Data Visualization of Undergraduate Coursework


for fun!
...  because I like having fun :)

Below is the data visualization image for what I have fathomed during my undergraduate years. I studied eclectic range of subjects, and I have a good grasp of these academic fields (I think). 

Congratulations to our trophy winners: Engineering, Analysis, Chinese, Systems, Mathematics, Programming, and Education

Honorable Mention: Operations Research, Political Science, Statistics, Design, Calculus (I took a lot of them - up to formal proof in calculus; it's beautiful), and Literature


 ... and ta-da! here it is:

Graphic Design: Brewing my artistic brain

graphic design: 
~ brewing my artistic brain

In Huang Scholars Program, I was asked to sketch out my graphic design ideas on the t-shirts below, which later became official t-shirt designs of the program. I put quite a bit of effort into producing these designs, so I decided to post my works here.

    T-shirt for the first 2012 cohort (hand-sketch in the middle was perhaps the most fun part to play with)

   T-shirt for the 2013 Cohort (decided to highlight attention to students' dedication level in learning Chinese, by forming the letters H, U, A, N, G with Chinese characters)

 ... and more designs to come! :)

懒虫,写日记,不能偷懒哦!

我这几天根本没有时间写日记,我的借口就是,我这几个周经过终生难忘的经历,过丰富多彩的生活,旅游五颜六色的地方去。不过既然我好久没写日记,我没有机会把我思考想法经验等等跟网友们分享。对我每天过的生活,我还万分感谢的,日子越过越认为甚至我每天活着的实事是一种祝福!

我今天跟我的朋友过了她的生日。跟故友聚集,不亦悦乎!我们吃午饭的团员也挺多样化的;一个卜迦利亚人、一个美国人、一个韩国人还有一个中国人。我们四个人一进餐馆,就像小孩一样在餐桌上用彩色铅笔画画、签名、写信。吃午饭时,我们的餐桌被满满当当地摆了!我们四个人虽然都过不太相同的人生,不过我们基本上每天想要做的某种事情其实很像;我们都要填饱肚子、跟朋友结下友谊、好好玩玩... 还有,

坦白的话

说白了,现在已经过晚上十点了,累死了,无精打采... 不过我在中国的时间不长,千里不远地过来中国,需要尽量分享在中国漫长的旅程。这两周我通过了好几次精神崩溃的经历。我现在工作的公司请我与深圳的电子芯片工厂联系,我这十天给的打电话相当可观,不能屈指算来呢!

第一天我给公司打电话的经历特别难以形容... 难以形容地难。用中文给电话?不可思议的!我有的时候甚至用英语给较正式的电话也糊里糊涂,怎能用中文说出来呢?我特别怕给打电话,但没法儿呢; 公司要求我给打电话,不得不把我的电话拿出来,把按钮一个一个摁。

“喂,我是崔文寿,在北京 ABCDEFG 有限公司工作,与美国 HIJ 大学一起进行医疗研究,今天要给您询问本公司现在急需的产品”

我收到各种各样的回答:“Hello, you Chinese?","... 什么?”,“您好,您再给我介绍一下,您是谁?(boils your blood, 100% guaranteed)

也有一件令人出人意料的事件:
这是为了问工厂有没有我公司需要的芯片产品。

“您好,我要询问您有没有货?”
变了:“您好,我要询问您有没诱惑?”

Thankfully, the sentence above didn't turn into some creepy-butt phrase as below:
“您好,我要询问您有美诱惑?”

#BigProblemsWithTypingInChinese

我现在有的最大的忧虑就是我忙得不得了哦... 不过我把每天都安排得满满的,忙着工作、与人交流或体验困境。有太多思考愿意分享出来! 有太多经验与你愿意一起享受!

但是坦白地说,我要睡觉... 拜拜!

韩国的男女平等

跟我的上司一块儿吃烤肉的时候:

上司:“韩国社会里面男的地位还是比女的高吗?”
我:“可以说韩国还有重男轻女的倾向,但是在韩国女的控制男的。”
