Back to Basics

"Life doesn't always turn out the way you plan."
And certainly this wasn't my plan. At least until last year.

Ever since having finished my undergraduate study, I always wanted to go back to the U.S. for studying at graduate school. But, I realized it's not my goal. And met my new employer who encourages employees to study foreign language, accounting, law or anything useful for the job (and future one). It even subsidizes a part of tuition. So, why not now?

Last couple months I prepared my essays, submitted documents and had interviews. And just got my admission letter this week. Starting in September, I will be back to school for studying advanced financial theory and practices.

Imagining to work from 9am through 6pm and to study weekday nights as well as weekend, I feel a bit of dizziness. Perhaps though it is more like going back to my high school days. The three years I studied from 7am through 10pm at school. Yes, next couple years will be very hard, but just like back to basics, getting academic stimulus and excitement.

Knowledge is Power.
To fuel it though needs energy. Hopefully my energy (i.e. my dream!!) is sustainable, and never dies!!

What if my gas is running out? Well, a Starbucks is just three blocks away from the school :) What to worry about?
