the 5th semester of my college starts tomorrow. a lot of special things about this one.
firstly, the 6th semester at our uni is reserved for “industrial exposure”, i.e. internships.
so, it’s interviewing season and everyone will be prepping for internship, for companies which will be visiting the campus, and some (including me) who will be prepping for off-campus internship (basically the ones which we find at our own).
secondly, i begin bawling after seeing that time table. this has been the most easy-going time table which we have had yet.
last sem was literally mental and physical torture
and lastly, cause it has the subject which i like a lot, CAD/CAM. it’s just 3D Modelling. it can’t be that hard. right. right????
my 4th sem was my worst semester yet. it was so bad that i dont even want to talk about it. outside of college, i liked, well i didnt like all of it but it was eventful to say the least.
I’ve been thinking about looking for an overseas role, hopefully. i dont want to do remote. i was to join the office. I’m free from basically December this year, all the way upto July next year. It’s a lot of time so i’m hoping that i either get a loooonnnggggg internship, or i’m able to work at two companies.
i really believe that i need a change of space.
physically and mentally…
i’ve been asking oomfies for tips on working on my resume and all the good things.
i really like the idea of staying in SEA tho. been talking to people from singapore and philippines.
singapore, i dont think i would be able to sustain myself on internship money, unless the company offers me some sort of accomodation help. is that a thing tho? i’ve heard that FAANG companies do that, especally Meta.
juwee has been trying to talk me into getting an internship in a singaporean company but live in BGC (Bonifacio Global City). i like this idea but i’m still making castles in the sky, i think.
one problem which keeps bugging me is that i dont do leetcode. and i dont really have many projects to show my skills. atleast i dont think they are that “cool”, you know. maybe i’m just undermining my own capabilities. i dont really know…
but what i do know, is that i NEED to get an internship.
i’ve been trying to design the “project and work” page, but i cant think of a design that stands out. i dont want it to look like the blogroll.
additionaly, i been trying to work on an “about me” page too. but i’m struggling to find stuff about me which makes me look interesting. maybe im just boring?? 😭
what do you think?
anyways, i’m being hopeful and the next 7-8 months holds a lot for me. i just pray that i don’t waste my time now…
