Hello, Pei,
I would like to say thank you, once again, for interviewing with our council. We were sincerely impressed by your qualifications and motivation. Unfortunately, we could only select a limited amount of new members, and will not be able to accept you this semester. I would like to strongly encourage you to apply with us again next semester, as you were a top candidate and would serve us well. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. Thank you for your time, and good luck with your future endeavors!

This is not the first time already.. and I can (proudly?) say i'm numb to rejections more than ever. Perhaps this is a training for me to get use to failures. If you don't get what I mean, I'm referring to my most probable future job: a researcher in the fields of biotechnology. From the numerous alumni panels i attended for BIOL 115, I garnered that 90% of all researches one venture into will somehow fail, even for prominent scientists who have an average 85% failure rate (I love statistics; it brings out all the necessary info in numbers). In that case, one must be adroitful enough not to sink into long period of blues.. and continue to persevere and strive through.. by the time ripes and success finally belongs to you, it'll be the sweetest things of all.
The weather today was extremely frigid. I wore 3 layers of clothes but the blasted wind still forced its way through my body to my spine. The problem with the temperature here is that it fluctuates so frequently that one day you are prepared for the cold weather someone turn the sun on full radiation; and on another day you wear less in anticipation of the cheery sun, the weather just turn nasty.
Solution: read 'The Exponent' and watch out for the weather forecast section. It's almost always give correct prediction.
