and i can't seem to wake up from this nightmare
Uh, hi? :D
it's been roughly 6 months since my last update, oh wow.
so much things has happened. and i'm not even sure if people in my friends list are still around or if they still care as much as they did before, but lately my social life has been suffering because of work and knowing me, the whole i-cant-sit-still-for-10-minutes-much-less-not-talk-about-myself...self, that's unacceptable.
so i guess this means i'll be bringing this journal back to life. just for the sake of my social life slash sanity to not fall off the face of the planet.
and i figure i should start by picking up where i last had an update. oh look at that, way back October. （。＿＿＿。）
october - december is when i rendered my clinical practicum. describing each and every memorable experience i had in there (all of which not anything less than amazing) would probably take around 30 full length lj updates, and i know nobody reads that kind of shit anyway so i probably shouldn't bother. long story short, it was one of the best experiences i've had in my life, and will always remember the feeling of fitting in into the place (not in the sense that i should be confined like the rest of the patients there, of course lol). like, i can actually see myself doing the things i did there. it was toxic and tiring, but fulfilling nonetheless. i was really happy.
january came and we had to do another set of practicum, which is the educational field. i was assigned to the guidance office on my first three weeks, where i had to listen to high school students bitch and moan about their seemingly life-threatening problems like backstabbing friends, unrequited crushes, and relationship problems. (mind you, their ages are ranging from 10-16) but it was fun. they like me, and it will probably be the only time when i'd walk in a corridor and feel like a celebrity because everybody knows me lol. it's a good feeling. xDDD
february and march passed like a blur. the remaining hours for my last practicum had to be rendered in a classroom setting. so yes, i did teach. compared to all of my practicums, i'd say this is the least fulfilling. college students are not only boring but also very predictable. parade yourself in a skin-tight skirt and they'd worship you like you're the best thing that's ever walked in their classroom lol xDDD but it was still fun; i guess our eagerness to graduate mattered most back then that is why i didn't even have the time to let myself internalize my role as a student teacher.
and when graduation arrived, it felt really surreal. in more ways than one.
it felt worth it, but not as much as the hardships i went through just to get to that moment. it was sort of anti-climatic, if you ask me.
it hasn't even been a month when i got a call from American Express. yes, that's where i work right now as a recruitment specialist. i think the AMEX that everyone knows of is more of the banking/credit card side, whereas my current company is more invested on the travel agency. same company, same name but i guess...different priority? idek lol
so far, so good. i honestly did not expect to have a job only after two weeks of graduating, and considering how thesis-making almost killed me back in college, i was hoping i'd get a much more decent vacation. but oh well, at least i can now buy as much kpop/jrock shit as my income allows it without my dad going nazi on where i've been wasting away all his money. hahaha!
and....yes, i think this update has been long enough.
i'll try to update as much as i can. rants, daily slash weekly slash whenever-possible-y updates, everything. for the past few months i've been doing so in my facebook account, but seeing as a handful of people from work have already tracked down my account, i guess ranting there is impossible now. =/
i'll talk to you guys later! ♥
edit: my facebook account, please do add if you can since i'm usually online there. xDDDD (yes, that is me on my default picture, taken on my graduation day. yes, i wore a pink dress. /dealwithit.gif)
another edit: my twiitter. oh, and my tumblr. yes, i have a tumblr i finally caved in after so long lol. i don't use both accounts as much, but maybe if i get more people in there i'd be obliged to update? hehe.
last one: i need more tvxq/jyj fans in my list. D8 i eat, live, and breathe these two groups and i need people to spazz with!!!!
