Today was a relatively routine day. Went to school, did boring stuff.
I am a total failure in tennis. In the entire lesson my racket only managed to touch a moving ball 2 times.
English lesson was also slightly more interesting as we were watching a movie on the biogrpahy of michael jackson. It was highly entertaining watching the way he interacts with little children (don't get the wrong idea).
Then i went for my first re meeting with dr nikolai at IMRE. Compared to zhao jin, our previous mentor, he was infinitely more engaging, though he has a tendency to ask me hard physics questions and sometimes i cant hear what he's saying due to his accent.
We were handling some large and scary looking machine called a MOKE system. Magneto-optic Kerr Effect. Do you understand this? No? Well i don't too.
Edit: This was supposed to go up yesterday but my dad stopped me from blogging halfway through this post.
Using the machine was very fun because after dr nikolai left us alone in the lab, we started playing pinball on the comp for collecting results.
Got home around 8pm and stoned around before going to sleep.
