It has been more than a year since we have face to face lessons, I still remember the crowds of people (‘people mountain people sea’ in Chinese) on the first day of school. It was so unfamiliar to see campus packed with such people lolll.
These 2 weeks had been a roller coaster, some days were good some were bad
I went to Tai O with Cl*** because of “花燈節”. There were many lanterns drawn by the students and I believed the view will be more stunning if we stay till the night.
We didn’t try the famous 沙翁 but peanut glutinous rice cakes in 大澳餅店. The fillings are so richhh😻😻
I had a nice day spending with my best friend and we chat a lot — just talk about random things, life…. I really like spending a day wandering around rather than in a shopping mall hahaha
I also visited Retail Asia Conference that is recommended by my mentor Be***. I had a chance to meet the vice president of RTIA and other professionals. Also I listened to a panel discussion about how customer expectation changes after the pandemic
One takeaway from this event is I had to improve my mingling skills. I am afraid of networking especially in such formal settings, as I am kind of shy. I tend to avoid these activities. But seriously, can I avoid them all? Definitely NO🥲🥲 I should start practicing some networking and mingling skills so i won’t freak out when I cannot reject
I am very excited to swim again after 4 months(? maybe longer hahah. Since I gained weight, I have more strength when I swim which is a good thing 🤪
Late in August, I got an intern interview from F******t. I really like the working culture there, especially after the recruiter showed me their office. But I didn’t get the offer at last and I was quite disappointed not gonna lie. I remembered one night, I suffered from insomnia as I kept thinking about it (I told myself not to but apparently it worsen the situation🤥 I even texted myself midnight (like 3am lol) to spill out my thoughts and worries so I can sleep haha
After I got rejected, I worried about my career prospect again. As a year 3 student, I still haven’t got any internship experiences:( which is rare since most of my peers start doing interns in year 2.
And here I am, still no related work experiences despite having some ideas what I want to do after graduation — supply chain and logistics industry 🥶
Add drop period is still going on, but I am already being overwhelmed by schoolwork
I took 5 courses this semester (at first i want 6 but realized quickly i can’t handle it🥴
Some of my courses — isom 4740 and 3730 are blended learning, other than f2f lectures we also need to watch video lectures🤧 work outside lectures are much heavier than i expected, which means i have to prioritize my time so i won’t get bad grades at the same time not going crazy😵💫😵💫
Also, I found myself keep procrastinating, and not doing the things i planned to. I guess this is the main reason of feeling overwhelmed > piling of work
Hope you all are having a good week!
