2013-05-11 Deep Cove Hiking Trip and R Gui

I went to Deep Cove today with my girlfriend for a hiking trip which was organized by UBC Graduate Student Society. The trip was a great chance for me to socialize with fellow graduate students and  It was a cloudy day and enjoy the greenery scenery of Deep Cove, North Vancouver. From the picture below, you can see that today was a cloudy day, with chances of rain.

 

But the trip turned out fantastic! The sun came out in the late morning. When we successfully reached the Quarry Rock after a 1 hour hike, the breathtaking view simply took my breath away!!

We had a brunch at the famous Honey Doughnuts & Goodies, and had a specialty doughnut. The food was good, but I had better doughnut (shown below).

After a good day of relaxation, the things that I am going to do are (1) to learn R, a statistical programming software from Youtube and (2) to talk to my parents.

 

Youtube is a great source of knowledge! A lot of times, simply reading doesn't allow deep understanding of a topic. An interactive video will usually offer a more comprehensive insight into the matter.
