Internship

In a way, my holiday is ending. Well, it's not because my school is starting. But it's because I have internship and internship is working. During our school period, a few of my classmates started planning for their three months break. A few of them were talking about internships and honestly, it wasn't a bad idea.  There were also other things that was being thrown around such as travelling and summer schools. All of which aren't bad at all. I was really torn between summer schools and internships. Sadly, summer schools was way too expensive so instantly, I had to choose internships. I thought an internship would look good on my resume.  I applied to big firms and I got rejected by a few of them while some of my classmates got accepted. It kinda sucks getting rejected but I suppose that is apart of life.  I should be used to rejections by now but it still hurts. But luckily for me, my dad knows people who owns small accounting firms so I ended up gett...

Currently, I am doing the nanowrimo thing. And omg, it has taken over my life. Right now, all I can think about is my writing. I'm obsessed. Thank god, the holidays have started...or else. I seriously wonder how I will manage school. It's hard to pay attention in class when your mind is somewhere else.

Anyways, I worked in a catering company. I never knew that catering was an art. I learnt quite alot of new stuff. I helped served food & stuff like that. I helped cater a birthday party. My job is something like a waitress...(I mean, I have to serve & take orders) For the first time in my life, I realized that jobs like these were so damn boring.(Well, excluding all the customers complains & ruckus) Suddenly, it hit me that people hate their jobs. I really get what they mean. It isn't because of the boss but it is because of the JOB!! I mean, the job was so damn boring that I didn't even last a week in that job. I quit after 5 days!! I mean, I really felt bored... I counted the hours to the end of the day, hoping that time will fly. So...I finally get it. I finally understand why people hate their jobs s...
