我如何manage我的GMAT project和money

我用的basecamp 这个web2.0软件管理GMAT，可以管理todo list, project milestone, 和白板， 我用白板来管理我的选校，因为白板可以记录所有的变更， 所以我可以知道我选校的变化。Basecamp 还有collaboration功能， 最重要的是Basecamp的基本功能是免费的，高级功能收费，有兴趣可以注册一个帐户， 给我留言， 我把你加入到我的GMAT project里面就可以看到我的project进程了:).
关于Money我是比较后知后觉的， 因为要给公司还钱所以就去取一个好久没动的储蓄帐户， 结果密码忘记了：（， 试了好多次都不对， 只好密码重置， 被告知为了帐户安全， 一周后来改新的密码， 收费10元， 钱如果不投资， 赶不上经济发展的速度， 也赶不上通货膨胀的速度， 7月份发住房补贴， 我就把补贴全部买债券型基金， 不知道啥是基金或者债券型基金的同学请百度或者google一下。 投资学讲究diversified portfolio, 中文就是不把鸡蛋放一个篮子里， 我50％的投资放入fixed income(也就是债券或者债券型基金) 30％放入股票型基金， 20％放入中长线股票（6－12个月持有）。
股票我一直读爱搞搞同学的博客, 我的股票投资原则是

1. undervalued stock 呵呵， 每个投资人的第一原则， 低估的股票
2. 我可以了解的公司， 比如商业银行我可以去他们的网点， 零售业可以去他们的商铺， 等等， 光看公司的财务报表或者新闻炒做是不够的。
3. 具有中长期的投资价值， 这个可以有很多解释了，比如一年内有大事件发生（奥运， 新公司投资。。。）， 有新的投资人加入， 具有投资价值的证据（私有化， 外资注资etc）。。。
4. 如果股市普遍过热（股票都被高估）则将20％的股票资金放入基金。
   

希望热心同学给我推荐基金和个股：）

昨天啥也没干

昨天煮了饺子吃， 在职准备真不易啊。 老板出差回来了，又是鸡飞狗跳。 昨天和北京深圳开conference call的时候和老板顶了几句， 心情很差， 晚上就什么都不想干了。 抽时间我得把我这几个老板说说， 公司是财富500强， 老板还是各具情态。 今天上班听说老板下下周要出差， 那个开心呀， 晚上又有心情看两页书了。
今天看到又有人留言， 很感动， 中文博客人气就是旺啊， 估计那个英文写的不会怎么热心写了， 也就让一些老外朋友知道我的动向罢了。

休息休息， 慰劳自己一下

嘿嘿， 今晚做了顿饭， 每周小做2顿， 有益身心健康。 做饭是哥们一大爱好，和成为好男人无关。 今晚看黄书 (OG11 Yellow)。SC 20 错 7...呜呜呜， 虽然SC 不过

Verb Form这几种， 做起来还是很tricky。 不过这次不像裸考GMAprep时选起来那么茫然了。吼吼。 类型旁边的数字表示错误的题数， 总数大于7是有的题考了多个考点， 比如说黄书第16题就考了Idiom和Logical Predication。 目前我Logical Predication最惨， 看看OG11的解释， Watch out for phrases that detract from the logical argument.
Modification problems: Modifiers should be positioned so it is clear what word ofr words they are ment to modify. (我晕, 跟没说一样)
Example:
Correct: " I put the cake that I baked by the door" Incorrect: "I put the cake by the door I baked. "
多练吧， 对于我等语法较差的同仁来说唯有不断的练习才是王道啊。

p.s.发现练GMAt后喜欢抖腿， 据说能缓解紧张的情绪。 发现练GMAT后伸手敏捷， 刚才一伸手打死一只蚊子。（以上应该算parallelism:))。 GMAT的日子要与蚊子相伴了。。。

处女贴

从2006年底开始考虑GMAT应该算是处心积虑了， 我一直在写自己的博客（全英文）， 因为还怕同事发现， 只好重新开一个， 以记录我的经历， 希望能记录自己的奋斗， 也希望能给后来人一些参考价值。选了个绿色的blog style， 因为国人都把GMAT弄得太吓人了， 活得太累， 呵呵， 大家轻松点：）

今天2007年5月28号，上班第一件事， 刷托福考位：）。 北京6月份有好几个学校都有iBT的考位， 看来托福考试一坐难求的现状能得到改善， 我还是集中精力把7月份的GMAT先考好再说。

昨天周末忙着从以前的房东手里拿到押金， （打扫， 结水电， 交钥匙）。 做了30道OG11的SC, 错了13道！不过发现每错一道题对SC的认识都有些提高。

周一来公司上班， 打开从chasedream下载的word版的og11 sc， 郁闷的发现居然和我家里紫色的og11 verbal不一样！ 谁能帮我下到word版的og11 sc？ update： 原来橙色的og11和紫色verbal里面的sc是不一样的， 低估了老美的职业素养，原来以为他们copy一下书就一下出3本呢。
