Finally done the preliminary report.

That last week was a tough one. Mr Chen gave us a one week deadline to give him a preliminary report and do a little presentation for the senior management. It took us 8 days straight of working 10 or more hours a day. On tuesday, the day before it was due, we stayed until midnight working. The work is interesting. I am definately learning a lot about using excel and dealing with budget figures. Unfortunately, I was too junior to attend the presentation for the senior managers, so instead I got to sleep in for the first time since I got back from China. It was nice.

I got my grad school applications out yesterday. Even though they eventually let me in last year, I am still nervious about my chances this year. If I don't get in, what will I do? If I do get in, I will have to move again, this time back to Ontairo. Even though I spent a few months idealising Vancouver while I was in Beijing, it is pretty clear that Vancouver is still a provincial city. Grad school in Ontairo is going to be useful as a bridge out of the small West Coast.

Tomorrow, I will go hang out with Vincent again. Should be fun, I look forward to it.
