Flashback 2015

What's up!

So I've been struggling with a title to wrap up my entire 2015

I don't want to write Goodbye 2015

I don't even know if I wanna write this post

But I promised to do it in my last blog post

So...

Year 3 with an Internship

Heyyy guys :)

So I realized that my last post was actually back in July and...

I felt a little bad for abandoning my blog like this so...

I'm back yay!

There's so much stuff that I wanna share with you guys but I'm gonna post that up on another post because this post is dedicated for the start of my 3rd year of a university student 
*throws pixie dust*

Aww yeah!!!

So according to my course structure I'm suppose to go for my internship for the first semester :)

Our school held a Industrial Training Day and the IT companies that are interested in hiring an intern would open up a booth here so the students can get to know more about them

Interviews and technical tests are also conducted on the spot so that we won't have to travel to their company for it :)

I have to admit our school is pretty thoughtful sometimes

But to be fair our university is located in the middle of nowhere so...

They did got us out of the school lol!

We all started our internship on the 5th of October and that's a week right after our finals

Here's how the situation looked like

Out of examination halls into the work field

My internship period is 3 months and after that I have to jump right back into school life

No semester break for me :(

Throughout the internship I've had a slight idea of how working life would be

I'm not gonna sugarcoat it.

It's challenging

Even though there's no more quiz/midterms and finals

There's this scary thing called DEADLINES

The whole team would be waiting for you to finish your part to so that they can continue their part

And that my friend, is the real stress

Not to mention you could stare at the screen for 5 hours and still not make it work

The struggle is so real

I was given a week to familiarize myself with the different programming language and then I jumped right into bug fixing and program enhancements

But the people in the office are great

They've been helping me a lot and for that I am so thankful

After 2 months I got into development and even though it's quite stressful I like it 

When the program just compiles and run

And all the test results are just as expected

I get this awesome feeling in my heart like

It's nice to know that I will like my future job :)

The internship that I took was offsite so technically I'm going to different places from time to time

Thank goodness these places are reachable by LRT and a lot of walking

You might wonder why didn't I drive to work

Well as a girl who's born and raised in KL, I always knew the parking rates can be high but when I saw the RM15 per entry sign on the building I was like

Not to mention these sites are all located at the city center

So the traffic jam is no joke either

After all these stats I've decided to take the LRT

For the first few weeks it was pretty bad because not only that the early trains are all jam packed with people, the queue for it was also bloody long

There was once when I waited for 40 minutes just to get on the LRT

After that there were some police assistance at the train station and it got a little better

Just when everything seemed to be okay

THE LRT PRICES WENT UP

I'm only getting 1000 bucks per month man T.T

One more thing that I've realized after working is that

I've changed

I wake up at 730 in the morning, I go to lunch at 12, I go home at 530

And then for some reason I'd be really tired when I'm home

I don't catch up with the latest music anymore

I don't catch up with the latest show episodes anymore

I don't spend hours surfing the internet anymore

I'm just... not me anymore

I guess this is how the working life is. Ohh well.

That's why I'm really grateful that I decided to go for my internship so soon

Now that I'll still have 2 semesters more to go

I know I've been complaining about how life as a student is hectic

But even though it is that hectic, I still found the time to be me

I know that I'll have to let go this part of me sooner or later

So I'm gonna cherish the hell out of the next 10 months of my university life

There's officially a week more under my internship ends!

I'm really happy that I got this experience but I can't wait to go back into being a student who complains about assignments and midterms

XOXOXOXOXOXO
