April already

It is April, but the weather just like January, cold and rainny. When I left Iowa, I would say one of reasons for the move was that I had a hard time in winter. My right leg arthiritis killing me through the entire winter, though I dressed myself with every possible clothes I found, just imagine a panda, which was me vividly then. Living in Northwest, I tried to live with the rain, most time fine, since there are mountain, seafood, water etc. But, I know, now, I am ready to wrap up my chapter and start the next one.

Patience, is never a good visual charater inside of me. But so far, life has truely tested me on this. I tried very hard to keep myself busy, sometimes even in sane. oh, do not get me wrong, no compalining here, I'd rather to be busy than boringly wonder and wait. The new quarter class is Strategic Management, taught by a Oxford graduate Prof. Her English accent totally reminds me of Melissa Albeck, one of my fun nice international friends, currently move back to London. My last quarter Advanced Financial Accounting, I was not happy with my final grade. The prof. challenged me to retake another final, if good grade, replace, if not, I will stuck with new grade. aha, what a heck(is this a cursing word, hope not)! The more people challenge me what I can complish, the more I will take in and tell them that they are wong. so, I made a "deal" on this. In May, I will retake a final. This quarter's readings are fun and A LOT. Talking about killing my printer, enn, I think I need not only buy more papers, but a new printer. I found myself that my fast-reading skills get improved.

Today, PMI told me that I got my membership. So, I am going to proceed to take PMP test. www.pmi.org This is the best Project Management credencial ever in the world. It is not just like a test you need to prepare. You need to have years experience and required training(and continuing trainings). I want to challenge myself to this test to give me a level that where I am in PM. I am sure these study and busy schedule will occupy me during this waiting time.

Am I making this blog like a laundry list? Here are some fun reading I did. Lately just read many good books.
