cos what you don't understand is, I'll catch a grenade for you
One and a half months to go before the new year bells chime, and we welcome 2011.
A reflection post on the year is a little bit premature right now, so I'll save that for another day. I'm just a bit sad that the 30-day blog posts kinda came to a standstill because I just don't have the spirit of "endurance" (for lack of a better word) for these things.
I have accepted MTV Asia because Chanel ended up having "a change of plans", and decided not to shortlist anyone, rendering six or seven people either without any placings in Phase 1, or forced to take up the other choice they applied for. I have no words, other than, we were warned, I guess. Out of all the seniors I'd spoken to about PI, only one or two didn't tell me to self-source. I'm just trying to see the light in all this, that maybe I need the research skills, that it's gonna help me in life somehow.
Not getting Chanel does mean one less opportunity to surround myself with everything French, which is why I'm going to enrol myself in Alliance Français to take classes twice a week. Hoping to get intermediate level, but the placement test looks difficult, with lots of verbs I've never seen before. I'll see if Cablan can give me a crash course before I try the placement test.
I'm also more certain than ever that I don't want to stay here anymore. I don't know how I'm going to do it, or how I'm going to get there, but I will.
