A turning in my life

I almost have sweared to go abroad to have my further study. And I have prepared a lot for that of course. Spending a lot of time to prepare for GRE test, to write CV, PS and search for information of the US Universities made me busy to crazy some days ago. And I even looked down upon the schoolmates who chose to go on directly to the graduate study in our Fudan University. Yes, I know. It is another kind of inertia in my point.

So I tried my best and applied for schools, even including some top ones, such as Princeton(Oh my god!), Columbia, Duke. Well, besides I was hunting jobs anyway, just want to leave a way back for the unexpected failure of all the applications.

In one's life, there may be dozens of surprises. But you can never make the superises lead you to any directions you do not want to go. The only formal interview in my life is successful since I was not on purpose at that time. It is Opera Solutions.

When participated the interview, the only feeling I have at the first time was that it was such interesting communication with Franklin. He is such a nice guy. And by the way, I have a good chance to practice my English since it became worse and worse after I came back from Europe.
However, I passed. Luckily, Franklin passed me to the second round of interview. Anyhow, I remind that I even have never failed in any interview from my childhood no matter whether it is formal or not, like the one for being CEO of Club Administration Office or the one for going to Spain to be an intern.

When in the second time, I indeed had some physical problems. I felt not so good. So my status is just like in a dream. I even cannot remember how to pronouce tropsticks when Mathew interview me. And when trying to solve the problem proposed by Don, I even could not concentrate on the problem. But I know I can. I can achieve anything I want to.

Finally I solved it, with the different but correct answer. Now I think at that time even Don might be a bit surprised with the girl who may be good looking but seemed unable to work hard and made him not so satisfied at first glance after solving the problem with the already one time of failure. It is a tough procedure to have any interview in a company, especially an international company in which you cannot use your mother tougue to express yourself and you also have to show the best "yourself" to get the chance of entrance. Even after graduation from a US University with master degree, I can imagine how hard the procedure would be.

After the interview my life became quiet again. I went on preparing for the application. Only a little bit moments, before I fell asleep, I hope that I can pass the interview so that I need not to have once more to fight so hard to change my character from a student to an employer. That is a gap between the campus and society.

Good news always comes suddenly. When I nearly forget the interview I have, I got the offer call in a moring even in my dream. Don called me oversea to note me that I was admitted to the company and decribed some details of the job. The good chances, good salary and good industry certainly attract me a lot. By the way, many friends of mine told me that you are so approriate to the industry of management consulting because you have talent and love it.

However, for me, it is also a hard decision. I have expected to continue to be a student in a beautiful campus abroad for a long time and almost never thought about to stay in Shanghai to work. But the opportunity is a step closer to my dream. And I told this to mom.

You know what, That I could grow up healthily both physically and mentally is a huge contribution from the truth that I have a dad depressing me and reminding me forever and a mom encouraging me and supporting me forever. Yes, mom said she would support me whatever decision I made.

I choose to work.

A normal day

It is a normal day today which is too normal to have anything special. But I would like to write my blog suddenly, going on to memorize my life and thoughts. Well, dad and mom are just both at home today which is so rare. Dad is busy and have been out for so many days that I have just met him only 3 times after I came back home.
These days I stay alone at home without going out, without friends and without anyting I was farmiliar with. Several days ago I bought many books at a time from book store and determined to be a bookworm again and thus immediately found that to be a bookworm is such a happy thing. It is pure and quiet, which makes me think about a lot these days.
A piece of unbelievablle peace in my busy and fast-paced life~~
