You may get my name from the description of this blog.Yeah, Shuguang Suo is the name shown in my ID, but I would like you to call me Arthur. I like this name for it was the name of a legendary British leader: King Arthur. I do believe it is a name of patriotism, bravery and leadership.
In terms of the nationality, I come from China, one of the greatest country in the world. The 2008 Beijing Olympics has been perfectly showing China's quest for solidarity, friendship and peace. Back in my childhood, I was born in a coastal city of Shandong province. For some historical reasons, people from Shandong province are most likely given credits for their faithfulness, honesty and braveness. I often miss the old days before I left home and started my college life because I enjoyed a lot of sea foods: they are delicious and nutritive.
I am not a guy with the highest intelligence, but I do have a broad academic interest and more importantly, I like to challenge myself. After earning a bachelor degree in Information Management and Information System, I marched on my academic career toward the M.S. in System Science. The three-year graduate life was the most wonderful times with numerous good memories to cherish. I have been well trained within the classrooms as well as outside of the campus. I associated myself with all kinds of people and some of them became my close friends. Personally, I see friends as a treasure that can benefit me for life. Just before coming to United States, I touched a little bit with industry job. I worked as an intern in China Hewlett-Packard Co. with great enthusiasm and zest. That was my first job experience.
Besides, I am a big fan of sports: Tennis, swimming, workout, running, badminton, basketball, skiing, skating, hiking and so forth. One thing I need to make it clear is that I don't play soccer because China Soccer has a aweful reputation not only for the skills but for the quality of the players. I should not even take about it in my blog. It sucks.
Travelling is one of my favorite recreations. But based on my first year experience of the PHD, I feel overloaded most of time. Now I can better balance my coursework and leisure time: the dog equally study, the gentleman equally plays.
