About Me

I am a freshman at Duke University studying Biomedical Engineering. I hear the workload starts to get overwhelming after the first two weeks. It is already overwhelming and we are just entering week three--I can hardly wait. I like to eat lots of food. Lots and lots of food.

Course Work

• FRESHMAN YEAR
  • 1st semester:
    • EGR53
    • CHEM31
    • WRITING20 (Coming of Age at Duke)
    • MATH103

Name Pronunciation (apologies to Dr. G for the lack of originality)

Matthew Lu --- "ma-thew lew"

Chinese name: Lu Shen Xing --- "lew shun shing"

Recent Realizations

• I got a bike from The Outpost and it's been a blast. It takes 8-10 minutes to get from East/West (which is faster than the C1) and it ensures at least 16 minutes of exercise a day---just what the doctors prescribed!
• Marketplace is another scheme for stealing all our money...at least the food is good. We'll see if that changes in a month or two.
• I have bags underneath my eyes!

Favorite Matlab Demo

I enjoyed looking through the "Other Demos" section. I really enjoyed playing the MineSweeper demo---I had 3 bombs left to sweep and then I lost...Apparently you never have to guess in that game, but I haven't figured out the logic behind it yet. I enjoyed this demo because it was a good use of 5 minutes and it was nice to take a break from work and play a short game of minesweeper.

Signature

I have none yet...but I should work on creating one. I'll go with the default for now:
