新学期 要开始继续准备啦！

March 7th, 2019, Thursday, sunny
(ps: In order to better use English, I just try to record something in English(Chinglish). But if you find any mistake in the article, please leave a comment, I would appreciate you and correct my mistakes, thank you)
I try to record my daily life in English, today is the first day.
I am a little lazy recently, have no interest in anything, just think every day is so boring, everything is of uselessness. I want to change my mind and spirit, refill energy and motivation for myself.
I figured out where and what the problem is, I don’t have a clear goal, just imagine daydream. How foolish I am. What a fragile girl am I, how foolish a girl am I, what a shame.
It is time, it is time to make some changes. It is time to recognize myself. It is time to make a clear flag and detail strategy to achieve it.
So about English examination:
1. TOFEL > 105 in three months
2. GMAT > 710 before five months
About paper:
1. insisting reading a piece of paper each day
2.finish at least two papers in this semester
About other certification:
1. pass CFAII
2.fianl examination > 90

Detail plan to achieve my goal and make my flags standing:
1. one hour for listening
2. two hours for TOFEL examination
3. reading news in the morning everyday
4. at least two hours for reading paper
5. two hours for CFAII study
6. two hours for GMAT preparation
7. writing daily in English every night.
8. running half to an hour a day
All above in total is about 10 hours a day!
Monday to Friday: From 7 am to 12 am, from 1 pm to 5 pm, from 7 pm to 11 pm, in sum is 13 hours
In the weekend I could have a rest but at least study six hours.
Hey, girl, fighting, try your best to prepare for my Ph.D. application. Success or failure, your future is in your hand.
Maybe too many tasks, I would adjust it to adapt my pace of real preparation and implementation lately.

March 8th, 2019, Friday
Today is a busy but rich day, my task is a little bit heavy, I need to make some changes.
In the morning, I listened BBC news about Ebola in Africa, I was moved deeply by the poverty and disease that stick these poor people. We live under the same sky, but enjoy the different source, society is never equal, at least not absolute. Another news is about using genetic method to keep young and live for hundreds of years. Actually, it is hard to accept to me, because I think it is the limited length of life make life more important.
I write some reading notes about how to prepare a piece of paper, and finished reading, I also wrote an article and polished it. I scan five papers in the JIBS, just abstract and conclusion, and tomorrow I will read detail about two of them which attract me.
I have no class today, but have to discuss with my groupmates about a competition which need to put up with the case paper before march 10th, so I could not squeeze time to study CFAII, I am a little worry about this exam.
I didn’t run today because of my cold, I wish I could exercise tomorrow, maybe just walk around in the playground.
Today I also received gifts from my parents, it swept my bad emotion about unfinished tasks, I need to improve my efficiency and try to complete my plan.
Good night, in a hurry to record this boring daily.

March 9th,2019, Saturday, cloudy and windy
Today I finished:
1. a whole set of TOFEL (reading + listening + speaking + writing)
2.a chapter of CFAII (reading 28)
3.200 words
4.reading about how to write article
5.read a piece of paper on case study about business model innovation
5.an hour of listening (news and a video briefly introduced Steve, Jobs)
6.I am just….emmm and weather is not suit for running
7.now, I am writing my daily
Keep hungry and keep foolish! And I LOVE JOBS.
About TOFEL, I could finish reading and listening in time, but could not control time very well in the speaking part (sometime leave ten seconds, sometimes have no time to complete my expression). As for writing, I couldn’t finish two articles separately in 20 minutes and 30 minutes. What’s more, I need to accumulate more examples to cite and support my arguments.
1. summary some sentences and logical expression
2.recite and memory as many words as you can
3.listening details and find a good method to note key points during the listening process.
About paper, I like case study, I prefer qualitative research than quantitative research. It is interesting to induce from special to general which need a huge accumulation on wide knowledges and theories.
Money and deadline are good driving forces, I need to further improve my efficiency.
No good night, I need to stay up because my tutor sent my several files just now.
Fighting! 😊

March 10th, 2019, Sunday, windy and cloudy
Today is a very exciting but busy day. I uploaded our case paper at the last minute, work and review my paper for the whole day.
