Here we go again...

IVLE announcement: "Please be reminded that our first lecture will be on Monday May 8."
Groans. Special term. Groans. I'm not particularly keen on going back barely a week after my last paper. And considering how distrastrously well the studying for last sem's exams went, I'm not exactly too thrilled with doing it again in a month or so.
Yes, yes snigger snigger all you want. Gloat over my misery, especially the NIE-bound folks...
But when I'm finished with special term, you guys are gonna start school heh. And to the people who are graduating, good luck with finding a job because I'm not too keen on being in that position either, even though the thought of leaving NUS once and for all is rather tempting I must admit. However the thought of being thrown out into the wilderness with no direction makes me hesitate a lot on graduating.
And that is precisely why I'm still buying time.
In fact, I'm so adverse to working now that I'm too lazy to look for internships. Perhaps the next holiday huh.. While I'm still a student, I would like to remain one. Studying and slacking are part of my job, until I graduate that is, and by then will have to join the rest of the jobless graduates in moaning about the lack of jobs or brutal interviewers. But until then, I have absolutely no interest in a job as for now. Perhaps I might get a little worried this time next year, we'll see.
In the meantime, things are going to get busy on the education bit. Other than special term, I have signed up for both French and Japanese classes. Talk about an infusion of languages. But it's worth it I expect, in a bid to value-add myself so I can have an easier time in finding a job next time. No, I'm kidding. My ambition is to become a multi-linguist.
Muahahaha. Right.
No, actually I have different reasons for taking both languages. I'm taking, or should I say continuing with, French because I started taking it in the first semester of NUS and it would be a waste to give it up now, not when I have the time to study still. I'm taking Japanese out of pure interest and because I enjoy reading manga and watching anime.
On the whole, I'm taking languages because I enjoy learning them, much more than I would say other subjects and perhaps as fun as literature is but much easier to grasp than lit is I think. Languages (at least French and Japanese) allow me to absorb no matter how scatterbrain my mind is sometimes or how short my attention span is. And I also enjoy travelling to other countries and be able to understand what the native people are saying without having to wildly employ hand gestures, because that can be quite irritating sometimes.
Well, who knows, if all else fails in the media industry, I can always put my skills to use.
