writing

I need to write more.

Reasons?

寫作是必需的。從寫作整理對一件事，一本書，一個人，一部電影，一首作品的了解。發掘沒有想過的聯系。

In this term, mindmapping is important. It helps and forces you to explore link between things that you never thought there is a link existed before.

research

1. study a new material everyday. This is important so that i have more 'weapons' to use in attacking research problems.

2. Try to summarize Prof.Liu teaching:

a. Allways break the problem into pieces

b. Simplify the problem to the simplest case. And then step by step build on it.

c. Talk about what you learn and do in a layman language that your roommates can understand.

To summarize what I did recently in my research:

1. I developed the single-shot autocorrelator. We discovered some problems with it that is not clearly described in literature. I need to continue look into it.
   
2. I am going to learn and practice how to use SPIDER next week. I think about it as a learning process.
   

What I need to do:

1. Try to schedule and practice a studying time. A lot of things to study.
   
2. Read papers every day.
   
3. I admit that sometime I cannot concentrated or get bored of the works. I need to take a rest. But browsing internet does not help. Try other methods: walking, listening to music.
   
4. To a nap after lunch.

Today I refined my single-shot set-up. Everything is up except beam.

I should study today but I didn't.

I spend my last hour on mindmapping. Can't get the effect I want. I think I need to draw them on paper.

Mindmapping is good, I saw somebody using it to give a overview of optics. An inspiration to me. Too many things can be done and study too.

I will work on what Prof tell me to do first. And then do the study. And read the paper. Do a lot of visualization and try to explain to somebody( even in your mind!).

I am not sure whether I want to take molecular alignment as my long term thesis topic. I hope I can do some plasmonics.

Book to study: AMO, nonlinear, Thz, femto.
