To those of you who have not heard the news... I've gotten a HK internship from SMU and im leaving next thursday 20th April. I wont be back until the 22nd of August. Yep, 4 months...
I just got the news so im desperately trying to prepare for it. While it is a great opportunity and experience, its also quite a stressful one. For example, work begins in almost a week's time and the company expects me to handle my visa, air tickets, accomodation by myself! This means that i have to get all these done by thursday and tomorrow being Good Friday, doesnt really help...
My company is called the Hong Kong university of Science and Technology and i would be assisting in their program developments. Hopefully, i can do some liason work between Hong Kong and China. My work is scheduled to start on the 24th August. Going there earlier to recce a little, hunt for accomodation and just try to start getting used to life there.
Now that we've gotten all the details out, its time to talk about emotions...
Im scared, i really am. Its going to be my first time away on my own for so long and i really have no clue on how its going to turn out. I mean, its me you know?someone who doesnt take a bus if she has the choice to and has absolutely no clue on what bus and which direction to take to anywhere from anywhere. Oh well... i guess its about time i learn to be more independent and its about time i take matters into my own hands...
Coupled with the fact that i just received confirmation this week is really putting me in a frenzy. I feel like theres so many things i want to do before i go and there's so many people i want to meet up with before i leave. But, my exams end on Monday and i have that ridiculous FT dining in thing on wednesday. I'm packed right till the 20th... I wont have time to meet up with my clique, my family and my friends.
Oh well... i hope the experience will be all worth it at the end... as someone has said to me, "im already stuck with it, i might as well make the best of it."
