Restart-JD

    拿一个学位真的不容易,论文终于通过了,送出去的时候，一点自信没有,送回来的时候居然得了两个A.嗲!尤其是学术性得了A,导师们终于理解了我在说什么.同时,那些B全部忽略.想到预答辩的时候,那个阴阳怪气的女人,还要把我关掉,不让我送审,就非常气.事实证明,她懂个P!!!

    某位在USAMBA的同学:加油呀!!就剩下你了!小荒1.5年前告诉我花了1个月拼出来了,憔悴的不行.现在.我每天下班后1小时写thesis,时间跨度3个月,搞的象个xx,so next it's your turn,baby!!! 

   

 

 

       Good evening, Jessica, family members, my dearest friends, first of all, let me thank you all for coming for this special day of Jessica’s graduation for her master degree of International Economics. As you may or may not know, I was Jessica’s roommate for four years during our undergraduate period and we have been so close that some of you might doubt my tendency in some area, which I don’t have that tendency in that area. Until now, Jessica is the first and only girl from our group with a master degree, which is definitely a big accomplishment. Standing out from all of you with only a bachelor degree, I am thrilled and excited to give a speech about my special friend on this memorable day.

       Frankly speaking, Jessica left me a pretty bad first impression. It was August 2001. Jessica and her mother walked in in late afternoon. We only said hi and then she sat down and began eating an apple, while her mother started doing all the cleaning and wiping. I told myself: “a spoiled and arrogant princess”. As it turned out, she was not a good roommate, because for most of the time, she was not even in our room. I only saw her several times in classes and all we said was no more than how are you. But it was not hard to find the similar and crazy part from her. She was such a big fan for Roberto Baggio, a famous Italian soccer player and she loved Linkin Park. I am sure all of you had the experience of walking into her room and found her singing with the band crazily.

       She was never the traditionally “good student” type. Skipping classes on a regular basis, Jessica managed to graduate with an average GPA of 3.7, which sent her to graduate school. She kept doing an awesome job and I still remember sometime in March last year, Jessica called me one day and said the graduation paper was due next week and she didn’t even start writing yet. I had no idea how she finished that big paper in the end. But, anyway, she graduated with the 22^nd place and for your information, there were 22 students in her major in her year.

       I am not going to talk about her academic “excellence”, instead, let’s go back to some happy times we shared together. Jessica’s biggest unforgettable anecdote happened during our military training program. As Jessica may be the only one here who doesn’t want to recall, it was the best time for the rest of us all. It was a very hot summer day. She unbuttoned her army coat during the break, not wearing much inside. And unfortunately, she was then asked to give us an example of how to solute. She went to the front, with a firm face like a soldier fighting for our country and held her right arm to her eye brow. It was probably the most embarrassing moment in military training history. But she found her way to go through that “dark” time in her life and is still the happy and cheerful girl as she would always be.

       I personally appreciate and thank her for the friendship we have found in each other. Being the only child from my family, deep down I always want someone of my age to talk to and share. I am grateful Jessica is such a friend that would be willing to listen and offer her help. I was most moved when I just started working after graduation. I met my first bottleneck in my career and was having difficulty adjusting to the working environment. She said to me the sentence I would not be able to forget in my whole life: “Don’t say you are the only child from your family. You do have a sister and it is me”.

       Jessica now finally will say farewell to her 14 years of school life and start working. As you may know, she got the offer from Axion Pacific Capital as a business analyst. I am sure that with her determined and optimistic personality, she will continue to be successful on her path. Let us all give our best wishes to her career and personal life. Thank you.
