Yes, II rejected the CUHK offer

After ten days of nursing my left foot, I am back running. It feels a little uncomfortable in the first 500 hundred meters, but after that, it feels normal. In the future, I wish I will be more careful.

Procrastination on my thesis is a big theme for me this quarter. I am busy in thousands of things, and they give me perfect excuse to not looking at my crappy thesis at all. Now things are winding down, and I hope I will be break enough to open these files over this spring break. Also, my paper is rejected from Social Forces, and now I need to revise this paper too so that I can submit it to other journals. Still not much information about law schools and post-docs. I just hope I will not be stuck with a worst case scenario.

I am going to teach a class this spring quarter. This will make a good quarter for me, and also add a nice item to my resume.

Spanish final exam is coming. I am review the book one chapter after another. I think I have a very good sense of the language now. I can read well, with the assistence of online dictionary. If people slowed their speaking enough, I can catch a phrase or two. Just finish the piano class. I can play some simple scores after several practices. My music reading is bad, but my muscle memory is pretty good, thanks probably to my dance training. I think I should play several pieces really well, so that I can show off once a while.
