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.
