Highlights

I enjoyed life in Seattle, though we suffered from too much rain fall this year. Mostly my courses are around environmental engineering. But I chose some health and energy courses too, which is pretty fun. I also did a capstone designing class. That is very demanding, also rewarding. I am exposed to projects in the real world. It is exciting.

I was doing tutoring in my last two quarters too. I got to know the school here and how the kids grow up. That is a challenge to my language too. But anyway, it is a great experience.
