1 I am really fast implementing and testing algorithms and ideas in research. Rama made a comment to me a few days ago like, “Mingwu, you are the fastest implementer in Midwest…”
2 I passed comprehensive exam last August with a little work left for PhD. But I had to put the PhD work aside and worked as a consulting intern in Rama(my professor)’s company from last September to the coming mid Jun. One day Rama suggested me in a discussion like, “Mingwu, you have to think like a PhD.” I kidded him like, “Give me the PhD, then I will think like a PhD…”
3. I dropped by Charli’s room to say hi and found Lizzy was also in her room. Lizzy asked me, “Barton, why don’t you talk to me?” I pretend to be in a relationship with her like, “Lizzy, I think we have spent too much time together.” She kidded back like, “No, I wanna talk to you over a cup of wine, Barton…”
Charli laughed and jumped in like, “It sounds romantic, but the relationship goes too fast Lizzy.” “Yeah, I am not ready for such a commitment,” I continued joking and pretended to scrutinize the relationship between Lizzy and me seriously like, “Lizzy, where are we?”
4. Scott and Sarah are good friends and also my housemates in Phoenix. They were having conversations while lying in Scott’s bed under separate blankets the other day. At one point Sarah disagreed with Scott and screamed “No!!!” really loud, when I happened to walk into the house and heard the scream. So I dropped by Scott’s room, pretended to assume Sarah was being sexually harassed by Scott and asked, “Sarah, did you just scream ‘No’? …”
I chilled a little bit in Scott’s room and gave them my best wishes before leaving for my room like, ” I have to run folks. You guys have a good sex…”
5. It has been snowing extremely heavily in Michigan this winter. It snowed again the other day and I met the front desk lady on my way work. I asked her, “How do you like the snow?” She said, “To be honest, I am a little bit tired of it now.” I was like, “Oh, that’s OK if it’s only ‘a little bit’…”

1. I found one of my papers on waste water got two more citations with three in total the other day… And yes, it’s a paper on waste water, seriously…
2. I watched a hockey game between MSU and OSU with housemates the other day. Hockey is so much more fun to watch than any other sports without any question. The game is going so fast and intense with almost no stops because of seldom out-of-bound. I have to admit hockey becomes my favorite sport to watch now…
Fun in My Life
