You make me strong!
-Love Rainbow, Arashi
I think people who can make you feel like you can do it are amazing. :) Haha. I guess that's also what it means to have a relationship-- to have someone who'd support you all the way. Makes me remember something I learned in philosophy around 2 years ago:
"Love is the movement from a lower value to a higher value."
I somewhat miss those hard days of studying philosophy now. Hmmm.
In other news, work has been fine. There isn't much to do there where I work, but that's also because I'm just a temporary worker there. Nevertheless, everyone has been nice, and I like the fact that people encourage me to continue learning Japanese there. I've been doing my best learning Japanese to prepare for JLPT3. I've only just started, and kanji's really pain. T_T Oh well, I'll survive. I also like the fact that one of my officers encourage me to try out for the scholarships, making me feel like it isn't all that hard to get one. I know that Finance hasn't been my strong point, and although I did study a bit during senior year, I was discouraged by the high level of understanding my classmates had at the time, as well as other pressuring matters which made just want to give up everything all together. But still, I'd like to try again. I wonder if I could create a niche for myself, something like Sho-kun has done, in his pursuit of his dream of being a newscaster and rapper. In five years, I wonder if I can make a name for myself. Will I already have masters at the time? Will I have acquired JLPT1 by that time? Will I have pursued a bank-related job, or a Japan-related job?
This job has made me a bit more confident, a bit more forward-looking, understood how important it is that the work you do is fulfilling for both you and the company. Employee relations are important. This place I'm working at is amazingly comfortable, not the kind of environment one would imagine in a company-like setting, with cubicles and a mature environment. It has made me relax for a bit, and believe more in myself. Even though it's only for a short amount of time and there isn't much valuable work I'm doing for the institution, I'm glad to have worked here, to be exposed to how it's like to belong to a prestigious institution and to have met such amazing and nice people.
Someday, I'll be amazing as the people I've met, and they'll think of how happy they are to have met me.
Someday.
