No turning back
No turning back~ No turning back...
I am attending a conference called "Hedge Fund and Associated Risks" at U of Waterloo campus today.
Had a really nice little conversation with KenSenTan during the coffee break. I was so surprised that Tan speaks perfect mandarin and he is a VERY CUTE YOUNG scholar. Although a group picture-taking stopped our conversation, he left me a very good impression.
The first talk in the afternoon will be given by Phelim Boyle... very exciting about it.
He is currently working at the B-school at WLU, not UW anymore. As an ex-sole player in the Stats-Fin program, his leave is also a partial reason that turned down UW's offer.
I keep telling myself "no turning back" and try to be focus on my own work without thinking too much. Hope I will be fine.

I made a decision
Finally I made a decision.
Sent a confirmation along with the money order on Monday... gonna withdraw UW's application later.
No matter what I chose. I wish I will be fine.
The ultimate goal for me is to obtain a satisfactory Q.F.A. placement after graduation.
To be honest I am a little anxious about whether I could do well in MMF and find an internship.
I need to work now.

A hard decision
What a week!
I had a money order ready for the MMF deposit on Tuesday. On Wed I got the Waterloo's Mfinance offer too!
I am so surprised that I can got accepted by Waterloo. That program usually admitted only 12-15 students each year and many of them are already PhD holders.
I am quite happy with the result. Now here comes a question--where should I go?
MMF has a better location and takes shorter time(12 months), but more expensive(36000-17000+living expenses).
Waterloo's program takes longer time(16 months) and it is probably harder/more technical (I ask a past graduate from that program, he is a Math PhD and still found it was quite challenging). I might struggle a lot in Waterloo.However, it has funding support.
Both provide internship opportunities.
I personally know the MMF program better. The only drawback to me is that it's a self-financing program.
A hard decision.....

Big presents!
Last night I didn't sleep -- I was preparing for Waterloo's MFinance Program interview. Got up at 6:00am and went to UofW campus by train. I didn't do very well -- kinda disappointed...
On my way back to London, I got a call from the MMF program at U of T. I got accepted! What a gift!
Thanks God! I know he was listening to my pray!
Now, my current coursework at Western is a mess. I'm going to the post office to pick up a parcel from my dear mama and papa before clean up this mess!
Ciao~~

Back from swimming
Just came back from swimming.
To be honest, I am not a good swimmer, yet.
Now I am going to at least finish the 504 assignment due tomorrow before I go home today.
Then I need to make a good plan for my schedule.
There are just so many things gotta do in such a short time.
Once again, I pray to God for persistence, calm and wisdom.
Now, let's start working!!!

After visiting Waterloo campus
Visited the Waterloo Campus on Feb 27 2007.
Took the exam at the Math Computer Building.
Got a notice for interview on the next day.
However, I can't turn that target/pressure to a driven power.
I wasted the rest of the reading break.
I feel regretful and frustrated.
Now it's AM of March 06 2007, Tuesday.
I am still drifting around.
Just prayed to God.
May him grant me the calm, persistence and wisdom to overcome the obstacles.
I will follow him...
Now let me study.
