Other Elective :  "Advanced English Writing"(HSS391, 3 credits)
Total(Fall Semester, 2010): 19 credits
Total: 160 credits


Let me briefly explain about each courses:
Operating Systems and Lab is considered to be one of the most difficult courses in CS Department. We are learning about so many things, that I can't even describe it .
 This is how the grading system looks like:
42.5% : midterm and final exams
–42.5% : projects
–15% : homeworks& class participation
As far as I know there are going to be 5 projects, which we'll have to complete during the semester. I hope I will successfully pass this course.
Network of Things:
This course is being taught be 5 instructors.  We study different networks, about what kind of unique perspectives on network research is brought by different disciplines. (Lecture #1, CS340 Network of Things, Fall Semester, 2010, KAIST). I love everything related to Social Networking(such as Facebook :) ).
 Calculus II:
Based on the course description:
"This course deals with differentiation and integration of multivariable real-valued functions, emphasizing basic concepts and applications."  Reference: http://mathsci.kaist.ac.kr/en/education/courses.php

Introduction to Business Management:
We are learning about the many concepts in business. As professor told us that we'll feel business, because we'll have to do business right after the mid-term exams  and create a value(as more as possible). Well, let's see the way how it feels soon.
English Short Stories and Advanced English Writing:
Even though I don't have to take this courses, but I want to improve my English Reading and Writing skills, and my my total credits to be exactly 160 credits. I love the courses from Humanities & Social Elective Other Elective division.


Also, I have a plan to participate in South Korean Championship among the students (Taekwondo, WTF). I'm planning to start training from the next week, regularly from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. in the newly built Sport Complex. Come and join is, I'm sure you will like it.
I hope everything works well for me in this busy and at the same time full of new exciting things semester. Fighting!!!
