Someone stumbled upon my blog by googling "reason to give hr quit internship". Bad internship, I suppose. Incidentally, I am going to leave my job in just two weeks' time. It’s not a bad job but there’s only so much money one can earn and I do need a break. Boss said I can have Vesak Day and the whole weekend to think through it again but I doubt anything will change. The decision is final, and all I need to do now is keep the walls up between my colleagues and I so that I will not feel that wrench so strongly come my last day. Yes we aren’t the best of friends but it’s been six months.

So what plans have I for the 7 weeks leading up to uni? I would let that funky side of me shine through and participate in freshmen camps but that wouldn’t be me. I can fly to Shanghai and work in my sister’s store - the prospect of working overseas got me infinitely excited of course but it crashed and burned when I recalled the half-a-dozen tutees clamoring for a slot in my weekly schedule. Which leaves me to settle for a 3D2N budget tour to Bangkok or something and grab some cheap apparel to dress up for the fashion parade that is university. I am likely to utilise my e-prep credits on a module or two to condition my brain academically and start school in the right groove. Perhaps also re-colour my hair and get a new look for uni!

So much about school and I have not even decided where to go. Sigh. But that’s a different post for a different day.
