May 4 is the official last day of the Spring semester for me, and Fall semester starts sometime end of August. In between that I’m taking a one week intensive summer course on Development and administration of special education programs. I’ll also have to “intensively” work on my qualifier project. I can’t believe I procrastinated so much on that and to make matters worse, someone else published an article that almost answered all of my research questions. I sort of had to reproposed my proposal and I WILL get it done before summer is over.

It’s spring now and flowers are blooming everywhere. Pink and white all over.

The deadline for Operation Summer Car may have to be pushed back around 2 months. All the conferences expenses and reimbursement procedures is messing up my finances at the moment.

Today I attended a session by this Apple senior support personnel who gave what he calls a presale presentation. Bootcamp, Rosetta, parallel-something…it’s amazing how user-friendly some of the applications are. I’m thinking of making a photo presentation with background music and commentaries and then burn it on a DVD and send it back to Malaysia and mom and dad can just pop that into the DVD-player or maybe just podcast it. And if I really have time to spare I can even have a version in Cantonese for my aunt. I’m even thinking of working on some sort of video-modeling intervention for my dissertation. But first I’ll have to get both the hardware and software And that may be another reason why Operation Summer Car will be extended another 2 months.

Oh..the Apple presenter even gave away free iPod Nano……magnets!
