Actually, there has not been anything new. No calls from Embassy, no job whatsoever. Don't think I am motivated to work anymore. Anyway who in this pragmatic and sane world would want to employ a foreign student like me who does not possess any qualifications as yet?
But I have something currently in mind to solve. That which I have to start right after my return from exchange in coming August. Yes, final year projects. 2 of the profs that I queried about asked the same question: Is it not a little too early to find out about Honours year projects? Early indeed but not for me, as I explained my current situation here. Anyway, this is not kiasu, but just making sure I am not treated unfairly by the system (those who went through this before would know exactly what kind of system I am talking about, and believe me, all bureaucracies on this world are complicated. There seems to be a lot of hurdles to go through, and somehow they are there just to give you troubles. "Sorry, but the system does not allow this. Sorry, but we can't do anything to the system." Sadly humans over here at the advent of highly sophisticated technology are becoming more and more succumbed to being controlled by the system rather than changing it. Or being more "corporatized", they are just doing their job in ensuring more revenues for the Institution by finding all sorts of excuses to make students stay and above all, pay for an extra semester of fees.) and protecting myself.
One reality learnt in life: No one excepts you can protect yourself. So love yourself. For those who are still growing up, welcome to the real world. More for you to learn.
Yup and also taking the remaining one month to settle things like plans in London and stuffs like that. Exchange is not that fun afterall.
But nevermind, at the end of the day I learnt a lot and will sure get to enjoy myself somehow.
