台灣加油！

Did you guys know there's a Tokyo Institute of Technology? Yes, that does mean that their acronym is tit. This is not a laughing matter! Just kidding, I laughed for a good 5 minutes.

Taiwan economy is doing really well. I'm so happy. First of all, HTC revenue is amazing and ASUS is working things out too. With Apple shifting their production parts to Taiwanese suppliers it boosts job opportunities and helps out the stock market. For the first time I'm going to say GO APPLE, though you guys know I'm against them. To tell you the truth... I'm almost being converted to the dark side. This whole Taiwan thing is encouraging it. :) Anyway, I bring up Taiwan because I've made a decision. I have 5 top graduate schools that I want to get into (they're mostly private fml). I don't know if I'll get into them or not because the admission percentages are really low which isn't all that surprising because they're top tier. I kept saying that undergraduate schools don't matter because it's true. It doesn't matter where you're going to go for college because each B.A. or B.S. degree is exactly the same, so why pay more for the same thing (this holds true unless there's a specific major offered at a particular school that isn't offered elsewhere, or if that school is well known for a particular major)? However, graduate school matters. The training you can receive at each school differs based on their facilities i.e. you can go to a school that has the most up-to-date technology or you can go to a school that does abortions with clothes hangers. Obviously I would rather go to a school that uses something like this instead of butter knives. Anyway, you guys get my point.

So, this is what I've decided. If I don't get into any of the five that I feel would prepare me the best, then I'm going to go to Taiwan for medical school and I'm going to stay there for... who knows how long and get fat and eat delicious food. This isn't all that spontaneous. I've actually been thinking about it for a while. That's the plan, for now at least.

Have you guys realized that Junior year is always the most dreadful? High school: SAT's and classes were most difficult. College: applying for graduate schools + DAT/MCAT/GRE's + upper division classes (well, more of them). At least there's only one more Junior year left... that is, Junior year of graduate school. Unless you guys are in business and can get your MBA in two years or are going into a one year masters program then you can avoid the dreaded year. As for the rest of us... 加油! 파이팅! がんばれ! ...how do you say this in English? Go? Do it? Good luck? ...hmm English lacks a valid translation.
