About Me

My Name is Helen Gong. Currently, I am enjoying a one year long maternity leave. Time passes so fast. I can't believe there are only two months left before going back to work. I still vividly remember the happiness of being pregnant. Gourmet food was the only daydream in my mind, although I had difficulty to drag around myself because of 50 pounds extra weight. My son Felix was born in May 2009, an experience I can never forget. Now He's almost 10 months. He starts getting very adventurous and loves to play "driving mommy crazy" game. I've been constantly working in the past 8 years. It is my first time taking a long break. I enjoy so much being with my baby boy and cooking for my wonderful husband.
How can I forget about lovely Ellie. She is 3 year old mix breed between American Eskimo and Collie. Kind of barky and jealous sometimes, but She shares so much love from all of us.
My husband Patrick designed and built his dream house. It's about 30 minutes away from downtown Toronto. We are moving in next month. He still has great plans to continue renovating it, especially his man's cave. But for now, the most important thing for us is to make it baby friendly.
MET648 is my 2nd online course with BU. I had a little bit confusion in the first course as I have never taken online class before. But it turned out to be a great experience. My bachelor's degree is engineering in Metallurgy. MS in IMM is equally challenging but much more interesting for me.

  2. Helen,

    Congrats on completing your first class. I understand the first class can often be the most difficult. I recall my first class being Marketing and I barely made it through. Conversely, all the next 4 class I did very well due to "learning the ropes" of the first course. I think this course is going to be real fun. I really like the idea of the blogs and find the material being just as interesting. Of course, being in IT for 15 years doesn't hurt either.
