Nothing is really happened until it's been described.
— Virginia Woolf
While I am reading, I take notes. However, I am far from neat. My notes scattered all around my room. As time goes by, it becomes very difficult to find them. I need a central deposit for all those notes. A natural conclusion is here, my personal cyberspace. I can access it anywhere, any time. However, sometimes I am too lazy to type up them. Here, let me make a resolution: whenever I take notes, I will type them up, put them online, for my own convenience. Of course, if you happen to come across these notes, be my guest, I hope you enjoy.
