Looking at transcript, 3.21, bit better than B, not good-enough for B+, but / and, I completed undergraduate in 3 years, and received 2 masters (EE - computer structures, MBA - options pricing) within same 24 months, so not, I was not a good student, did not learn a lot, had to systemically / structurally skip a lot of classes due to scheduling / logistics.

Especially enjoyed Tales of Quest, Metaphysical Problems, Business Law, Physics of Space Exploration, Intro Digital Systems, History of Documentary & Experimental Films, Intro to Anthropology, Finance Theory, Coding Algorithms, Computer Structures, Options Bonds & Commodities, Tech Society Human Condition

Particularly despised General Chemistry, Mechanics of Solids, Intro Programming, Statistics, Material Science

Tolerated all the mathematics - a whole lot of mathematics, endless mathematics

Impossible course - Antenna Theory - received B+ but as the class was graded on the curve I did not actually understand any of the lectures, book, homework, exams; unclear what the rest of the class learned

Most useful course: Options, Bonds, & Commodities

Loved summers and long holidays at friends' places, and friends to this day, one just met a few weeks ago boating to Lamma Island

Only worthwhile organization engaged with was ZBT

Stereo: Onkyo set

Cars: VW Scirocco '78 (totaled) then Mazda RX7 '81 (vrooomm vrooomm)

Only ever held one job after graduation, worked at Otis in different capacities from 1981 June to 1987 December quit after reckoning there was no job position I desired

Offered Apple NE Asia CFO position 1988, but enjoyed my own time too much to join any new company, and and and
