so i have about 3 days left to study for the last exam of my life ever, and i'm not really thinking about what it really means, not yet, at least. i just want to get this paper over and done with! and have a massive slacking period after. heh.

two things to look forward to after the exams - hongkong trip with the girls + jared + justin, and melbourne/sydney with the boyfriend + friends! i am so looking forward to the grad trips only because i have never really been out of singapore before nor taken a plane before in my life, so these will be quite the life-defining moments! and i hope that this will only be the start of many more traveling overseas in future ;)

that aside, hanging on the lips of every final year student is that three-letter word. "have you found a job yet?" or "have you started looking for a job?". if you know me enough, you would know that i'm not that hard up to find a job immediately after graduation. i mean, okay, hard up on cash maybe; but definitely not hard up on finding a job to prove my worth or to inflate my self-esteem/ ego whatever it is.

i'm honestly not envious of peers who have already found a job; good for you if you have found one i'm genuinely happy for you, even better if you have found one that is in line with your passion and interests.

i just want to take these few months to sit down and find out what i really want to do, find out what i will be genuinely interested in and not jump straight into a job which i might not like, as well-paying as a job might be.

sad to say these few years of specializing in PR has made me all the more averse to it, but it doesn't mean i'm closing all options to a job in the PR industry if it really comes down to it, worse come to worse. i mean as idealistic as i hope to be, when it comes down to bread and butter issues, i have to be practical, don't i? and that's the tragedy of living the Singaporean way of life, in my opinion.

it feels so surreal that i'm talking about this, no more student life (while the boyfriend gets to enjoy another sem of it haha).

but enough about that, i still have truckloads of readings to do for (surprise, surprise) International PR. And job-hunting (or not) aside, i'm so going to enjoy the holidays after the exams because i sure as hell deserve it! :)
