Yoo's World

I'll be heading to Innsbruck, Austria next week for a conference presentation. The city appears to be a well-known skiing region, amongst other things, so it might be a waste not to ski at least once when I'm there. Maybe I'll ski after all the conference sessions are over in the afternoon or evening on the last day I'm there. Or maybe I'll just take a walk through the streets because I'll feel too tired or too cheap to do anything else. The one thing I am sure of is that I'm taking my camera with me.

I finally bungee jumped yesterday.

I have just graduated from KAIST as a Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science. As I expect would be typical for graduation ceremonies, today's graduation ceremony at KAIST's newly built sports complex was a crowdy affair.

Today is my first official day of work at the National Institute for Mathematical Sciences. It bodes well that I am still breathing at the end of the day, although I have yet to get my own computer, an identification card, email address, etc. And I'm already on a business trip tomorrow ...

I appear to have "officially" have received my Ph.D. as viewed by the school bureaucracy, even though I have yet to receive my diploma on the 26th at my graduation. The only way this manifests is that my keycard has been locked out from the school doors, which can suck when I need to get to school on odd hours. It's just an annoyance that I will have to put up until I completely move my stuff out of the school. Anyway, since I have my doctorate, I also need to be working at someplace new starting in March.
