So what have I been doing after my Internship? Well...
- I got into the actuarial program, and I am going to start working on January.
- I am also studying my ass off for my MLC exam.
- Learning Japanese is not as hard as I thought it would be.
- Math modeling seminar is not as easy as I thought it would be...
- Cryptography is a fun class, except my English decrypting ability is not that great... (give me Chinese!)
- We are going to read Becoming Jane Austen, I Am Legend, and The Road for reading group, and we are going to watch those movies at the Lyric during Sunday midnights... Horay for free entrance and free popcorn!
- I am thinking about getting a DSLR... HD TV, PS3, GPS, IPOD, etc... after I get a car... >_<''
- Plus a trip to somewhere at some point...
Panda sent me this mv.
P.s.: I wanna eat mooncake for mid-autumn festival! Meh... >Q<
I was refreshing soa website and forums so many times that I felt like my wireless mouse was about to die any minute!
All because of this little pdf sheet...

I am not hallucinating about me passing... right? right?? @_@
Two exams down, too many more to go! Yayy for ducky~
Then I emailed some people who I am going to work with this summer about the news.
Less than 5 minutes, one girl called and congratulated me!
That was fast! And most importantly, I am sure that I will enjoy working there as an intern.
Everyone seems so friendly and enthusiastic.
I can't wait to learn a lot this summer!
And now... it's time to party! \(^O^)/
This morning, I took my second Actuarial Exam FM at MacComas!
The interesting thing is, there were only three people taking the exam.
All of us are students at Tech.
One undergrad, one grad, and one phd student.
All of us were interviewed with the same company, and got second round interview.
Now I just need to wait for 8~10 weeks to get my result back I think... @_@

Study aboard = Mr. lonely ducky & panda
Time passes too fast. It's almost 2/3 of the semester!
That means... 4/3 more semester to be together.
Bah... don't wanna think about it right now.

I think I failed my Finance exam this morning... Ah well~

A conversation between a friend and I:
"A: My dad is short, so he's abusive, even to my mom.
S: My dad is tall, and he's a pimp."

OMG! I got a second round interview the first time in my life.
Usually my interview process is: hand in resume --> first round interview --> waiting for the reply that I never get...
But this time is different! I am going to Atlanta for two days, and I am absolutely excited about it!
One more exciting thing to add is that I will be done with my Exam FM by then. No more worries and stress! Yayy~
For now... time to study. Boooo~ >3<

It's such a small world after all!

So I just found out that I didn't fail my Finance exam. It's actually above average.
Not bad considering I've skipped 3 out of 6 classes for this one. Yayy for sisi. (chu chu for panda).
Eating a bowl of spicy chili with an empty stomach for four days straight is not a smart idea. Never again! Unless... there will be another cute t-shirt as a reward. But next time I want a size small dammit! (Yea... the guy was like: "do you want a median, large, or extra large?" Do I look like a XL to you?? T_T)
On the way to D2 (that's where chili challenge was held), I was thinking about how much stuff I need to do once again. Literally, I was either working, studying, doing homework, or sleeping this week. It's like nap is the only thing that can make my day brighter. Now since panda's gone to DC for his field trip, I realized that even thought we were together all the time, I haven't really "looked at him and only him for a while". I want to cuddle with him like what we always do, but without thinking or worrying about anything else. Right now I feel like I am so selfish because I only think about my own stuff. He cares about me so much that it's just not fair to him. When can I do more for him? Sigh. Maybe... after the actuarial exam on Nov. 7th? That's such an excuse and b.s.! Gah I hate my selfishness!!
Some important things that I need to do for next week:
Sorry if I look like a zombie or being grumpy. That just means I need more sleep... Yez... Sleep is goooooood!

Information Session before B's interviewFri:Plus I have to study 10 pages of actuarial study manual per day on average.

(with cuddly panda pillow of course!)
Ps: Give me an actuarial summer internship! ...pretty please?
Currently:
- Start studying for Actuarial Exam FM since yesterday. (Yes, another exam, and the study manual is 626 pages long.)
- Reading Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets at work. (Yes, I only read it during work on PC)
- ...... (Maybe I should start watching another drama! lol~)
Conclusion: Life is tedious right now.
Let's talk about something serious. There's one thing I can't decide right now. I have no idea if I should go to graduate school, majoring in Actuarial Science; or if I should go work right after graduation. I have to decide this soon, so that I can start to study for either GRE or Exam FM. They say that being an actuary is about "earn while you learn". You don't have to go to graduate school to find a good job, since experience is more important than diploma for this career. However, my mom said that bachelor degree is not enough for finding a good job, so it's much safer to get a master degree. But I don't know which one is the truth about this career. From what I know so far, your salary depends on how many exams you have passed, not what kind of degree you have. Is that true in reality? I really don't know...
PS: Here's another peek-a-pooh picture, along with my stoopid face because of someone's request... (you know who) >_<''
