之前申请OPT,tnnd,不但没批下来,还给我放了两个hold在我的registration上,让我注册不了summer class。啥玩意儿啊!

所以今天不得不去CCSF搞summer session registration。

去Int’l student administration找一个叫KIM的人,请她暂时把hold给remove掉。还好是个能讲广东话的人,交流起来就容易多了。她了解我是要在summer之后才申请OPT,就把hold给暂时取消了,还很热心地帮我把那个certificate的petition给交了。(光那个petition,我就跑了两次office,人家不收,说非要等到6月13日才能交,但Int’l consultor告诉我说现在就可以交了。这里的机构,也不是那么有效率的。)

反正这个summer的课程注册好了,就可以为我的OPT时间延长两个月,对找工作是有利的。弄好了就松下一口气。

 

晚上我和爸爸、妈妈一起出动,做了五个菜出来,让他们吃吃我们“耿家菜”的滋味。妈咪的秘制鸡翅最受好评,爹地的豆瓣煮鱼也很不错,我的番茄炒蛋也就只能帮大家增进食欲做个配角了 :P

真是太好了!

婆婆心里的大石也放下了,我们也为她高兴,半年多的辛苦治疗也值得了。

祝她老人家健健康康,逐步恢复元气。

爹地妈咪来看我了!

高兴呀高兴,真呀么真高兴!

今天父母不辞万里(准确点来说是一万一千公里),飞到了大洋彼岸,看望阔别了三年(这是我妈说的:头尾三年···)的他们的宝贝儿子,也就是俺啦~~啦啦啦啦啦~~~我是卖包的小行家~~

二舅父开着车去到机场的时候,他们已经顺利出关,拿好行李,在路边等着我们了。我几乎没等车停稳,就夺门而出,扑向俺深深牵挂的爹娘。

经过了十几个小时的长途飞行,老爸老妈看起来有点倦容,让我心里阵阵发紧。特别是妈咪,声音明显哑了,让我想起平日她高亢热情的声音是多么的好听。爹地的手有点凉,看来一件长袖再套个短马甲也还是不够抵抗阴影下的冷风吹袭。

赶紧把三大件行李搬上车,让父母坐在后排,我做他们中间,紧紧搂着左边的妈妈和右边的爸爸。

我真的好想好想好想你们啊!见面的时候太高兴,写这些文字的时候,突然很有感触:

一年半了,横跨着两个春节,让两个老人冷冷清清地在家里,看着不看无聊看了更无聊的节目,和丫丫说着不知道它懂不懂的话,而他们的儿子,却远在天边,归期也遥遥无期。这是一种多么难受的思念之情啊!我知道,但我体会不到。

爸,妈,给你们做儿子是我最大的福分。我爱你们。哪怕从未说出口。

High risky Investment Plan & feedback

Below is my final essay of FIN 138 Principles of Investments in CCSF, including professor Needham’s feedback.

Warning: do NOT copy!

 

High risky Investment Plan

Goals & Risk Tolerance

In current several years, I am merely a none-income international student in the U.S. I have save funds for my education, but apart from little interest from saving account, my revenue is almost zero. That how much money I can use in investing is $10,000 in which I can bear 5K lost.

The estimated fund needed for my long term goals is around 3.6Million in current value. Given the inflation 3% through next decade, it will be 4.9M. It seems like a huge number. That’s the reason I need to learn more about the investing in order to help me achieve the goals.

My risk tolerance score is 30, which means I have an above-average tolerance for risk. The goals previously listed have been adjusted – the original amount was more than 5M.

I think investing is not the primary method for me to make tons of money. However, it is definitely an efficient way to help me reduce the heavy burdens. Let me set my investment goal to be 1M. How can I turn the initial 10K into 1M in ten years? It’s an immense challenge, which means I need a 55% return rate per year during these ten years. It still sounds impossible. No problem. Let’s see how much I can get at the end.

I have a dream last night.

What it is about is not so matter, the interesting thing is all dialogues in the dream is in English.

It’s so vivid that I can repeat it to piggy. She says it’s great for me to dream in English. Because that means my mind is trying to work by English.

Haha, I dream I could think and speak as fluent as in the dream.

人生致命的8个问题,你想过吗?

问题一


如果你家附近有一家餐厅,东西又贵又难吃,桌上还爬着蟑螂,你会因为它很近很方便,就一而再、再而三地光临吗?
回答:你一定会说,这是什么烂问题,谁那么笨,花钱买罪受?

可同样的情况换个场合,自己或许就做类似的蠢事。
不少男女都曾经抱怨过他们的情人或配偶品性不端,三心二意,不负责任。明知在一起没什么好的结果,怨恨已经比爱还多,但却"不知道为什么"还是要和他搅和下去,分不了手。

说穿了,只是为了不甘,为了习惯,这不也和光临那垃圾餐厅一样?

——做人,为什么要过于执著?!

问题二


如果你不小心丢掉100块钱,只知道它好像丢在某个你走过的地方,你会花200块钱的车费去把那100块找回来吗?
回答:一个超级愚蠢的问题。

可是,相似的事情却在人生中不断发生。
做错了一件事,明知自己有问题,却*也不肯认错,反而花加倍的时间来找藉口,让别人对自己的印象大打折扣。被人骂了一句话,却花了无数时间难过,道理相同。为一件事情发火,不惜损人不利已,不惜血本,不惜时间,只为报复,不也一样无聊?
失去一个人的感情,明知一切已无法挽回,却还是那么伤心,而且一伤心就是好几年,还要借酒浇愁,形销骨立。其实这样一点用也没有,只是损失更多。

——做人,干吗为难自己?!

心情忐忑去杀鸡 掩面泪奔还家来

分数:570,Q47,V22…..我真不好意说,都差成这样,还好意思混CD么?丢人,给CDer丢人!但为了激励自己二战努力奋发,豁出去了!我要不提高100分,我就···我就···我就承认自己是二百五了。(考试费很巧合地是250美金,难道是预示?My God!)

背景:英语底子差,单词量严重不足。虽然现在在美国读所谓的书,但,真的很费力,看一版英文教材都得费10分钟。对了,这里是5月7日,其实是国内的5月8日。大家别忘了要和妈妈说点什么哦
而且,鄙人已是超三的大龄考生,记忆力貌似已经超前退化到半百古稀之程度,唉,时也,命也~~~希望大家要是能趁年轻考,就考了吧。

业余备战一月,只做了OG的SC, CR和数学的部分,临考前1周模了一套PREP(很神奇地,分数就是我今天考的分,所以心里早就已经蛋疼地接受了这个不耻的结果),其他主要时间都是用来背单词了···
结论:GMAT考得是硬功夫,没有平时点点滴滴的积累,是一点办法都没有哒 ╮(╯_╰)╭

少有人走的路-The road less traveled

一本很不错的心理治疗方面的书,主要聚焦于人的自律。仿佛人如果能自律,很多精神思想类的偏差就能得到纠正。

他的逻辑是:人的精神偏差来自痛苦的折磨,痛苦是源于人心灵的不成熟,而自律可促使心灵成熟,所以应该大力提倡人的自律。

他解决人生痛苦的四项原则:推迟满足感,承担责任,尊重事实,保持平衡。我基本同意,并且对第一点有较大共鸣。
