Diary-After 2nd quarter at UCI
(1st paragraph)
----original----
Today is the second day of my third quarter after a week of spring break. I was trying to write down what I felt during the last quarter right after the quarter ended, but it has been a little bit delayed due to my visit to Chicago and the visit of my friend from South Korea.

I took four courses during the last quarter, and it was eventually shown as a big mistake. It seemed capable of being handled as I always took at least more than six courses during my undergraduate, but the severity of each class was totally different. In fact, the class itself was not demanding, but due to the fact that two of the classes included group projects and I took a class from computer science department, which is not my major, I could not afford any break during the quarter.

During the last quarter, I took four courses, and I must admit that it was a mistake. While I had handled at least six courses during my undergraduate, the severity of each class was entirely different. Although the courses themselves were not demanding, two of them included group projects, and one was from the computer science department, which is not my major. Consequently, I had no breathing space during the quarter.

Nonetheless, I believe there is growth after hard work. There were three main improvements that I obtained during the last quarter: breaking the barriers to entry to computer science, improving python coding skills, and expanding my knowledge of link-based traffic flow theory.

I worried that it might be very demanding if I took several classes at once, but I was eager to do it because I wanted to break the entry-barriers into computer science. My area, transportation engineering, is closely related with computer science, and many of my alumni got a job in this part. So, I wanted to experience and break into how the real level is and wanted to figure out whether or not I can compete with them. While It was really hard to follow up the lecture, I could overcome the barriers and successfully finish the course.

Initially, I was worried that taking several classes simultaneously would be too demanding. Nonetheless, I was eager to break into computer science since it is closely related to my area of study, transportation engineering. Many of my alumni got jobs in this field, and I wanted to know if I could compete with them. While it was challenging to keep up with the lecture, I persevered and successfully completed the course.

The most demanding stuff that I had to struggle with was the term project to replicate the paper that I am interested in. The paper was to model carpooling's ride-matching system using a genetic algorithm. The publicized genetic algorithm package was not applicable in this problem, because constraints like time windows, and spatiotemporal constraints must be addressed. Thus, I had to code all the processes in Python, and I had to struggle with the code several weeks to devise every-detailed framework and debug errors. I could not fully describe the algorithm due to undiscovered cause of errors, but I cannot forget the moment when the algorithms got operated. Through this struggle, I could enhance my skill in Python, and my understanding of ride-matching systems with the genetic algorithm. I truly believe it will be a great asset to my near future as a Ph.D. student.

The most demanding part was the term project. I had to replicate a paper that modeled a carpooling ride-matching system using a genetic algorithm. Unfortunately, the publicized genetic algorithm package was unsuitable because it failed to address crucial constraints like time windows and spatiotemporal constraints. Therefore, I had to code all the processes in Python and spent several weeks devising a detailed framework and debugging errors. Though I couldn't fully describe the algorithm due to undiscovered errors, I cannot forget the moment when the algorithm worked. Through this process, I enhanced my Python skills and understood ride-matching systems with a genetic algorithm better. I believe this will be an asset as I pursue my Ph.D.

Lastly, the traffic flow theory course was very impressive to me. We have a prestigious professor at traffic flow area, and it was great fortune to get a class of him this quarter. his class was based on his book that was published recently, which made the contents in his lecture notes consistent with his book. The contents were very mathematical and quite complicated but the consistency made me clearly understand the traffic flow models covered in this class. I strived to fully understand these, and I could get the highest score in this class.

This quarter was very demanding, so I could not afford to relax my life. However, it was very rewarding. I missed several parts due to a lot of load, but I am supposed to make them up during this quarter.

While this quarter was demanding, it was also rewarding. Although I missed several parts due to the heavy workload, I plan to make them up during this quarter.
