I still feel so busy though i am a part time student now. TA-ing a class definitely take up a lot of my time. I am responsible for a particular lab, and creating a lab, testing, writing a lab manual takes forever. Easily spend more than 20 hour per week but heck, the most hour I can put in time card is only 20! Cheating!

I haven't landed a job yet. TOC just over yesterday. Getting a bit nervous now. If still cannot get one by next month i will be dead worried. Career fair is the only day when you see all ece major dress in their nice suits. And not forgetting all the free stuff the companies are giving away, free T-shirt, pen, thumbdrive etc. Even free gifts have different quality. Bloomberg's pen is much elegant than broadcom's. I guess that's the difference between business ppl and engineers.

I was screwed by nvidia booth again. I hate them giving out quiz on the spot, to determine who will get interviewed. Blame myself for not being a quick-thinker. AMD invited me for their networking dinner and guess what i got $25 bestbuy gift card from the raffle. I rarely rarely rarely get anything from lucky draw. Just hope that doesn't use up my luck in job search though. So basically i talked to all the hardware companies that were present. There are not that many anyway. Nvidia is out. Intel doesn't seem interested in international student. Left with AMD, motorola, HP, broadcom. Qualcomm didn't come this yr. So there are really not many choices left. Give me a job plz.
