First day of my last semester started today and the first class of my last semester has just ended. So while waiting to pass my french textbook over, I decided to camp out in Lockwood Library to escape for the torturous cold that is biting on the skin of those brave souls out there, attempt to start out the semester by being a studious student and print all my notes in advance and do something productive such as updating this badly outdated blog.
Much has passed since my dad's visit. I have been to Boston and back, passed my driving test and became a certified New York State driver, passed the winter holidays in absolute fun and silliness at times filled with lots of impromptu baking, movies, food and camping overs completed with a good trip to New York City and Philadelphia. How am I supposed to do a complete update on all these events, I have no idea now. I am determined to do so though, maybe in small posts and let's hope that determination does not die off halfway though I am very much afraid it most likely will.
During my very first class today, French, we had to ask our partner when is their graduation date. Saying it out loud today that I graduate in May really made me realize how soon it is till I am done with University. Needless to say, I'm naturally a little apprehensive and nervous about it. Here I am, at 20 years old, about to graduate in 4 months. What am I going to do after that? Studying has always been what I am supposed to do, my "job" from when I started school till now. To stop studying is scary. And of course I can't believe that my University phase just passed over in a flash. It has been too fast, too fun and maybe not what I really expected University to be. I suppose in a way I don't feel like I have learned enough or know enough to say I have graduated from University. Anyway, regardless of how I feel, the job hunt starts now. Attended the Network New York while I was in New York City and was slapped with facts of how difficult to the point of being impossible for international students to land themselves a job for reasons of being too expensive especially in today's economy. Obviously I am still going to try for anything I can get, even if it's only an internship for 3 months. But on the other hand, I have to be realistic and give myself a time period to look for a job, after that I will probably just return to Singapore for good and begin my job hunt there.
It's a big, maybe exciting year ahead, turning 21, graduating, starting work. May God bless me through it!
The other posts will come soon. For now, I leave you guys these rants. (:
