Another PhD...

It is really an exciting day. I finally get in touch with CC, my long lost best friend. And what makes me feel more excited is that she is also a PhD! WOW!!! And she is a PhD in the field of genetics! She does not change at all. When we talked on phone, I was still able to feel her boyishness. I can also see her schedule must be very tight. It was Saturday morning in Japan. Well, she was still in the lab. And she told me she arrived at the lab in the early morning to feed the fruit fly, the thing she deals with every day. She also told me that she smelt like fly, because she lives with thousands of fruit flies in the lab every day. So funny. A PhD of science is really different from us. I have nothing interesting related to work to share with. Anyway, I don't think somebody would think price is interesting as long as they don't need to pay for it. And I cannot say something interesting, such as I smell like money, as she did...


We were not able to talk for a long time, because she needed to cover some bottles of fruit flies. But it was still great to hear her voice again. And I am sure she had the same feeling. When you find some long lost best friend, you not only find a person close to you, you also find so many sweet memories...

She will graduate in 1.5 year if she can complete the paper (OMG, paper again!) I strongly recommended her taking a post-doctor here. I guess M's genetics should not be bad and I confess I have some own interest in it. How wonderful it will be if she is here! I have already failed to persuade M, my cousin, to take a MBA degree here, because he loves his current job very much. And I also failed to persuade T, a cousin with a French master degree and able to speak French, to immigrate here, because she thought Canada was not as trendy as France...Sigh...Can my dream come true finally? God bless me, god bless me, god bless me...
