Talking to Martin about nanotechnology in lung cancer

I saw Marin in the cafe, and I talked to him about that girl. Then, he invited me to go to his lab to show me their work. He was reading a paper about using nanotechnology to diagnose and cure lung cancer. In their lab, they were working on bio-mechanic tissues to be used in lungs for diagnosis of lung cancer. Since my thesis was related to lung problems, I decided to go know more about their project.





I am working on a tele-medicine software platform; Martin is working on bio-mechanic tissues; I know that even Justin is working on wearable medical sensors; I am so happy that we can study here. In fact, we are working on projects that were impossible to do in our home country. And most of these projects are very useful for people.

A super amazing girl in the cafe


I was in the cafe that I saw a super amazing girl came with two of her friends. Her friends were Chinese, but she was an American girl. She completely distracted my attention, and I couldn't study my courses anymore. I watched her. She was very friendly and kind. When she was there, some of her female friends came to her table, and she hugged all of them. They even took a picture together. She was also very playful. All the time, she was laughing and joking with her friends. I haven't seen anybody like her here in the US before.

When I was looking at her, I noticed that how similar was she to my first love. It has been many years, but I unintentionally look for her in other girls. I don't want to think about these things anymore.

She touched that Chinese boy's hair several times, and said something that I couldn't hear as I was sitting far from her. To me, she was super friendly. I saw one of our university policemen went to their table, and started to joke with them. I wish I could do the same. He was a super friendly police. He was also a very nice person. So, I decided to talk to him.

I talked to that policeman after he left the table.
Me: "Do you know the girl who is sitting there?"
Officer: "Which one? That table?"
Me: "Yes."
Officer: "No. I don't know them. I usually go and talk to people. Why are you asking?"
Me: "I am interested in that girl, but I don't know how can I go and talk to her. Can you do that for me?"
Officer: "Look. If you like her, you need to go there yourself. 15 years ago, I met a girl sitting at a table in a cafe, and I liked her. I went to her table, and I talked to her. It is 13 years that she is my wife, and I am very happy because of that. If I didn't do that at that time, she was not my wife now."
Me: (Wife??? It is too soon to think about these things. Can she be my wife? Why not? She is good, but who knows? If I gonna marry someone, I like her to have such a friendly personality, but? OK. It's a long time that I am thinking. Let's finish this conversation first.) "You are right, but she is with her friends. What can I say to her?"
Officer: "You can ask where the library is."
Me: "I know where is it. I am here for at least one year. Do you have any other idea?"
Officer: "I think it is OK to go and talk to her now, but if you want to find her alone, I suggest you to wait for it. Today is Wednesday. Next week, Wednesday, you may find her here alone."
Me: "Can't you and ask her name or any other information that I can find her again. I know that she will go, and I can't see her."
Officer: "I want to remain neutral in a relationship."
Me: "Neutral? It's not a relationship. It is just a simple friendship :)"
Officer: "Whatever. I can't do anything for you."
Me: "OK. Thanks for your help."

I sat there again to wait for her. Eventually she left her table alone, and I packed up to follow her, and talk to her. I was one step behind her that she went straightly to the library and sat at a table with two of her other friends. "Come on. How many friends she has?" I thought to myself. She saw me at the library, and I decided to leave there because I didn't want her to think that I am following her.

I went to my class, and left everything to the destiny. When I came back out of my class, I went to the cafe again. Unbelievably, she was there. I decided to call Henry to find a way. When I was calling him, she passed in front of me alone to go to another building. I wanted to say something, but I had been dull. Then, I thought that I may lose her, so I went to the other building without knowing that where she went. I sat at a chair in the other building to call Henry again. I was talking to Henry that she passed in front of me again, and saw me again. I couldn't talk to her. I thought that it was better to go to my office because it was my office hours.

After my office hours, I came to the cafe again. Guess what. She was there with so many other friends. I stand in the line of buying something, and I saw her exchanging her number with a boy. I don't know if he was her friend, or they met today, or anything else. I saw that boy in the morning when he came to her table, and talked for a while and left. After that, she left the cafe to the other building. I stayed at the cafe waiting for her. I thought that since her friends were there, she will come back very soon, but she never came back. I really missed her. It has been more than a year being in the US, and I haven't seen such a girl before. Maybe she was not that beautiful, but she was so kind and friendly.

Starting to work out again

I started to work out again. I think that I need to build muscles instead of loosing weight. It should be a good plan.

Austin trip - Day 2 - To the home

We walked in the city for half an hour, and we went toward our car.




For lunch, we got some sandwich from Wathaberger.


The road back home was very crowded. It was rare to see such a stop-and-go in the roads. Hanson shared her point of view about marriage and girls with us during the way. He also told several stories from his childhood and school time. "You won't have any shared experience with a girl who born here. You can understand my stories, but they can't because they were not in the same situation as you. There are very a few things between you and an American girl definitely." Hanson said. He was right, but who cares?

Austin trip - Day 2 - Blanton Museum of Art

We visited Blanton Museum of Art first. It was next to the campus. 



It was prohibited to take photos in most of the parts. So, I just took a few photos in the allowed sections.


During our visit, I saw a very good-looking girl who was a guard there. Since she was patrolling in some areas, I saw her several times. She made my heart beat fast. "I want this. I want someone really make my heart beat so that I can hear it. Why can't I find anyone like her." I thought to myself. I wanted to go and talk to her, but it was priceless to do that. So, I just watched her from the far. I saw her talking with another boy in the museum. I don't know if he was her boyfriend or just a visitor.


I told Henry and Hanson that I liked her. "Do you say something to her?" Henry asked. "No. I didn't talk to her. Why?" I answered. "I smiled at her, but she gave me an awkward look." Henry said. "I know this look. It is when a girl loves someone else, and she tries to protect her heart. I saw it several times in my life. Good for her love." I thought to myself.








The museum was very amazing. I really liked its sculptures and paintings.


I saw that girl again with that boy outside of the university. "I wish I could find someone who could be special to me." I thought to myself.



Austin trip - Day 2 - UTAustin 2

Later, we decided to see UT Austin campus again as Hanson was not with us last night, and we had been seen everything in the night. The campus was beautiful and large.




We wanted to see a history museum near campus, but we didn't want to pay a lot for that; so, we decided to explore free museums first.




In the museum store, there were key-chains that were blinking. I liked it.


Austin trip - Day 2 - At the Startbucks

The second day, we decided to go to a Starbucks as Hanna was going to join us.



It took an hour to find the cafe, and Hanna didn't come. Hanson was not happy because of that. He started a conversation about the girls and not keeping their promises. Henry and Hanson shared their experiences with me. "As far as you are the number of a girl's concern they care about you; otherwise, they only care about their number one. If their number one is their job, then they let you down because of that. They simply can't be caring for two things at the same time." Hanson said, and Henry agreed. During his conversation, I was only thinking about Taylor. She is not successful with her personal life maybe because her number one thing is her career. It can be devastating to any relationship.


It was my first time inside a Starbucks outside of my university. The environment was friendly, and there were so many young alone girls there who were studying their books and papers. I see that why people hang out here.


Hanson was not happy because of Hanna. "She promised to come with us today, but she didn't even care to give us a call." Hanson said. I had a very long conversation with Hanson about being more carefree. I tried to convince him to be more carefree. My point was if you use to being more carefree about the people, these things won't annoy you. However, he kept his position that everybody should care more and more about all the rights.
