Unpredictable life...

State 2: Decided to work at Fortis for the summer Change 2: Received an email about MPhil, Fortis suggested to raise the salary State 3: Decided to study in HK Change 3: Received an offer from Bristol <= my choice if I could choose again :p State 4: Decided to study in HK After MPhil Initial plan: Work in HK and signed a contract with Entone Change 1: Received an Email about a scholarship from Germany State 1: Decided to go to Germany After 1st Semester in Germany Initial plan: Attempt to find an internship, return to HK otherwise Change 1: A student job at Akzo Nobel, almost(?) an oral employment agreement State 1: Decided to stay in Germany for 1 more semester Change 2: Akzo Nobel retracted State 2: Going back to HK in Febuary or March, but attempt to find a student job Change 3: Negotiating with the MayDay and ScaleNet projects. State 3: 5 months' contract with ScaleNet and stay until end of August Change 4: A message from Entone about a post in March State 4: Still decided to stay in Germany Change 5: A call from ScaleNet about a shortened 3 months' contract State 5: Stay in Germany until at least the end of July (The story is on going...)
