一直到刚才只要从外面推开房门，总觉得爸爸妈妈还在这里。

这时才真真切切的感受到，什么是寂寞和想念。

2. I drink tea AND coffee. I love my mom AND my dad. I like ice-cream AND cheese cake. I like TV AND arts. I don't think one needs to choose sometimes.

3. I eat everything except for: cinnamon, pretzels, dr.pepper, chai, salty popcorn, and weird animals like mouse, cat or so, you name it.

4. I am not good at keeping in touch. I am still trying to fix this but one thing for sure is even if I don't see you for even 10 years, once I see you again I will embrace you the same way that it was 10 years ago.

5. I can at times be obnoxiously proud of my undergrad, Shanghai Conservatory of Music, including the music primary / middle / high schools affliated to it, the place I'd spent 13 yrs with.

6. Recently, I have developed a desire to get a dog, OR a baby.

7. I have tried unsuccessfully to write a bunch of music and songs.

8. When I was a lil kid I wanted to become a ship desinger / engineer. I even made a whole shelf of battleship models in my old home at Shanghai. I feel like my dream was coming true somehow at the moment that i got admission to Shanghai Jiao Tong University, altho from another non-ship program.

9. I'm NOW totally allergic to alcohol. That's not excuse.

10. Shanghai is always my home. My other favorite cities include New York City, Amsterdam, Paris, Firenze, Venice, and Verona.

11. I own an authentic 15 inches long Vermont teddy bear, wearing a cute sweater with my name "Yinying" embroidered on it. This is a gift from my beloved boyfriend Jason, who's been dating me for 9 years.

12. My favorite cartoon figure is Eric Cartman, from South Park. He's evil, fat, selfish, mean, but sweet.

13. I can't drive, and don't even wanna learn how to drive. I rely on my own legs.

14. I love my two lil 5-people groups formed during my high school and college. You know what I'm talking about.

15.  I always think you are smarter than I am.

16.  My dream is to have a reasonable amount of babes (range: 2-4, 3 might be better), get a PHD in the future (not necessarily these years) and live in  SOHO / upper east side with my family. One day....perhaps.....

今天jeri给我办了个party,因为是我last day,不舍得离开阿，喜欢公司的大环境，34层俯瞰time square全景，时尚的办公室，部门的同事也都很友好肯帮助人，特别我们team，工作的内容也很有意思富有挑战。不过下学期可以尝试一下新的工作也不错。到时候可以看看自己到底适合/喜欢干什么，是到settle down的年纪了。可惜流年不利，公司雷人外加frozen budget，不然有机会fulltime我也就从了。

今天一切都好，除了恶心的天气，早上出门居然忘记看天气预报，原来今天有snow storm，我完全被screwed up了，穿了UGG鞋没有带伞，结果下班跑出来发现，根本走不了几步路，最后连south street seaport都没有去成功，只好回来了。恨死纽约这种dirty snow了，恶心。

不过不管怎样也算考完了，希望我做得都做对呀猜得都猜对就算我做得不对大家也做不对，至少curve进top 10%吧．．．天灵灵地灵灵

法律周二考完的，也相当极品，三个案例google上没有一个能狗到的，基本是老师自己完全make up的scenario，而且也是线索套线索，案例套案例，大概老师们觉得自己不出难一点的题目就显得自己没有水平...

下周还有一个project report和估计更加变态的ICM考试，不是考过期中了，居然说期末还会cover first half，damn，而且好像从后半学期开始上课就一直在做飞机了，options, futures, RMBS这种基本没有彻底理解，看了上学期的final exam完全被雷到，有的连题目都看不懂err...接下去四天准备猛复习猛看猛做题．

过了下周二晚上基本就可以进入休假状态了．下下周四回家！it's been a year...

回家yy篇：

游玩：杭州，无锡，某古镇玩一玩，和家里人多呆呆，不出远门。

吃：妈妈做得菜，阿姨做得菜，红烧肉，大排，鱼，虾，螃蟹，年糕，汤圆，包子，豆浆，骨头汤，猪脚趾，看上去像灾区回来的-_-

外食：辛香汇，湖南苑，保罗，Paul，85度C，还有啥啊，现在想象力超弱

要买的东西：书！纸面膜，好玩好看的东西，考试伤脑子阿，又想不出了

还有很多要见的人，想想都觉得很忙！

看了半天capital markets才看完了interest rate swap, fx swap, asset swap和futures的一半，做题的时候被一道interest rate swap外加3个bonds的comparison，并且还套了一个fx swap涉及usd,eur,yen的极品题目雷翻，futures到时很好理解，但是我的总结是除了exchange赚了钱，别的participants基本就是避免了输钱而已，至此深刻的搞清了investment和hedge的区别。

明天law final,一大本case还没好好看，索性大家发扬共产主义互相share了case brief,这样基本只要看brief就够。希望题目不要出的太离谱就好。

周二ICM大作业DUE，spreadsheet是做好了，但是还要组织到word里，希望今晚搞定。

前面出门买了鳗鱼饭和一罐热杂菜汤，冻死了，那风吹到脸上像刀割一样，可怜我还穿了双平底单鞋，脚冻的失去知觉了都。

美国大学真的不是人呆的地方纳……

hope things'll work out as i expect
