The new term begins

Summer is over, and the new term begins. There are lots of things going on this term -- teaching, research and taking courses -- all is exciting and challenging. Before I totally stress out (which might happen someday), I'll just copy the Olympics Motto and Creed here, that is to lighten me up and to remind me the purpose of this tough choice.

The Olympic Motto is "Citius, Altius, Fortius," a Latin phrase meaning "Swifter, Higher, Stronger." Coubertin's ideals are probably best illustrated by the Olympic Creed:

Summary: ICPSR Regression I (June 23 ~ July 18, 2008)

This ICPSR summer course was taught by Sandy Schneider from MSU. The focus of the course was to help students learn how to use the Regression Model to 1) describe, 2) explain, and 3) predict real problems. The textbook I used was Basic Econometrics, 4th Edition, by Gujarati.

Impression on Boston

I love Boston. It's almost my favorite city of the east coast. My favorite city in the west is San Francisco. The reason I like it is probably because of its size is just right. Not too crowded like NYC, or too quiet like a small town, Ypsilante for example.

One thing I noticed is that 2 out of 10 people are reading books while waiting/taking the subway. Perhaps it's because the city has Harvard/MIT. I love cultured, highly intellectual cities.

Goodbye Boston. Hello Montreal.
