Finally, they got my application

How long it take to procede a application document from one office to another office? The answer is 1 month ( already under my pressure ). I just cannot imagine how efficient their office will be? Exactly they took 2 weeks in one office and then filed the document and then moved to another office. And the document was just sitting there for another 2 weeks. ( I think it might just in front of the lady's desk. ) After the long process, calling them, e-mail them, and sincerely remind them....they finally got my file and put it to the desk of the admission director. ( another 2 weeks to review, another 2 weeks to inform me....?? ) I understand why the successful rate is 65 out of 1500....it is because they just have the energy to handle 65 of the application and the other 1435 applications are still at their office. When I called the lovely lady, she was very eager to talk to me and complain about her assistants who are supposed to do all the works ( the works are passing the file to...

Waiting.......

I am still waiting the application result of MSc in Financial Mathematics............... Using probability theory, the successful application result is only 65/1500, which is very very low....

To Karson Chan

Karson, the application documents were still not yet received by the instituition of Mathematics. I just sent them a e-mail to remind them. Suprisingly, during my reviewing those old e-mail, I see something very encouraging to me. The Sec. of Admission replied my first e-mail about the application and she stated "....As your degree is not at least a 2.1 BSc you may be required to pass additional mathematical hurdles set by the admission Director before being made an offer...." It's already very encouraging to me because she did not reject me. And she give me a signal that I still have a chace to be admissied. Yes, I should insist and put effort on the application and prepararion! Until the last moment, unless they reject me. Otherwise, I should still do my work. Also, my input / my hardworking is still benefit to myself. I should keep my hard work up!!! Do you understand the excitment I am feeling now??

Lazying in the office ( Part II )

I finally speak out I want to resign. Although It's quite suddent, for me and also for the company, I just cannot keep silent further. I feel guilty for my mother cos' I am not working hard. She always "worry" about us. Surely her worry is not positive but, it is a concern anyway. ( .........it is not easy to find the line between necessary concern and unnecessary control......). She sometimes do "good heart but bad skill" things .... : P The art of interpersonal skills is a very difficulty to handle. I think & think again, I am only a medicority, ordinary, trivial, lazy Kongie. Now, I have a few things I want to learn and imrpove. I don't know how far I can go. But, It doesn't mean I shouldn't try. ((( All above is only "water blowing", nothing is creative, constructive, comphernsive at this stage.)))
