半分もいってないけどこの辺にしよう。一体何単語覚えればボキャブラリーのフラストレーションなしに論文を読めるのだろう。。。

まあ、いいrevisionになる



進路は、といあえずはPから始まる某ホワイト外コンのオファーを受けた、昔から少数精鋭というのが好きだから、speak upの風潮が気に入ったから、比較的ホワイトだから、クライアント外資がちだから

けどさいきん高校の終わりにOxfordを目指すと宣言したのを思い出している

to return to basis,

to build career,

to know how much I can make effort,

to acquire research ability,

to study under the professor who I really respect,

to get status and reputation (which was my motto in my schooldays),

to be a specialist of something,

to be a politician in the future etc...

I'm preparing to apply for Oxbridge grad school. 

the course I'm gonna apply is one of the most competitive though...

思ったけど大学5年もあって色々サボりすぎた,甘えてたかも, 頑張ります.
