graduated first of my class...

graduation was today... i'm so depressed that i decided long ago not to go (some of you in here might know why). they were gonna give me a diploma and a gift. anyways, when the uni called me (to see why i didnt register for the ceremony which is why they told me in advance that i got it in order to convince me to go)the first thing that came to my mind was, well, at last something good happens, now i can put that shit in my CV and not put my university ranking which was already top 1%. if they told me this a few months ago i would be celebrating right now, but instead i am redoing my CV to see how it "looks".

SO PATHETIC!!!!

ranked third bschool in latin america. no-harvard but still was competitive. i hope i can use that to get some sort of financial aid for the masters that i am applying to in europe.

 

so I'm confused... did you ever find out what exactly didn't clear in the security check? I mean, if you've done nothing wrong but something didn't add up on their end, you should have no trouble in coming up with the evidence to pass the screening. Hope everything works out for you man.

 
Emerging AlphaNothing new going on, Toiysam? I wish you the best of luck

applying to masters in europe (nothing else i can do, can i?) dont know if to go with a good (target) 2 year program, or a one year non-taget. now htat i dont have an internship i dont think i can land a FT position... seriously thinking about postponing IB for 5 years and then enter as associate. just the thought of that kills me.

and no, they didnt get back to me with an explanation. by the time i re-apply to other places i wont have to give any details about my gap year because they just ask for addresses for the last 5 years.

 

What other kinds of things have you looked into? With your qualifications, I would imagine you would be able to get some type of business development job somewhere and hopefully advance quickly - perhaps bypassing IBD at the lower levels entirely.

 

in here, thins are really slow, most companies recruit months ago and i rejected all the offers i had. rejected as well an offer in india, rumania and another one in new york (they paid really low and was just not for me). at this point, i think the only way to insert myself in the european labour market is to do a degree over there. i am not excited about that, i am sick of studying...

 

well don't kill yourself. if you graduated first in your class then you have something to offer the world. Remember, Soros was a railway porter and a waiter in his 20s. Just saying.

Besides we all have problems. I for example fucked myself in the arse academically, my girlfriend dumped me last month, and due to certain reasons I couldn't get a decent summer internship even though Im ivy league with past IB summer experience. Add to that the fact that I broke my right hand 1.5 weeks ago and can barely write my final exams....or excercise (gained a noticeable amount of weight already). ..and some rich drunken frat boy made a racial epithet to me earlier tonight. Oh and the rent. I'm behind on my stupid rent- but thats kind of old news.

toiysam is fucked because he was born in the wrong "country"

YOU are fucked because YOU fucked your grades, your girlfriend didn't like YOU, and YOU don't interview well

 

Thanks Philosopher, that made me feel better...

*did you know that there is a part in your brain that releases like a protein or hormone that makes you feel good when you hear that other people are doing bad? that is the fucked up nature of men.

 

He's apparently a fatass as well. Last time I checked, you can run with a broken hand. And how you gain a "noticeable amount of weight" in 10 days is beyond me. What the fuck have you been eating? Must be straight cookie dough with shots of Bud heavy to wash it down.

Agree, a broken hand is hardly a big deal. I would also think you'd lose weight if you really can't exercise, as muscle mass would deteriorate, and even if it is replaced by fat, fat doesn't weigh as much.

Muscle is muscle, fat is fat, they dont replace each other.

Okay. I'm not disagreeing with you (although interviewing wasnt the problem). really was just trying to make the OP feel better. I know I deserve SOME of my crap and the OP deserves NONE of his.

Seeing what Philosopher has said in this thread http://www.wallstreetoasis.com/forums/i-am-not-londone1-by-tetris it is quite clear that he is immature and unworthy of pity.
I dont know what you're talking about. I was defending you. Your profile says you're male- are you saying you can/do queef on people's faces? lol

lol you guys are brutal.

but just fyi. I ran track in high school. And no, you cant run with a bigass cast. And yes, a sudden stop in a rigorous excercise program leads to a fast initial bout of weight gain. I didn't say I became fat- but I'm not as lean as I was just 2 weeks ago (some bellyfat starting to form, etc).

 

I was really just busting your balls. I thought it was funny the first time I read it, and when EA made a comment, I couldn't resist.

But you must have a pretty brutal metabolism if you can notice weight gain in two weeks... or you eat like the guy in Supersize Me.

 

Ok Philosopher, I already know that Dipset makes inane comments like that, but you kinda lumped yourself in there with him by actually commenting on his comment. I feel it's not even worth the effort to respond to a comment claiming that I "queef". Anyways, I feel I was a bit harsh, and it really is too bad all these things that are happening to you, good luck.

 

Wow, this board is usually so heartless and sadistic - I am surprised that everyone is joining the world tour on the sympathy train. You need a little tough love here, quit the bitching and do something about it. You sitting around and sulking about something you had no control over is doing nothing beneficial for your life. There are FAR worse things that happen to people in this world. Take life as it it comes and roll with the punches. Use your story later on to show your true dedication to your dreams.
