    4. Join a startup
    5. Google/Microsoft
    6. Help Dad's China biz
    7. Help Mom's real estate biz

    Progress:

    0. You gotta start somewhere.
    1. PhD apps will be completed by Jan 1. - I missed the Maryland application by 1 minute ARGGGG. There is still umbc though - I wish my advisor was more clear on which one to apply to.
    2. MS is the default fallback if I don't get into a PhD program.
    3. I've registered my first business. Don't know what I'm going to do with it yet.
    4. I have developed ties with a startup in Silicon Valley. I got to ride in a Porsche =)
    5. I have applied to both Google and Microsoft, although after a bunch of interviews, Google wants me to reapply later, and Microsoft hasn't looked at my resume yet.
    6. My Chinese isn't very good, and his isn't either. Uh oh. =/
    7. We're potentially expanding into LA =)
    8. Well, I have a car. It's a start!
