Few weeks left before meeting Aussie

Today is the last day of January 2007. Wow, time flies pass me like lightnings....

Heard from JPA that we are going to fly around 12th or 13th Feb. Am I anxious? I don't think there is any ground to deny that.... But I don't really think this would scare me off too much.

I am always proud to tell others, "Tis gonna my second experience overseas, I had one before, so this wouldn't make me feel really homesick." Hopefully I can keep my own words...

Frankly speaking, staying at home doing nothing for too long is gonna bore me sooner or later. The break is to sharpen my saw in order to take the next challege gracefully.

My only worry is, am I able to cope with an Actuarial Studies degree? There have been few people, at least, who told me that it is the toughest course they can ever imagine. First, my specialist math lecturer, Mr Lee, told me that my standard would probably make it a cruise (I hope so, teacher). The uncle who made my glasses indicated something like this (leaving my standard alone cos he has no idea 'bout that). " Wow, I think this would be quite challenging,"he said while fixing my new glasses. And during JPA briefing, a former JPA scholar told me, "You would realise like out of sudden, a class of 100 students would be left by 20 after the first semester..." That really scared me, I would admit.

Well, the choice has been made. There is no way to make a u-turn. Plus, it would be foolish to believe what others said without trying it out myself. If the degree is unattainable, why should it exist at all? The key point here is, am I confident that my level intelligence is sufficient to pass confortably with the degree? I hope the answers to these questions are a single "yes".

I heard that mommy's friend's daughter is doing actuarial in macquaire also. She only got TER 92 i think, but apparently she is doing fine with Actuarial Science. If she can do it, why can't I?

from my research in the past,actuarial science is all about problem solving. and very importantly, you must also have a very good communication skill. and from other people's experience, they say it is not easy to get a job, but once you get it...woo......you will start making big bucks.
