Wasnt as fruitful as I wanted, in terms of academics anyway.

Got through to final interview round for lt@'s Rail Project Engineer, and went for interview on Friday. Thought it went better than my first one, but honestly lots of thinking to do...whether I am really fine with the job. Gave what I think was the safest answer when they repeatedly emphasize that I should be interested and passionate about the nature of the job by saying I am opened to different options and this is one of the fields I am interested in. Deep inside (well maybe not so deep) I know I have my reservations...in fact when I started out doing CE this is one of the fields I wanted to avoid. Not sure what have changed, or if anything have changed at all and this inner conflict is just due to the fear of not being able to get my desired job, pushing me to consider the first available option/way out.

A second job interview, also lt@ but under Road Safety Engineering, asked me to come down for an "informal" interview (and rather last minute too). Another job which I have never seriously considered before, but went for the interview anyway and turns out it's another unit desperately/urgently looking for people to join them (this one kept hinting that I should start in May instead of July). Was thinking it might not be a job I can do well because I used to think that they are a bit too anal...but again, considering it too.

Shall see how it goes..no guarantees that I will get an offer anyway. Was going to send in applications left and right during recess week but for some reason, procrastination took over and it didn't happen. Sigh. TIFS took up one whole Tuesday, FYP another 2 days and job interview prep another day, and there are a couple of outings too, though yea, all these aren't real excuses. Fact is, recess week is over and I am off to face my hell week without much preparation.

Next week: Triple test on Thursday...only three mods this sem, and so happens that they decided to schedule midterms/test/mock test on the same day. Some luck. It would be even more awesome if prof decided to meet on Thurs instead of Wed. Then job interview clinic on Fri morning, volunteering on Fri and Sat, and another French test on Monday. Woohoo awesome!
