Update

I'd love to give you an update here. Nothing exciting happens though.

Remember that I told you that I had a very bad interview a couple of weeks ago? Well, it turned out to be not bad, as I was invited for an onsite interview scheduled for next week. I am also planning to go back to China during my Thanksgivings holiday. Probably I will be able to see my Niangniang for the last time. Her health is deteriorating very quickly. She does not hear well, and she cannot speak well any more, and she begin to lose track of days. I hope she can hang on for one more months so that I can say good-bye in person.

My class has been well. I had a bad lecture on Monday. I prepared too much materials, so I got nervous. As spoke faster and faster, my English could not catch my thoughts, and my breath could not catch my English. It was pretty aweful. Fortunately, on Wednesday I revamped my approach of the lecture, preparing a little less materials and increased the classroom interaction. I think I did quite well yesterday.

US stock markets are doing very well, so are my mutual funds and my stocks. What stocks I have? I have five: AET, COH, MRH, WMT, MOT. I used to have FDX, AEOS, and XOM, SBL. I got out early with a profit, but I could profit more if I had held on them longer. It is very unpredictable.

I began to take a computer science class this quarter (because I thought I might work for this high-tech company soon). It was very time-consuming, but I think I was born as a natural coder. I think I will eventually excel in that class. Sociology might be the long detour between my career as a techie.

I am going to get my eye examined next week. I am also going to see a dentist very soon. I ate well and slept well. And I know I am going to get quite a few jobs offers by the end of the year.
