ramblings
color:black">during lunch w a friend today, i told her how very blessed she is because she wouldnt ever have to work in her entire life and she can still live very comfortably. but she didnt agree w me because she couldnt see how that is considered blessed. that got me thinking, would i actually be on cloud nine if say i was born w a 10 carat diamond spoon in my mouth? Every time i intern, the same question bugs me, is this what i will be doing for the next 30 odd years? assuming the ans is yes, oh my i knw i shd just suck it up but im sure as hell gonna have a hard time swallowing and digesting that fact. internships make me treasure my weekend so much more and every monday i make myself feel better by counting down the number of week left. such a depressing thought. and the most ironic thing is, ive been mugging and chasing the typical good girl route of sec>jc>uni all so that it'd lead to the path that frightens me right now.

color:black">i guess the whole point of tisi post is to convince myself why im continuing down the path that i started out on. meanwhile, altho i cant countdown to the number of weeks in the future, i can always countdown to payday ^^ unless..... im #likeaboss and 9-5 doesnt really mean 9-5. heee.
