vo: 没反应。。。。Hello,ur Gre & Toefl scores

vo: what will u do in USA.
me: pursue Ph.D. degree of Biomedical Engineering in JHU.
vo: but it's master degree on your I20.
me: Oh, I want to pursue Ph.D., but the department requires me to enter
master program first,because.....(dtt点头,被打断)
vo:How many universities have you applied?

vo: how many gave u financial aid?
me: also two
vo: %$$#$%$^&^
me: Pardon? u mean my plan after graduation?
vo: (有一点笑了)yeah
me: I'll be a professor of biomedical engineering in SJTU. I'll do research
on neural engineering. I'll develop ....blablah (vo弄电脑)would u like to
see my supporting letter?
vo:i don't need that.
vo:Why not stay in USA?
me: I can be a professor when I'm under forty in SJTU. Half of the faculty in
the department are under forty. But in USA it is very difficult. My advisor
is now an associate professor. He is over forty. He had done excellent
research work. He has published papers on Nature or Science. But he is
only an associate professor.
(偶说的时候 vo转过头来盯住我看,偶也盯着看,到这里一点也不紧张了)
偶说完vo转过头去弄电脑,偶等了一会儿,然后继续blahblah, i'll do a lot of
valuable pioneer work because in China few researchers use engineering
techniques in the study of neural systems......被打断,转过头说 i do believe
u.
vo: #$%^%&^*
me: What? (又没听清楚,都怀疑偶的听力了 :()
vo:重复一遍 what will u work with?
me:(这回听明白了)My advisor is .........
vo: what does he specialize in?

vo继续看他的电脑,偶也不说话了
