Sophomore year is too eventful. If I don’t write it down… I’ll definitely forget how exciting my life was.
Southern Welcome Event
The department holds a welcome event for new students before enrollment—North, Central, and South each have one. This year’s participation was low, probably because everyone thought the phone calls were scams. Because of the lack of hands, the person in charge kept persuading me over dinner the night before. Plus I really wanted to surprise the two friends I hadn’t seen in a long time. After hesitating for a while, I finally paid for the ticket one minute before the booking deadline—a day trip to Tainan. To avoid being spotted, I hid at Shin Kong Mitsukoshi until the time came. At the meetup, the plan was a huge success: they: _ “What are you doing here!!!”_ The train fare was worth it. But in the end, we only took a photo at the station as a memento.
Eating Eating Eating
Before school started, I didn’t do much—just ate good food every day.
Yongxin Desserts
This place is on Zhongxiao Night Market near Taichung Road. It’s a bit of a walk from the dorm. But if you’re going there for dinner followed by dessert, it works out. The ice is good and affordable—but remember to save stomach space, or you’ll get too full.
Wool Waffle
This one is on the street opposite Nchu Road, you need to discover a new continent before finding it. I ordered the Margherite—basically waffle with cheese on top. I’m not good at writing about food, don’t push me to write more—I just want to share nice food photos. Anyway, everything’s delicious (✪ω✪)
Ko-Jiro Curry Shop
The one I ate is at the Shenji New Village. There’s another branch near Taichung Park. This is the best curry I’ve ever had. Though a bit pricey, it’s really good.
Curry Soul Egg Kalihundan
In the alley on Nchu Road, unlimited rice refills! At night it becomes a bar, but I’m a sophomore and haven’t been yet.
Bonnie Sugar Handmade Dessert Shop
First time at a dessert shop, achievement unlocked! The food was delicious and great for photos, but the money flew away~
Summer Camp
No spoilers for now, or I’ll ruin it. But I actually already wrote about it—just commented it out. Think you can see it by going to the repo? No, I’ve locked it~ Speaking seriously, camp takes 12 hours a week, half of it at night. You basically don’t get enough sleep and are exhausted to death. Seriously, don’t be fooled into joining as staff.
Guitar Club
The guitar club is preparing for new member recruitment lately—practicing songs, making the banner. So busy. But busy in a happy way. Though everyone doesn’t know each other that well yet, they’re all quirky great to chat with. Need to give props to our art and design partner—super powered. Enough talk, here’s the banner!
- New Member Event: 10/1 (Wed)
- Location: NCHU Auditorium
Come watch me play solo!
Magical Research
LaTeX
Playing is playing, but I did get some work done too. Learned LaTeX the past few days. Digitized my notes and put them on AFFINE. Now I can view them anywhere, and they look better too. But recent classes haven’t been many, probably because I only have 18 credits and don’t feel it.
Course Gangster
Not planning to release part 2 yet because the cookie problem isn’t solved—the school’s cookie is http-only. Might settle for manually copying from F12 next. As for the school’s course number dictionary, I heard the school has a public API, so shouldn’t be a big problem. Will post after testing next semester.
Flipper Zero NFC
Haven’t been carrying my student ID lately, just use flipper to open doors anyway. The campus door access map is being drawn. Some doors only check card numbers, some have weird settings like AC POWER FAILURE, etc. Will post a map article later. The next goal is to open doors without copying cards. Once it’s done, will definitely open source—the information online is really scarce. Welcome anyone who wants to join to reach out.
