Just an update- back in school
Ok, so I've started school again.
I'm on my last year and after this I'll be out in the real world.
Whether I'm ready or not to face the reality of the post-college grind that is the rat race, it doesnt matter. But judging from my not-so-good baptism of fire in the corporate world as an intern last summer, I am so not looking forward to that inevitable thing happening.
Guess I'll just have to roll with the punches.
For now, I'm just doing my best to enjoy what's left of my freedom as a non-wage earning adult.
Schoolwork may be stressful, but it's relatively fun compared to the routine monotony of going to the office, in a building 35 stories high with a friggin 24-7 ice blasting a/c. aagh.
Lets review my internship experience last summer:
600 Wake up
730 Leave home, take the bus or the train.
900 Arrive at office, log-in on the "attendance sheet"
900 - 1200 Type on the laptop, do routine work that kills off more brain cells than a 2 pack cigarette binge
1200 - 100 Try to enjoy lunch, but due to the circumstances, ie, being on a budget and having to buy only carinderia food and barely having an hour to digest it, can't.
100 - 600 Do more routine tasks. By this time I am on the verge of complete brain drain (in the literal sense of the word, and not in the socio-political connotation that applies to OFWs)
615 Leave the office, walk to the bus stop and jostle with the commuters in getting a space inside the already packed bus.
730 Arrive home. exhausted.
Now, multiply this experience to 5 days a week. You can just imagine why I never want to do that sort of work again. EVER. I feel like a prisoner trapped within the four walls of the office.
Mom says I can't do anything about it. Life's like that, I gotta work hard.
But nowadays I dont really care about getting a job with a good pay. I'd rather work at a job which pays an amount just enough to cover my needs but one that I'd really enjoy.
