"Sunday struggles.
a) To wake up early.
b) To decide whether or not to attend the class when there are tests/projects to do.
c) To be laughed at in class."

Quick update!

I've got an internship position from the company, but it wasn't the position that I was interviewed for. But of course, I'm going to be an intern after all--it's about learning and gaining experience from whatever position/work that I'm involved in. Whatever it is, I stand to gain!

This is at least one relatively good news to hear, in this nightmarish last week of school.

1 down, FOUR more major deadlines/tests to clear before I can sit down to prepare for the looming exams.

Bus adventures on a Sunday morning.

#1: Home to Orchard

I slept throughout the journey from home to Orchard--standing. Wait a minute, sleeping-while-standing is an art that I'm already proud of, because I rely on this on my daily MRT commute to school. Sleeping-while-standing on the bus is nothing new too, but I was pretty surprised at how soundly and uninterrupted today's journey was.

I boarded the bus, found a good standing spot against the window, and rested my right hand on the standing support (meant for wheelchair-bound passengers). The NEXT THING I knew, was that I was pretty near my destination. It was refreshing.

I stole a quick glance to my left, to check if there were camera-equipped STOMPers. Phew.

#2: Orchard to Home.

Thankfully there were empty seats and I immediately sat at my Favourite Corner, right at the back. I took out The Sunday Times and started reading, but without knowing why, I suddenly lifted my head and witnessed a Near-miss. It was just centimetres away from disaster--a speeding car braked JUST in time to avoid hitting our speeding bus on the left side. Shrieks, screams and shouts were all spontaneous. I would certainly be scared to death if I had sat at those seats--the potentially direct hit, instead of my Favourite Corner.

It made me recount the many near-misses I've had so far, both land and water-related, and be thankful for the alertness of the people around, to mitigate the disastrous consequences.

Seriously too busy these 2 weeks. I can't imagine how I'm going to cope with all these work.

Anyway, interview for an attachment position came and went. I'm sure I could do better! It's back to the Waiting game again. It does bore me, but come to think of it: I can always try applying again for Sem 7, if I really get nothing out of this semester. The interview results will be out in this coming week!

The semester is down to the last week. I can't wait for it to end. But ironically, I'm not prepared for it to end! But then again, sometimes when I find myself worrying over academic stuff, I'd tell myself that I'm really silly. It's important, yes, but really, how much I'm learning now actually gets practiced and applied in future? Probably even close to zero.

On another note, I guess I'm going to take up a volunteer stint in 2011. That's the 'new' thing I'm considering in 2011. I've left my particulars with a NGO last week in school, but I'm still keeping my options open. I shall give it a good thought after exams.
