Feeling sad about how opinions are being controlled (or suppressed) in China. My lady lately found that she couldn't add item of read book and/or broadcast any piece of thought (like what's on your mind on Facebook) on her favorite website about books, music and movies. Those functions seemed to be disabled all through. It's a Chinese website. Later she realized, "Oh, it's about 21st anniversary of Tiananmen Square protests of 1989."

Have seen the TA evaluation for the Spring term, for Phys0110, Introduction to Physics for health-related majors. A bit surprised to see some improve on the students' comments and performance averages, since I thought I put less effort on TA this term. Most of the comments are pretty positive, though still some complaining my English is hard to understand. But when seeing that they like the recitations, I felt it's all worth the effort. Every time in the mid of the term, I felt like "NO, I am not doing this anymore!", but upon seeing the encouraging comments, (well if not so much research work ahead), I feel like doing TA again! Like a senior friend of mine in the group, now an instructor in a college, told me that research is most of the time frustrating, but for teaching, you will quickly see the reward.
