on ebooks, so I can read through the physical books that I have and put them somewhere/give them away so I don't have to carry them with me everywhere I move. Moving a lot of books is very tiring. That said:
+ Switch (reading)
+ The Clean Tech Revolution (complimentary with one of my projects)
+ The Ultimate Hitchhiker's Guide (late, I know...)
Habit I'm building:
+ This one is a lot more specific and realistic: go to sleep at 12.30, and wake up at 8.30!
Skills I'm building:
+ drawing
+ guitar
Adventure: still unknown, let's see

End of June, 2011
Another planning post for another month. But first here's a recap of how June went:
What I worked on:
+ unpacked
+ organized some stuff:
- GTD system, probably needs a bit more detail twitching
- made checklists, probably also need more modifications
- renamed computers
- sort of organized physical workspace
- evaluated phone plan
+ some work on Perchance to Dream
I did not completely organize some of my stuff :( and I also did not do anything about math... partially due to the NYC trip.
What I read:
+ Ender's Shadow
+ Battle Hymn of a Tiger Mother
+ The Now Habit (did not completely finish it)
I'd say it was so-so. I did not complete everything that I planned, so it's a bit sad.

On New York City Attractions
I'm back from my NYC and (more importantly) have recovered from my mandatory motion sickness every time I'm near a bus. Here is a brief list and quick comments or trivia the places I've been to:
Harlem: so homogeneously black.
Bronx Zoo: the polar bear looked sad because it had no snow.
United Nations: did you know that the UN used to be in San Francisco? It got moved to new York because the Russian delegation said it was too far away from Russia.
Madame Tussaud: Einstein! The 4D movie is also cute, but very random and unrelated. Also why is it called 4D anyway? It's not like you're traveling in time when watching it.
Harry Potter exhibition at Discovery Time Square: they claim that the stuff in the exhibit is the original used in the movie, not the replica. It was believable until I saw Hagrid's outfit. Is there actually a person that large and tall?
Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum: don't volunteer for a submarine if you're claustrophobic. Even if you're not, it's just a bad idea in general.
BODIES... the exhibition: I wonder who all of these people that donated their bodies were.
Clipper City Sailboat: it's a huge sailboat. That's awesome.
NBC Tour: the tour guide reminded me of Jimmy from South Park. He led us to the Globe Theater and said "what a lovely audience." After we finished watching the documentary, he appeared and said "what a lovely audience." When we crossed another tour, he said to them "what a lovely group of people."
Radio City Musical Hall: did you know that stages are controlled by hydraulic lifts? Apparently it's the state-of-the-art technology. The stage is very big and awesome.
Lincoln Center: the Koch theater is nicknamed the Jewelry Box. Again, did you know that stages are controlled by hydraulic lifts? Avery Hall, home of the New York Philharmonic, is also nice. There's an upright piano outside and there is often someone playing. It was nice to sit down and listen.
