update-second sv meeting

arrive uni - 9.05am
left - 4.40pm

have appointment with anthony today at 9.30am. for me today, its the earliest time i arrived at uni. most of the time around 10.30 am, is the earliest.
but because of my dear dear second sv i' ll do anythingg...ewaah..

9.30am sharp: i stood infront his office, but the office still close and dark. as always, there was a note saying "be back at 9.40"...nice..

met Jean, chinese girl, also his student, happen to be his student from last sem, taking MSc by coursework, but RMIT allowed their PG coursework student to take a semester doing research to replaced at least 4 subjects..so Jean choosed to do research this sem.

9.42am : anthony arrived at the office, looking at us and said" i have been triple booked today.." me and Jean like looking at each other and i just couldn't get it, but then another student arrived, " Hi Anthony..." yaaa, now i understand, 3 students at the same time..

but as Anthony said, it is alright, because we went to the meeting actually for the same purpose, to learn how to use the 4-probe, rf sputtering,bla bla..all at the micro machine lab..so we went there together like a happy family..heheh

so far so good for me, and i am fortunate because Jean is willing to be partner with me whenever we want to use the lab..there are several rules while using this lab and the cleanroom, one of those is , each student need to get partner, or member whenever they want to enter/using the lab, its one of the precaution procedures, thus, if anything happens, we have someone as a back up..to help us, to call some one, to seek for security, etc..

anyway, my office PC is not working today, the IT person said, somekind of hardisk corruption and will come again tomorrow to repair it..small matter, because here, all students have access to a special server called H:Drive..and all students are encourage to always save their works on this drive..

what so special about this drive is that:

if something happen to your PC (like mine) you can always use other PC, which is not use by other students, "on vacancy"(have some in my office, no student using it, not entitled to anyone, & belongs to the students who already completed their studies and they are not coming to uni anymore)...

you can always access the same work by using the H:Drive by login using your student ID and your password...no need to always transfer your work to thumbdrive or CD as back up..

and you can also access the H:Drive from home, using internet, and via RMIT website...

so i used Noura's PC today...no problem at all, but still, i love to do my work at my own work station..so hopefully by tomorrow, the IT person can settle it and my PC will be okay..InsyaALlah.

ehemm..english again...well what to do..the 'environment influence" is VERY STRONGG..ihiks..cheers
