     Finally, the goddamn midterm was over which endure for almost one month.
I think I did quite well in my exams, especially in courses I\’m interested in.

I\’m taking three courses this sermester, Principle of communication network
(EL 536), Internet architecture & protocol (EL 537) and Probability (EL 630).
Except for Probability, I\’ve got midterm mark for the other two courses.  For
EL 536, I got 92 points in total.  Average of this course is about 75 and number
of people who got over 90 is 24 over about 100 students.  It\’s quiet sad that
my mark is NOT included in top 15%, which means I have to study hard to get higher

score so that I have opportunity to earn an "A".  Similarily, it\’s also very sad that

I got only 89 in EL 537.  Average of this course is 80 and there are 15 people got

over 90, total amount of this course is 98.  In other words, I still don\’t get into top
15%.  Anyway, I might have few probability to get "A" in these two courses.  For

EL630, I have nothing to say.  I gave all I learned in undergraduate school back to

the professor after I passed that courses.  And I don\’t think I\’m studying Probability
but Calculous.
      Some of my friends might think that I\’m kind of hypocritical because I told them I
didn\’t do well in EL 537 and EL 630, but it\’s true I didn\’t lie about that.  Actually, I\’m
not that kind of people who always told others that he didn\’t study or prepare for exam,
and then get high mark.  It\’s not a shame to tell people I\’m studying.  Since I\’m not that

smart so it\’s reasonable to spend more time on studying.  Back to the exam. for some
questions in EL 537, I was really not sure about the answers, so I said "I didn\’t do well
in the test but the mark will be acceptable.".  I knew my answers were not 100% correct,
but quite close to what it chould be so my mark would depend on the professon.  For EL 630,
we\’ll see when I receive my mark on my poly in few days.  It will be a miracle if I got over 80.

      I really appreciate Prof. Chung and Prof. Hwang.  I learned a lot from their class so I have
such a good performance now.  I hope I will keep my motivation to study for all other exams
like now.

      By the way, the fianl is comming soon which begins at the end of this month untill one week
before Christmas.  Wish me luck.
