Dear friends,
I know I might be pain in the ass with all the school stuff right now, but I am on the biggest crossroad of my life and I ask for any advice and support.
So, I need to finish a theses till the end of may so I could go to the state final exam at the end of june. I am so stressed about all this, because I know that professors on Korean studies here are very strickt and the one that leads my thesis made me write my linguistics project (that is supposed to be done in 6 months) 2 years. Never good enough for him. So I am so stressed that I will never be able to finish the BA thesis to his likings in time to graduate in june.
And then, becauce life was always being so generous in giving me opporutinties (though it always had the worst timing ever) there are awesome work possitions popping all around me now. Assistant of Korean general director of a company (since I need to use English, Korean and Czech language it´s said to be very gainful). But let me tell you two things. It´s personal assistent to an director who is used to asian bussiness style = NO PRIVATE TIME AT ALL. Second, they want the person to start working in May. (while my exam is in June and I doubt I would be able to finish the thesis till beginning of may....but there were people who told me they had their BA thesis done during the weekend, what the hell?!)
There is another possition, it´s only the intership possition in Hyundai company in Prague, well paid, using Korean. But again. The same problem, it´s Korean company, and damn, I never was a fortune hunter who´d be willing to throw her peace and healt away for a good money. I don´t want that life, especially not starting with June when the hell I´ve been throught at Uni just ends.
I´ve got plan too. I wanna graduate and find a way how to get some usual job in Korea and stay there until I get the final certification in korean language. On the other hand, that´s something that could never come true. Not to mention, that when I see people I met at school (high or junior or even basic) settling down, having babies and stable jobs... I wonder if I should just graduate, find a normal job and start The living. Of course, keep up translating from korean, I don´t wanna lose contact with this language.
So yeah... I feel very lost in what to do now. And I am sorry I am making you reading this and thinking about how to advise me....
