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.

Dear Littlez,

I wish I knew you before you made a decision between these two programs so that I could give my hands to you.

From my humble experience working with top guys and coming into a top program can totally open my view and lift the standard as high as possible. I was fortunate to be able to work with two top guys in Canada during my studies in Canada.

Waterloo's program indeed reaches the goal providing a very important training on rigorous thinking, which is very crucial from a long term career development point of view.

Sincerely,

Jason
