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.

strong-minded?
One essay question of UT Austion asked us how your friend will describe your defining quality, and Jill told me she thinks I am strong-minded...
Am I?
After that interview with Nancy, an admission officer from Emory, some changes happen. She said that my English is not good enough for MBA and also suggested me some language programs. It's good for me. She reminded me to face the truth, which I avoided to deal with for long time. I know my conversation is not good, but always think maybe I'm not so bad. When somebody else got a good job offer, I always told myself they could get that just because of their fluent English. However, how can I improve my English and make myself to peer with them? I never take actions!
It's time. Today I sent out the application materials for International Business Communication Program of U Penn. I've made my mind to improve my listening and speaking anyway. Keep in mind that my work won't start from the course starts, I need to take actions from now. I have a lot to do! Don't full around! Keep walking... and working~

我亂了....
Tell the truth, my image of those schools is mostly from their rankings. But rankings always change, and also differ from different evaluators. I always deny that it's the standard I use to choose schools; I always claim that I really research those schools by myself. However, when the ranking changes, I'm confused. The school I normally consider good, such as UT Austin, is ranked #36 US MBA program, even worse than BU. I'm totally confused!!! I consider BU a not rigorous school, where the curriculum is not solid enough. But now its ranking rises to #28, I don't know if I can still hold my thought... Or it's already changed.
