A busy winter break

School starts on 21st Jan, my birthday. What a good note to start with.
That gives me about a week before I will delve into the craze for the next semester.

I think I need to push back learning programming in java and C++ . I don't need to know them urgently. There are more important things to attend to right now.

Meanwhile, I am preparing for chemistry placement exam. Not much progress. When the worst comes to worst, I will either delay the test to a later date or I will just take the class anyway later. Another promised "A" though.

The biggest work lies in transfer applications. I need to fill in those forms, write rosy essays again, ask for recs from professors and dean. I have to somehow get in touch with my JC to send a secondary school report. I will try to ask if the admissions office can send a copy for me. My current picks are MIT, Stanford, U Penn and Columbia. The good ones which has aid for me. Good chance is that I will stay in Swarthmore and give in to the bubble and live the best life I can. If I can go and try i-banking or attend MIT for grad school anyway, I probably should not worry too much about staying in lovely Swarthmore for another two years.


How about the coming summer? Do youth project in Wuhan? Find an internship?(kind of late). I will not stay at home for another three months. I'd rather work part-time in Beijing, Shanghai or the US to do whatever I can find.
