Gosh, i havent blogged for a week?? thats interesting. it really shows how busy i am.. in fact i still am, but will spend 5 minutes with this. It's been real hectic, and really trying for me.. thought i took the failure of driving test well but no.. i'm not over it yet.. jsut the thought of another $500 coming out.. either from mine or my mum's pocket.. sucks already.. i've been loaded with work.. i had a major presentation today.. a big accomplishment i must say. I had to read a whole book, "The intellectual base of Social Work practise" By Lewis and present it to the class. I managed to finish reading it at 3am last night and my presentation went well today. Praise God. i am NOT into reading and the last time i completed a book was lastyear when i had to read "the lost boy" and write a paper on it. Then before that.. all the books i finished reading were LIT books.. all because they were graded, this was no exception. Well, i'm glad its over and done with. With all the books i'm reading now for my research, i am beyond what i thought i was capable of doing. Met my supervisor yesterday.. oh my proposal got "rejected" again cos of ethical issues.. so i had to reframe certain things..The meeting was good cos we managed to settle certain things.. think both of us are tired of proposals flying in out out and not getting my hands out in the field yet.. I HAVE TO GET IT STARTED. Gosh, i have barely 2 months. Scarcity of resources: TIME! Now, i'll be working with 17-21 years of age. Leaves out a lot fo rpoblems for me.. but my dsupervisor wants me to carry on and work with this research after i graduate.. pretty cool..I was so exhausted after meeting him , like all my brain cells were fried and had such a long day till 8.. not leaving out the fact that i was blur throughout my malay class.. It was torture last night as i endeavoured to stay awake to finsh the book and ppt presentation for today.. still don't know how i managed it.. By God's grace.

I had my first video production session in the studio today. I'm doing this module known as "special areas in sw practise" and we are required to do a 8 minute video on some form of public education. Think we are deciding on the disabled buskers. So we have like 4-5 weeks of sessions to learn to use the video, script writing, photography etc.. was so cool..something to cheer me up actually.
Today my friend came along and said that he was rushing his applications for jobs at MCYS and he said that they only open employment opportunities once a year, in FEB. CRAP!! my friends are looking for jobs already.. i really think i need to get my hands into the job market soon.
I applied for a MCYS scholarship but its not positive that i will get it so things remain really uncertain..*confused*
3 Days ago, i came across another scholarship for masters in the University of Washington , st lLouis and its a special academy that trains future leaders of the country.. i did have a strong urge to apply for it and i have about 12 hrs to think about it.. but now, the strong urge has disappeared..That day. Marcus came to church and asked me what i was doing and he was like, "you're like forever studying!". That struck a cord in me. But i am going to be working or the rest of my life!!! And i wanna run away somewhere far away..*in my dreams again*
So my sister got posted to Maris stella high for her 10 weeks practicum. She's frantic about it being an all boys school.. PLMGSS called her up for interview for a permanent position after she's out of NIE. she went for the first round and will be meeting the board of directors tomo. Praying she'll get it. Then i heard that the principal asked about me.. enquiring if i could work as a counsellor in PL.. asked me to call them.. NICE.
JOB opportunities coming my way.. the more the merrier.. But think i'm going to apply for some MCYS positions in the mean time..
I have my ethics form to send in by tomo. Gonna be rushing that tonight. GOnna be teaching a leadership course to Nan hua high on Thursday and then i can finally rest on FRI! well, not for long though.
Alrighty. enough for now.
(YOU) who are supposed to call me, i'm still waiting..haha
