Graduate School...
Basically, this is one way that I can postpone facing the reality for a little while. :-b I am a graduate student in course 3 (Department of Materials Science and Engineering) at MIT.
Right now, I am just taking core courses and haven't been doing much research work yet. Hope to start doing things seriously pretty soon. I joined LEXCOM. group under the supervision of Prof. Subra Suresh since I came to MIT. I will be able to talk more about my research later once I start.
Apart from doing (evil) problem sets and study for (hellish) exams, I also find something fun to do. For example, my friends and I went to a duck tour once. It was a very exciting experience because I got to drive the duck boat too! (Thanks god I didn't sink it but almost.)
