Some of my readers may be wondering why the lack of post these few days.
I’ll let you take a peek of my schedule and you’ll understand.
Tuesday
First lesson in Labour Law. I’m glad I took it.
Open book. (checked)
Interesting and useful (checked)
S/U-able (checked)
Interesting classmates. (Oh)
Year 1 and 2 ask way too many questions because 20 percent class participation is too high a stake to not speak. For the first time in a class, I barely speak less than 10 words in 3 hours.
Wednesday
Assessment Centre (almost full day). We were asked to prepare a 5 minutes presentation on a given topic a week ahead. Played some ball passing game. Had a group discussion.
But what surprised me most?
“How do you sell a radio to the deaf? Answer in 1 minute”
Don’t ask me how I fared. Cause I was shocked and my brain blanked out momentarily (4.17 seconds to be exact).
Thursday
Morning: Trying to convince a dude from MOE that my secondary school’s alumni group is operating effectively, systematically and according to the school’s values. DUH.
Afternoon: Interview with “The Company that never sleeps” ’s HR director.
One of the toughest interviews that I’ve ever been to and it lasted almost 1.5 hrs.
Try answering.
(1) What’s the size of our economy? How much (in percentage) did manufacturing / import / export contribute to our economy?
(2) What’s the political system / voting system like in Canada? What about in the United States?
(3) What would you do if you are the Prime Minister? (answered) Ok, what else? (answered some more). Hmm. Anything else?
Conclusion: I need to read more and remember what I read.
Friday
A meeting with my thesis professor. Oh. Thesis. It was never good to start with.
Before I met her, she said. “Come prepared.”
When I met her, she said. “I thought I told you to come prepared.”
I need a huge brain; otherwise, I’ll need huge hands with a strong arm and a supernatural page flipping capability.
I need to be like Harry. Sponge-like Harry.
HAH. Just when you think it’s all over…
Tuesday
Sharing with my juniors from NP on how my school rocks!
Wednesday
Briefing with the company “with a clam-like logo” for their full day assessment centre
Thursday
Full day assessment centre
Friday
Interviewing with “clam-like logo” ’s competitor.
And on a daily basis, my thesis is haunting me.
(Now, I am not supposed to blog for the upcoming week. Don’t ask why.)
