Grace的進修雜記:)

It seems that the trees are just beginning to change color of leaves .

As the temperature drop down so fast, I start to eat more food to keep warm.

When I saw the Flying Cat Coffee, I thought about a movie called Kiki's Delivery Service.

Did you see the flying cat on top of this photo?

Yatimura Maru has happy hour everyday.
When I bike around the area of my neighbor, I decide to treat myself some yummy food.
Even those small dishes may not be able to full my stomach, I still want to give it a try.

This was a free event held by PSU Alumni Association.
Connections: Celebrating the Mersereau Music Scholars
Those musicians connected to each other via different instruments.

There are several houses with special decorations in my area.

As the temperature drops down a lot recently, my body becomes vulnerable to sickness!

Therefore, I got a flu shot last week, and it only took me 20 minutes including in the Center for Student Health and Counseling waiting for a while after I got the flu shot.

I was a customer of AT&T for few years, but I transfer to T-mobile today.
The main issue is to cost down the phone bill.So I change my phone service from AT&T to T mobile now!
I need to give the IMEI number from the back of my device to AT&T for unlocking my phone, and I also need to provide account number, pin number to T-mobile.

Since I don't want to stay on campus for being on call all the time, I moved to a different place in the beginning of September.
This is a lovely place, which has two stories not including the basement.

I was luck to have a chance to visit Oregon Zoo on Community Free Day.
October 4, 2014 - 09:00am to 04:00pm
Presented by Regence BlueCross Blue Shield of Oregon As a thank you to our community, the Oregon Zoo is offering free admission for all, all day!

It would be easier to travel if I have my own transport; so I rent a bike from our bike hub.

The bike comes with a front light and a back light, but there is no horn on it. Therefore I asked my friend to bring one for me from my hometown.

Since we were on campus during the summer term, we decided to make ice moon cake by ourselves.

We dyed those dough before we started to make ice moon cake.

Recently I found out that hands-on experiment requires a lot of patience .

A probe is set to receive a thin film of Aluminum via a thermal evaporation vacuum system. The reason to coat the fiber in the vacuum system is to create a clean surrounding for the coating process. The thermal evaporation vacuum system includes a main chamber, ion gauge, roughing valve, high vacuum valve, fore-line valve, diffusion pump, mechanical pump, flow switch, heat sink, solid state relay, neutral bus, solenoid valves, and ammeter.

It is highly necessary to maintain an interlock for the diffusion pump by using the flow switch and solid state relay. The interlock is needed to prevent damage on the diffusion pump. Specifically, if there is not enough water passing through the flow switch, the diffusion pump cannot be turned on. The diffusion pump needs water when pumping vapor cycle and gas flow inside the system. The diffusion pump, VHS-6, is operated at 120 Volts with the solid state relay controlled by a 24 Volts power supply. Therefore, a solid state relay is designed to switch the power for the load circuitry of the diffusion pump. The neutral bus is technically allowed to bond the wires of the system. This thermal evaporation vacuum system is used to coat a thin layer of Aluminum on an optical fiber. Everywhere except the tip of the optical fiber has been covered in a thin layer of Aluminum.

In this summer during weekdays, most of time I am in the lab, library or my dorm in order to keep everything under control.
When I received the following message from International Student Office, I decided to have fun with them during the weekend.
~~~~Have you ever seen a Bollywood movie?

When we want to have some asian food, we can buy it from Asian market or make it by ourself.
This is the first time for me to make fried dumpling with my friends, and they turn out good.
