Moving~~

After graduating for almost one month, I decided to move out of San Francisco. I'm going to Los Angeles !!!!

Why?? Ohh~~ It's not because that I have already landed a job there, but simply because my aunt lives there and I'm gonna stay with her to save rent. I think it's a pretty good strategy, since living here alone I have to pay almost $700 rent per month. Staying with her and her son, I can save more money as well as taking care of each other easier. Furthermore, I can look for jobs down there, too. There might be even more opportunities in LA than in SF......

I've packed almost everything already, only something left for the rest of the days staying here. My room is a mess right now since the next tenant has already moved in. She's a friend of a friend. Her name is also Betty and she's from Taiwan too. She's here for the MBA program in USF and we even have very close birthdays...What a coincidence!!!! We get along pretty well and it's amazing that the timing is just a great match! ^___^

Anyway, I'm moving down to LA this Thursday. Saying goodbye to my friends and being emotional are the two primary things I did these days!! Last night, I went out for dinner with the other Betty. When we finished the meal, the waiter brought us the lucky cookies. I picked one and opened it, said the little notes inside: " You will travel far and wide, both pleasure and business." Oh My God!!! I wish this saying is really going to come true!!!

New life will begin very soon and I'm looking forward to it. ^__^

Graduation!!

After one year's rigorous training, I finally graduated last week. It is good and bad. Good is that I am done with school; bad is that I am under unemployment......

The economy this year is really bad, especially for financial industry. Almost every bank went south since last year and continued to write off millions or even billions of lost. For me, graduating at this moment is unlucky. Plus the change of the immigration regulation and the huge amount of application of the H1B visa(working visa), the quota is reducing each year... very competitive and also not guaranteed. Things are getting harder and harder and I am like living in the mist....

Now my only focus is to land a job as soon as possible. No matter it will be here or somewhere else, I NEED A JOB!!! Fighting!!!
