I've been meaning to blog for a while now, but I just couldn't find the time to. The past few weeks were really crazy times, and it's amazing to look back and realize that it hasn't even been half of the semester yet. I honestly could not remember when was the last time I felt like, Phew! I can finally take a breather! Finally, yesterday I finished an assignment that was due today, and I felt such relief. Even then, I could say that I did not give my all for my final year project - it was left unfinished because I could not bear squeezing out another word out anymore. My brain capacity must have shrunk from all the heavy thinking I have been doing, or maybe it expanded? Hahaha. Seriously, I was at my limit of writing creatively. Even this post sounds crappy because I'm just writing whatever comes to my head right now.
There's still a lot on my plate, but I guess I could take a little break right now. I have utterly zero mood to do any academic work right now, I was even trying to force myself to do one of the assignments for one or two hours earlier, but guess what? I didn't manage to even come up with one sentence. At times, you think you're superwoman, you can do everything in a disciplined manner; constantly and without stopping. But sometimes, we need to realize that we are not machines, we are not meant to work, work, work without stopping. We have emotional and social needs that need to be attended to too. I could tell you that I was on the verge of breaking, especially when I had that feud with my boyfriend, but yeah, I made it without breaking anybody's hearts (I hope). Though I did snap at a few of my friends when I felt on the edge. Sorry, guys.
Riiiighttt, back to the whole point of this post, I have some pretty exciting news that I was ecstatic to share two weeks ago. Drumroll please? Jeng jeng jeng! I got my internship at Piktochart! Weeeeehooooooooooooo! Finally this whole internship thing is settled, all that's left is just some formalities and I'm all set to start my internship! :D The whole application-test-interview process lasted for about two weeks, and it was in the midst of all my assignments and final year project, and yeah that's one of the reasons why I was so worn out too. But it's all worth it when I got accepted into their internship programme and right now I'm so excited to start! Although it wasn't exactly what I was looking for, but it's a totally new field for me to indulge in and I'm already excited as to how much exposure I'll be getting. Check them out if you haven't already heard of them! Click here, it's free to use. =)
I've really gotta thank everyone around me - my family, my boyfriend, my friends - for supporting me at such stressful times. Initially, I was not too sure if I was capable enough for this internship because it's a UX Researcher intern, and I've never even heard about User Experience (UX) before. My boyfriend pushed me to apply, and to go through with the test, so yeah. I remember beaming with pride when my parents congratulated me and told me how proud they were. =) Nothing beats family love. Not forgetting my brother's FTS when he found out how much my internship pay was. Also, my boyfriend's unsupportive speech about how now I have to pay for everything he spends. Ahahah. Such love.
