Whisper of the heart

Without yourself, you are alone...

and the Countdown begins...

Posting this from the office. Supervisor gave me Internet connection to find solution for a run time error. Got tired of searching. So started browsing. I know the network is monitored. God knows who in the IT department is reading this. Im gonna get into deep trouble if im caught but who cares? Another 5 days (excluding Sat and Sun) and I’m outta here.

Can’t believe 4 months just flew by. In fact, I worked for an additional one week. So that’s 4 months and 1 week. That just passed by like a bullet train. I want to say with the speed of light but then, it wasn’t that fast especially during the middle of the four months period, which, of course, was like a living hell for me.

I am feeling pretty dumb to say this but to tell the truth, I’m definitely gonna miss this, the whole routine. Months earlier, I was counting the days for September 30th. I wouldn’t say I wish it’s not gonna end. The only thing that I wish wouldn’t end is my university life but at the same time, I’m not really counting the days either. I enjoy my work and I’m so motivated to get things done. I was given an option to extend but I don’t really want to go on with this without an end (Infinite loops are never fun to deal with). I have other plans which I have to be get prepared for (no deadlocks for me).

INDUSTRIAL TRAINING..The experience was both good and bad but it helped me to find a better perspective in life. In fact, I have a clearer picture of the career path that I want to choose for my future. And life lessons? Just too many.

I met so many people, faced so many characters during this period. It polished my communication skills, made me for cautious when I’m dealing with a person and I’m definitely no more the nerdish girl who first entered in MMU with grandma’s glasses, an oily ponytail and a yellow T-shirt that says HONEY BEE. (God, what was I thinking?)

The experience also made me love programming. I used to hate it until the end of my degree. I wish I had done my training earlier. It would have helped me with my CGPA tremendously, that’s for sure.

I learnt about monopoly (not the game), I learnt where I stood in the working world, I understood the word domineering for real, I understood where sincerity stood in the outside world. I discovered the prospects of IT in the concrete environment. I learnt about humiliation and I learnt how to swallow it in one big gulp. I learnt about working hard and to find satisfaction in whatever that I do and set my heart upon without expecting appraisal from others. I learnt to appreciate those people who had always been there for me and I learnt that my friends in MMU are the best. The summarize it all, I discovered a new me.

Things are good. Everything is bright. I love this life. 5 days more…

Beautiful..just beautiful..
