First, Rejected for the summer compugirl camp. I'm not fit for being an tutor of that, why? I didn't ask any more details about it, but Kimberly appeared to be very satisfied in the interview and I almost believed that I've got it. Never mind. this is just something that shows my intuition is wrong occasionally.



Second, Munmun's going to get a car, I'll try to help her out there.



Third, Hari's meeting, we need to get Shreehash's system back working. it's not too much of a burden although I've no idea now to make a crashed system back working. This makes me feel ashamed because all I've been working here for one year seems to be nothing worth. I entered the retrospect mode again. By the way, Randy's going to visit us on May 10th. and it's a time to talk about possible chance of working in Intel in fall if the demo turns out to be successful. The type of things we were discussing on the phone need to be explained in a way. Get my own demo ready as well.



Fourth, and obviously, without any financial support, the summer here will be tough, I'll need to find myself some job to feed me, but it's really a good thing that I'll be able to have a 100-day self-owned time. I need to make a good plan. I need to use this summer to strongly improve my:
