thursday

yeah, i know it's wednesday today, but for some reason, i just keep thinking it's thursday.

got through a presentation today and it seems fine. in the middle of it, i sorta stalled and suddenly don't know where i am and what i'm doing. it's scary, but luckily, i got my partner by my side, so i just looked at him, and he took the sentense and finished it. serious, i didn't expect this could go this fluent, just keep talking for 15 minutes. i guess because both of us understand everything, and that's why.

i did bad on a midterm. yeah, it's one of thost that you think you did well but actually doomed on it. nami tries to calm me down by saying "his exam is tricky", but it just makes me feel worse. tomorrow in class, he better gives me a detailed explaination on the exam, otherwise, i'll have to argue with him. to tell the truth, i wish it's his grading mistake or something like that, but i don't think so......

summer plan? hm...good question. actually, exactly a week ago, i was at the bottom of the deep ocean and can't see the light from above, but last thursday, i got three phone calls. first one is from a software company in irvine. it's really close, but it's unpaid, and what they are doing is not my interest, therefore, i've decided to refuse this offer. second one is from a hardware company in georgia. great company, but it's not directly related to my major. somehow related, but doesn't apply directly. in that case, with a F-1 student visa, i can't take it.

so?

so, i'm going to beijing for this internship. this one came in last, but actually fits me the best. i can go back home. yeah, by home, i mean China. beijing or shanghai, it doesn't matter, as long as i'm in china. at least beijing and shanghai are only 3-hr flight. plus, Olympic is also taking place in beijing. i don't think i'll have time or energy to go though, but at least i got a chance. this summer, i felt i've stepped into the real world. i might be disappointed, i might be enjoying it, i might be exhausted, but i'll take that challenge no matter what.

Great! I can do it!
