good news from my office.
so the weather is pretty nice today. i went to work early because of my jet lag. it was nice to see people around. And a good news is that one of my co workers got into her dream medical school. she got accepted into all the schools she went for interviews and eventually chose her first choice. She does not stand out from the crowd very much; but she was calm and gentle, and she has her wisdom and her ways of getting things done. she is one year younger than me, but is so determined and faithful to pursue a career that requires much time and work. And I seem always to worry about things i don't really need to worry, and am always afraid of things that are no need to be afraid of. So when I heard her news, I was so happy for her and at the same time, for myself because i see another glimpse of hope.

hmm..u are not alone there, I hesitate to go to gard school again. first not sure if i can do well on the test, second not sure if i can get into my choice, third not sure how to pay, and last the job does not pay well in design (unlike doctor/lawer) except u are like a famous designer?
but for sure: i'll have to take xx,xxx loans and end up in financial prison, which means i can't establish my own family or support my parents...or even buy an apt. (except i have a supportive spouse, who is like i don't know where he is??) and i probably have to work for a job that i hate in order to pay back loans. and i have to ask parents for support during school--that does not sound good. i thought i was determined cause i really want to pursue my dreams, but hesitate from time to time...
e.
I can understand how you feel. Yesterday, I went to have lunch with Derek and his friend, Atsushi. They started their conversation about PHD program and Atsushi mentioned that he has accepted into a fellowship program for his PHD. It seems like we eventually will find out what we want to do, but it just we have to be firmed in term of our decision. I feel it just a decision making processing that we all have to go through and to struggle with.
If we want to study in graduate school, we have to have our interest in it. Because we have interest, so we can put more time to learn about it.
It's kinda weird, because I saw that a lots of people know what they want when they are in their late 20s. -LL

I really like the way you say it, ll.
it's so true. most of people are just confused about their lives and goals when they are young. 杨澜 the famous host, said something really nice in one of speeches she gave in a college. she said that being youthful means you are given chances and capitals to try and to make mistakes.
E, keep having a faith in your pursuit. I am always inspired by your determination. let's work hard all together, girls.
