get back that luck

It's been more than a year since I visited my blog. And oh yeah, I was still an undergraduate student when I last posted some stuffs (academic-related stuffs) here.

I just astonished and anxious about TIME. Yes, time flies so fast. It seems like it was only yesterday when I rushed my blogs, my papers, my thesis. And now, time for making another thesis is coming... again...

I am already a 2nd year Master of Physics student... and next semester.. YES, as in June-Nov 2011, I shall be defending my master's thesis.

I was quite lucky during my undergrad years because I was able to conduct experiments and gather data everytime I lack information to support my research topic. And because of my excitement to my research, I entered the graduate program immediately after graduating last November 2009.

Now, I am feeling a bit nervous about my research. One factor is that the laser I used before is now in trouble. The simmer LED doesn't turn on during the warm up time. My supervisor has already checked several parameters to resolve our problem, but unfortunately, until now it is still not lighting.

Given more than 6 months before the end of the 1st semester of AY 2011-2012, our group must get the laser back to operation. Many of us depend on it. We can't easily replace it because IT IS VERY COSTLY... T_T

I just hope to get back that luck and be able to debug the problem in our laser. ...
