Application

I got rejected by a University in Japan. My application was refused. In contrast, one of my friends got his position in a University. I felt sad for myself why I was not happy to hear his good news. My previous professor gave me an advice that I should be careful about my appearance.
Although I am currently applying to some other Universities, I am also seeking a position in a company. I must make a decision whether to give up academic work. I believe that this year will be a turning point for me.
