On event-planning and organizing

This year I have doing some event-organizing. I have not done any event organization before this year, in fact before last June.

Anyways, I had helped out with Research Day 2013 and CHBE Christmas Party.

UBC APSC Research Day 2013

UBC CHBE Christmas Party 2013

Both of these events are very successful, thanks for all the hardworking committee members and some of my helps. 

I learnt plenty from these events, such as I don't have to know someone very well to work with them, the biggest variable in event-planning is human factor and so on. But I think, the most important thing I learnt is that I don't have to be a genius to be part of an organizing committee, and I'm actually capable of doing what event organizers are able to do. 

I felt a tart more confident with myself and my own ability. Special thanks to Dr. S and Dr. L for allowing me to do all these things aside from writing reports and papers and reading journal articles.
