Going Places X Meeting Aces: Summer Graces

27 March

exactly one month

from the summer of 2012

 

yeah.. so?

I set my own date for summer

 

finally today

officially signed up for the “summer plan”

 

I just can’t wait

and setting aside the whole bigger plan

I actually planned to “disobey” the schedule

during 27th~29th April

for a secret undercover mission

 

the most exciting look-forward-to event

of the month/season/year:

we call it “MCR2”

manager-client-reunion(MCR) @ Manchester(MCR)

 

aha… can’t you see that

everything coincides so well

even the name

 

here’s some snippets

to the bigger plan looks like

  • research tours and industry visits
  • talks given by people in the industries
  • an integrated research project

 

well I can tell you

the 3 weeks is really hell-packed

9-5 kind of thing, Mon-Sun

 

but I really hope

I can make full use of the trip

I know right, sounds so fake

 

more important is to have fun

and a little shopping, maybe maybe

and the MCR2 which is going to take place

outside the schedule better comes true

 

last but not least

before everything can happen

I have to swim through 3 more weeks of

assignments, lectures, etc

 

in fact, on the week I am flying

I have 3 mid-term assessments,

and 2 presentations

 

the thing now is

not to get too excited

but start utilizing the summer plan as a motivation

in order to successfully climb through

the hurdle right in front

 

till I can officially shout

“LONDON, here I come!!!!”
