Just got back from my Boston's trip, besides the long delay due to storms and burrr cold weather in Boston, I love this trip absolutely. part of me, deep inside of me feel alive, well-connected the spirits there, encouraging me to pursue.
The main purpose of this trip is to attend MIT SDM open house and this year SDM conference. Ever since I returned from my China trip, I put a lot of time to think through how I want to move the next step, but keep not getting a clear picture. I was hesitate to go to this trip but decide to go, to find more information about what I decide to do. I know that I will move out of current place, just matter of time. When most people worry how they could get offer, I got couple amazing ones in hands already. My hot potato is how to execute the plan, how to link each step well, making my own unique linear graphic here. Am I too engineering? Though the schools are very famous, I'd rather to select well based on how education helps my career growth and realize my dream, instead of bragging the fame of school. So, I went on the Boston trip.
Needless to say, I love MIT, like being a nurd in a right place, not feeling odd and getting funny looks from people. That is true, with my own oddness, sometimes, I found very off-beat with most crowd, but in MIT, feeling just in nature. Do not brag how smart you are, as you can always find someone who is smarter than you. Do not show off what you have done, as you can always find someone who did more amazing stuff than you. Here, you learn, you absorb, you dive in with clear vision.
Open house is much like a routine work. I went to check out the financial air and housing. The living standard in Cambridge is way high. Well, there are some drawbacks here, probably this is one of those things I need to get used to or deal with. The fun part of day 22nd was meeting with all current students and alumni. It is a small program with 30+ students. ye, you will get very inch of attention from professor and staff members. is that great? I do not want to be one of oven popseed muffin, rather getting what I am looking for. During the reception, I talked with an elder gentleman who sat next to me, for over an hour we discuss the relationship between engineering design and business strategic planning, fascinating! In the end, he said, "are you ready to be in my class?" ehh?? what class? He is Prof. Tom Allen, will teach one of core courses to me soon. cool!
Due to the time difference, 3 hours between east and west coasts, I keep reading my new book
