Closing another Chapter

Okay I know I've been missing for a week or so but school's been acting crazy lately and this is the stage where I either do or die, you know what I mean. There's so many deadlines towards the end of the school term and I had to pen down the list of stuff that I go to finish and boy I feel great whenever I strike them off the list. Recently I had some issue with my work in school and it could be really depressing when you realize that you didn't score as well as you intended to. Major Sigh!

Anyway my school's semester is about to end in 2-3 weeks time and while rushing to meet deadlines is my priority, I have to start making preparations for my upcoming holiday trip with boyfriend to Beijing. Before you people start to give me the eyebrow raising expression, let me verify that we're there for a 2 weeks summer exchange. So its like an educational trip with a tinge of leisure involved although I highly think that the latter would weigh much more when the time comes. I'm so glad that I managed to get cheap air tickets and a hotel room without compromising the comfort. I did a research on the hotel and read the reviews posted by travellers and it seems like this is pretty much an ideal place for tourists and students to stay because its quite close to school and somehow everyone seems to agree unanimously that the bed is one of the best things about that hotel. Oh well, we shall see for ourselves yea.

The end of this semester also marks the end of another year in school, that leaves me with 1 crucial year. I must admit that my grades are average cause I've seen people doing much better than me. But then again, I kept telling myself that there's always another semester to pull me up. As you progress in school, you tend to think a lot about your future stuff like career and what you really wish to do in life. I often think that the best thing you can do for yourself is to think of what you want to do, and focus hard on it. But I know its hardly possible. I used to envision myself in corporate wear, walking down the CBD area with my heels and handbag, and doing whatever it takes to climb the corporate ladder. But I don't know if that is the kind of job for me. I somehow think that teaching is quite suitable, have been holding on to that thought since A levels. Not that I think teaching is not as sought after as those corporate jobs but somehow teaching is probably only suitable to certain people. I remembered a friend once told me that she won't want to do teaching after being stuck in school for 16 years. You could always analyze this from different perspectives and ultimately, its up to you to decide whether it suits you. I think it has something to do with my language subjects, that inspired me to hone those writing skills and to use it as a teaching profession. I'm still looking forward to it though, praying hard that all my effort in uni is worth it.

Okay this is a really lengthy post. No more rants, I need to get back to work, work, work. Keep the engine running friends!
