Interview with Ming

On February 14, 2001, Vance met up with Ming on ICQ and found out a little about her plans and interests. Ming said we could put this on her web page:

Ming: (4:16 PM) busy, busy, busy......
Vance: (4:16 PM) hi ... doing what?
Ming: (4:17 PM) class assignments.
Vance: (4:17 PM) When do you graduate?
Ming: (4:17 PM) might this coming fall term.
Vance: (4:18 PM) with an MA?

Vance: (4:19 PM) in what?
Ming: (4:19 PM) can I add you in my list? since I damage my pc last few weeks....

Ming: (4:20 PM) CIS; I am still thinking about change to Macs(Math & computer science) or take MAth as a minor
Vance: (4:21 PM) and then what will you do?
Ming: (4:23 PM) find a job first. If later get a chance, I want to keep working and find the way for studying in school. Just a plan
Ming: (4:23 PM) how's your teaching?
Vance: (4:23 PM) So you will stay in Oregon? Is your family there?
Ming: (4:25 PM) I might stay here for OPT, but later it depends where I can get the job. My family is not here but my mom support my decision. It's a good chance to do that before I go back to my country. I do not think I want to spend my whole life in USA.
Vance: (4:25 PM) actually I don't teach except online. I used to teach (for 20 years). Now I am responsible for computer use at a language school.
Vance: (4:25 PM) That would be good to stay in Oregon a while. Where is your mom?
Ming: (4:27 PM) that still take a lot of time to do. I have a parttime job on campus(I am a monitor), This page(the center I worked for) might can help you a bit for language teeaching.

Vance: (4:28 PM) Which part of this page do you like best?
Ming: (4:29 PM) ummm, might be visual language. That help self study a lot

Vance: (4:32 PM) so you study the Atlas books?
Ming: (4:33 PM) no
Ming: (4:33 PM) do not have time to do that
Vance: (4:34 PM) oh, which part of this page do you like?
Ming: (4:34 PM) the design
Vance: (4:36 PM) oh, do you mean you designed this page?
Ming: (4:39 PM) nop; I did not do web coding job for our center; I just like their design, it's more considerate the user part and is a friendly GUI, I think.
Vance: (4:39 PM) ok, I'm going to have to run. I actually do go and run, btw. Do you mind if I put this chat on your web page to help others get to know you better?
Ming: (4:40 PM) since you say you help school the language learning on computer, I thought that might give you some idea.
Vance: (4:41 PM) yes, of course. Do you think I can make the Webheads pages look like that? Would you like to help?
Ming: (4:42 PM) I do not think people can know me better through this chat; I just introduce the page I did not make abit effort at all! But, if you want to put it to some page, that's fine to me.
Vance: (4:43 PM) ok, you mention your studies and your plans and also steer students to an interesting site. thank you. I've got to go home and get ready for my run. Nice talking to you.
Ming: (4:44 PM) yap; but you need to have a plan first. What's the main prosal for this page, what functions you want to implement? what references we can put it on? ......those is the things before starting to code it.
Vance: (4:44 PM) Well, you know the webheads pages. What about starting with just your page? Then you could help do others.
Ming: (4:44 PM) that's my pleasure that can contact with you again. =)
Vance: (4:45 PM) ok, bye now
