Unbearable Heaviness in Life

loading, unloading, reloading, unloading... if life can be as simple and well defined as my little fragile BMG samples, it will be a blessing to most people. in reality, we should deal with lot more complexities like plastic zone, yield surface, fatigue, cracks, even... I don't want to mention the word, failure...

sitting here 2 o'clock in the morning with giant MTS machine, dark and hollow hallway and all kinds of suspicious noises, I think I'm really gaining certain passion in experimental mechanics. well, I would say I will love it better, if not all the stuffs I should deal with everyday are just so heavy :( the motor, the loading fixture, the glassy shielding, even my bag and now my eye lids....

it must be a punishment (or, neutrally, adjustment) to my height and probably somehow "frivolous" ( I just learned this new word) behaviors. to keep myself sitting down and digging deep into something, instead of flopping around, probably phD training of experimental mechanics in Caltech is the best. isn't that making you happier, and life lighter, girl?

well, I'm losing control of what I'm saying now... seems my experiment is finishing soon, I can go home now.... gosh, I'm really getting some cool results!
