I still cannot believe it's true that I've won myself such a large scholarhip! I'm so so so happy about tha, and it eliminates my hesitance of attending UT Austin! ( I sometimes still thought about the $20000 offer from Georgetown.)

USD 305...
It's the price distance between LA and Austin.
If there is no surprsing good news, I'm going to Austin and Hank will go to LA.
I thought it will be not that far between these two cities, cuz they are both in South....
But after checking the airfare....the cheapest ticket costs USD 305. It means we'll not be close.
NOT close AT ALL!!!! Wooooo~~~~~ I wanna cry.....Cry very loud!!!!

04/05 in JFK
I’m in JFK right now. When I finished check-in and security check, it’s just 8:40, three hours earlier than my boarding time. The good thing is I just need to wait here, without carrying my “everything” luggage, which has given my palm blisters.
In States, I become more Taiwanese, listening to Jay’s music and eating rice, just as JongSe said that he started to need Kimchi everyday when he is here. This trip is ending, and I get what I want, though not really those in my dream. Now I know, actually I always tell myself, everything will be conquered when I really want to do it.

One-day Trip to Washington DC -- Interview with Georgetown
If there is nothing out of my expectation, this is my last interview. From USC, UCLA, Kellogg, UT, and Georgetown, I think my performance must be improved. Ha-ha, actually I haven’t felt I performed badly in interviews. I don’t know why USC just gave me waitlist. On the day Hank got the admission and I didn’t, I was extremely depressed and cried and screamed almost the whole day. Maybe I am really not qualified…. I don’t know.
Georgetown Interview
The lady interviewed me is a second year student who concentrates in Strategy and has got an offer in Northwest Airline. I always make the interview very relaxed and like talks between friends, so there are no special problems I feel uncomfortable or difficult. Oh, she asked me about the strength and weakness. Haha, thanks to the UT interview, I answered it easily and naturally. I prepared this question for UT, but they didn’t ask me it. Mmm….Hard works will eventually work.
Actually, Georgetown will not be the place I wanna go. Maybe it’s due to my mood and condition. I tried to do the sight seeing to utilize the value of train tickets, so I walked around those historical spots. Therefore, when I headed to Georgetown, I was already very tired. In addition, I spent a lot of time to get a cab, and when I arrived there I couldn’t find any food to buy. It’s different with what I expected. I thought there must be some simple food I can grab so I felt very disappointing. The building of their business school is really not big, though it’s historic. B-school even need to share that building with other schools. Maybe it’s reasonable because their program is truly much smaller than others’. However, it still makes me feel bad. Ha-ha, it sounds all my complaints are related to the essential needs – food and space. Maybe those are low level considerations, but it will be important when that school are not really that top and attractive. I think Austin makes me feel better.

heart-broken
It's my turn.
It's time for me to face the cruel truth.
Today, I was rejected byUCLA and Berkeley, at the same day.
On 3/16, when I got rejection letter from Emory, I tried to tell myself this school was not really where I wanna go. But now, I don't know what can I say, what excuse can I make, and what can I do.
I get lost.
I lose my way home.
I lose my way to the future.
I don't know where I am.
I don't know where my way is.
I don't know.

Cruel News
Hank received a mail from NYU, notifying him that his application status has been changed. He nervously checked the website and found the result of "waitlist."
It's so cruel~ He applied for 1st round so got the notifications earlier than me. I'm so afraid of facing those serial shocks. Especially in March, I'll be in Penn lonely.
