End of holiday

I m exhausted. The September holiday has come to the end. I have not done anything useful until now. Math portfolio still has one question unfinished and TOK discussion is postponed again. I m just complaining here. I think hopefully I can finish the maths thing today. Unlikely to have any TOK done by today as I think xyue is also the kind of slacker.
I chatted with chentangent on QQ last night. I sent him our last math port, the fish population series and sequence one. He said he had to "look at me with new eyes". He couldn’t understand most of it. And I found out that in china’s high sch they haven’t learnt cubic equation or matrix which we have studied in secondary school already. Chentangent is learning matrix by himself at the moment as it is the topic they need to know in the second year of their university. Although I know that what we have learnt in Singapore are those extremely basic stuffs but I still can’t help to feel cocky and feel like showing off something…
Chentangent is in Fujianyida. So is Yexiao. I envy them. The dream of becoming a doctor will never come true in the rest of my life. But I will still have a chance if I go back now and sit for Gaokao one or two years later. But it is not worthy and MMao always says that being a doctor in china is miserable. Half of her university school-mates (fifty out of one hundred) have left for the US. They got in the medical school in America and started all over. But I am still very doubtful how could they manage to raise their school fees and daily allowance. They couldn’t be rich enough and having part time job won’t earn much no matter how hard they worked. It is medical school man! All these remain mysterious. i guess the competition 30years ago is not as tough as now. Maybe I can talk to some of my mum’s friends in the USA later to find out.
