Very fortunately, I have finished my certificate with a perfect record. It’s not an easy job, but if I couldn’t handle these associate classes, how could I deal with the graduate courses? There will still be a lot of tough tasks waiting for me…

Take a screenshot with the excellent job. ^_^

暑期课程注册成功&耿家菜

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

Then state a specific fiscal policy that you would recommend in a recession, give an example of someone who will directly benefit from it, and describe the process of how it will affect real GDP. Then state on weakness, negative side effect, or cost of using this specific fiscal policy.

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.

My books come back! Maybe God bless me indeed.

When I worried about my books, and didn’t receive response email, I got two missed call in my cell phone. Thinking that maybe the call from local UPS, I called back. To my surprise, it was someone who received my books and she wanted to give them back to me.

Her name is Bali. She said she got the package at the front door yesterday, and noticed it was delivered mistakenly. Fortunately, there was a label with my name and phone number on the package, so she called me.

Where were my textbooks?!

The spring semester began on Tuesday, two days ago. I had been waiting for my two textbooks with over 150 bucks.

Today, the books should be delivered to me , but all I got was air. I couldn’t wait anymore, so I checked the track number through the UPS, and it was indicating the package had been delivered at the mid noon. I was so surprised that how dare the damn UPS saying so.

That was 150 bucks! What I thought was to contact UPS immediately. The phone should be the most directly way to get it. So I dialed the 800 number:1-800-PICK-UPS (742-5877). (This was the first time I dialed an alphabetic phone number. Before that, I had not known how to dial the letter on a telephone. At least, I learnt a little from this event.)

Time passed so fast. It is almost the end of this semester. And it is the time to take the final exams.

I got A’s for the first two exams, which made me very happy. One was General Business, the other was Excel 2007.

I studied all night for the Business, and finally I made it! In my scan chart, 93% was printed which meant I made progress than the earlier ones. According to the past exam scores and other records, Susan calculated my final grade to be “A”. She gave me a hug for congratulating. I did appreciate her for teaching with passion and communicating with me, a so-so English-speaking foreigner, with patience. I will miss her. Why not take a photo with her next time?

In the Excel 2007 exam, I was pretty sure I could make 100% again, just like the other two exams before.
