俺无耻地以俺妈妈单位离那里近为由，让她假装成也想读mba的人陪我去，实际上是因为俺胆子有点小性格羞涩(某些人！不许呕吐！)想有人陪，况且俺妈可以送我回家。虽然我妈面相颇年轻，但要不是被分开在两张桌上，别人看神情听声音，不难猜出两人关系。

俺妈妈那桌男生多，工程师多;俺这桌只有一个男生，除了俺其它全是各种形态的美女，有中国传统型丹凤眼的，有看上去纯真可爱的，有知性的。统统是作marketing的(看不出是作events还是analysis还是根本就是sales，marketing概念太大了)俺很兴致勃勃的注意了半天她们的神态举止，感觉她们应该和我一样工作一两年。

然后就被打击了:人家介绍自己的时候都说自己工作七八年了。特别是里面纯真可爱型的那位，打扮真的很学生，也不化妆，脸上还有些痘痘，俺实在没想到她都工作九年啦啊啊啊。太自卑了，人家都已经满足工作经历要求，就我不停地问minimum working experience是多少年。

我们桌唯一的一个男生英俊得非常香港，轮廓极深，打扮也阳光，但是就是看着让人觉得像同性而不是异性。这个男生脸上就像贴着'start-up'两个字似的，理想远大，对什么事情都有自己的看法，并且非要表达出来不可。这男生英语口语非常好，是组织这次活动的教育机构的员工，申请了好几年mba了，都没有去，面试官都认识他了，orz。

俺们整个桌除了我都是做疑似sales的marketing的人，他们都非常活跃爱问问题，俺作为一个文静人群中相对活跃的人真是自愧不如啊，当今世界就是extrovert的天下而。可怕的是俺的口语越来越差了，不仅he she不分，着急就结巴起来，真苦恼。俺一定要减少无谓的嗯啊，宁可说得再慢些。

关于mba学校俺有几大观察结论:

1 中国人喜欢美国学校，美国的学校表示他们每年收到来自中国的申请能占到总数的40%。但欧洲连巴黎的hec，西班牙的esade等世界排名前十的商学院都不受欢迎。

2 essay真的很重要。一定要用自己的特色打动别人。

3 人家根据多个标准判断。如果gmat的数学低，他就看你的本科数学相关成绩。不会一棒子打死。结论是，俺的口语亟待训练，俺最好拿cfa level 1的成绩作为筹码，弥补俺工作经验的不足。

本报讯　北京师范大学附属实验中学近日复建起90年前的老校门。昨天，记者来到位于西城区辟才胡同80号的北京师范大学附属实验中学，一座高8.9米的灰色中西结合风格的门楼建筑显得格外醒目，这就是北师大附属实验中学，即原“国立北平师范大学附属女子中学”的老校门。

北师大实验中学校长袁爱俊表示，重建老校门是为了让师生通过追溯学校90年的历史，延续学校“勤肃信毅”的办学精神。据介绍，学校有关人员是根据仅存的一张图片资料进行的原比例仿真制作，全部都用青砖雕刻完成。

But people elder and more experienced than me have a different view. They see the degree as a title. A doctorate title is not only food for vanity but more importantly it earns respect, especially for girls. Let's face it: girls is susceptible to inexplicit discrimination in business world, in china and elsewhere. Common perception is that you are a girl so you are good at doing something that boys will think too trivial to handle. It's annoying as hell since I am more boyish than boys in this matter. And I am not good in things girls usually excel at, e.g. language, communications etc. Plus the disvantage of pregnancy will cause trouble in late 20s too. Again plus the hurdles that will prevent one to rise further once one hits a medium executive position. I really don't know. I guess being a PhD will at least prevent them treating one as a secretry, but the latter two?

To learn is to associate. Associate old stuff already learnt with new stuff to be learnt and distinguish between the two. Fit the new concept into a big picture. That's all. I believe my problem is that I am lost in trivialities and therefore, slow in grasping the whole picture. Ahhhh, all these small details in my charter financial test material are killing me now. It is NOTHING difficult. The mathematics is no-brainer. The financial statement analysis is easy to understand. Yet all the details about cash flow and tax and acounting conventions are unnecessarily troublesome and irritating. I am now in urgent need of a rock-solid concept that underlies the whole finance thing, providing the foundation that I can build my system on.
