¶ Preface
Following the previous post, which covered my coursework in the spring semester of my first year, this time I will talk about extracurricular activities and research. My only extracurricular was the Fine Arts Club. Compared with my undergraduate years—interning everywhere, contributing to open-source projects, and participating in communities—this semester felt much simpler. Because I decided to take my master’s program seriously relatively late, I was already behind when it came to exploring directions and finding a topic. Still, this semester I found a research area that genuinely interests me and also settled on a topic, and I began working on it over the summer.

¶ Preface
This semester felt like the happiest semester I have had in the past two or three years. It was fulfilling: I took four courses, still participated in the Fine Arts Club, wrote quite a few posts, and found a research direction and topic. Studying CS really is a joyful thing. Broadly speaking, my M1 spring can be divided into three parts: coursework, the Fine Arts Club, and research. This post focuses on coursework.

My days at National Taiwan University (NTU) have entered the fourth year. Without noticing, there is only one year left on campus, and it makes me very reluctant to leave. From entering NTU from high school to being about to graduate, I have changed a lot—going from wanting to be a physicist to becoming a software engineer, and changing my favorite sport from swimming to tennis. I have gone through so many things that I often even forget that I once experienced them: GIS Taiwan, the Green Collar Agricultural Market, internships at multiple companies, and all kinds of talks, among others.

My days at National Taiwan University (NTU) have now completed a full three years. This post records my life from junior-year winter break to junior-year spring in the Department of Bio-Industrial Mechatronics Engineering (BIME). The storyline can roughly be divided into three parts: research, coursework, and extracurricular activities. That said, even though I study in BIME, most of the stories are not actually “BIME stories.”

Before I knew it, my college life had already entered its second half: junior year, fall semester. This semester I took 19 credits, but I compressed them into three days, and arranged the other two days for a company internship. There is not much to say about coursework. Basically, I had already decided to develop toward software engineering. For the required BIME courses, I only wanted to scrape by and pass. I did attend most classes, but I did not put in real effort, and I did not care about grades. I spent my time on research and improving my software development skills.
