Impressive

Talking to my friend Jerry in MIT Sunday night, I learned a lot. Can you believe it, two Chinese speaking only English on the phone. I do not remember since when, we have never spoken Chinese to each other. He is MIT system design master program, which he shared with me a lot of his study experience and confusion at this moment about what kind of job he is looking for after graduation. He has a very strong determination on his career. Our friendship could chase all the time back in 2004 when I started realizing that I would like to switch to business side instead of staying in technical side. I checked out a few schools that year. Meanwhile, he got the offer from Carnegie Mellon. But he chose to take a new task setup a new office in China for his company out-sourcing. Last year when I went back home, I visited him and knew that his new office grew significantly. A year later, he came to MIT for this program. During the conversation, I expressed my plan for next year. He recommended me to talk to one of his friends. After couple emails, I can his friend Danxia on Monday. How could I describe the conversation, well, Impressive!! I got my thoughts more clear and know that is what I will go for. I was so thankful for this person's time and efforts to share all of his experience and knowledge.

When I type this post, it is already in Independence Day. This will be the 9th one I have in U.S. yesterday I took my parents to meet Governor. She is so much down-to-earth and easy to talk to. I told my parents she is my highest boss for me now.
