Internships: A Pain in the Arse(nal)

Internships Applied (To-Date): 64 and increasing

Interviews Went: 7

Internships Rejected: 4

Internships Secured: "NAH-thing" a.k.a. zero = 0

Note: Internships Rejected is the internships is that I got rejected, not the ones that I reject after securing the offer (as if I secured any before, duh...).

I just wonder how many job applications will I have to send and how many job interviews do I have to attend before I finally secure my 'dream' job? Well, just keep on dreaming... Coz the day you stop dreaming is the day that you lose hope... The force is strong within you... Be strong, my friend!

I am fucked up

Yes, seriously, I am fucked up... When people are busy studying for the finals, which is just around the corner, I'm still applying for internships and going for interviews. Yes, you heard me... I am still applying for internships... and the day I stop applying for internship is the day that I actually secure my internship for the summer break (or even longer). 3 weeks more before most of the internship positions start. I thought I was being last minute when I started applying for internships in March, but apparently they are even more last minute than me.

Ok, I had this interview last Wed with a Marketing company... The one that asked about my CAP. Anyways, they told me that the results will be out by Friday... last Friday, but till now I haven't heard from them yet... It kinda makes me wonder why ppl in the business industry always don't keep to their promises... If u really don't want to hire, can you at least take the courtesy to inform me. If you don't want to deal with me, then just let the BBA Career Services Center know, and they'll change my application status from 'pending' to 'rejected', so I don't have to think about of you anymore.

Next interview on Sunday with also another Marketing company via skype video call. And I can say this was the toughest interview that I've went through. They gave me a situational question, i.e. "how do you promote fishball in China?". I was seriously stunned... After talking cock for sometime, I requested for time-out to regroup my thoughts, and they kindly gave me 3 mins for me write down what I should cock about for the remainder of the interview session. They were screwing me non-stop for almost half an hour. For everything I said, they just somehow had to screw regardless of whether my point was valid anot. Soon, it changed into something like a debate match, rather than an interview session.

I'm going for another interview tmr for an HR position. I just hope that everything goes well. Wish me luck...

FIN3101 Test 2 (40%)

Today had my FIN3101: Corporate Finance Test 2(Final) at 9am. Didn't sleep the whole night. Couldn't say I was mugging non-stop, but I actually put in the effort for the final push (as if I pushed it along sial). Anyways, nth was coming... I couldn't focus. My thoughts weren't right. I was thinking of something else. Oh my, this is really bad, bearing in mind this is the 2nd time I'm taking the module. Yes, I failed this module last sem coz I was back stabbed and of coz I did badly in the tests too. So, I thought to myself to just forget everything, and start afresh. Hopefully I can sail through smoothly this time round.

Once I step into the LT, I just had a bad feeling that the final would be very difficult. And just as expected, it WAS indeed extremely fucking difficult. Maybe I lack preparation. But even ppl who prepared thoroughly still felt that the paper was very difficult. Some questions I really don't know how to answer. I answered quantitative questions qualitatively. I didn't know what to do. I just tried to "fill up all the blanks" to make paper look less empty. I even wrote a PM to the prof in answer sheet for one of the questions. Pls don't think I'm joking. This is real. Here it goes:

Dear Prof XXXXX,
Can you pls be lenient abit? I don't want to fail this module AGAIN. This is already the 2nd time I'm taking this module. I really don't want to take his mod for a 3rd time. I would be deeply grateful to you if you just let me pass. Even a 'D' will do. God bless you....

Actually I was still unsure I would actually write this down, but in the end I did, but I hope that the Prof won't deduct my marks for writing a letter to her under the answers column. Maybe she'd just give me a big, red cross and just throw my answers into the rubbish bin. I don't know why I'm emo-ing this time round. It's not like I haven't done badly before in exam before. Maybe it's because that it's the 1st time I'm retaking a failed module and I'm extremely desperate to clear it this time round. But come to think of it, I'm seriously not meant for finance. I don't know whether I have a choice of not doing a specialization at all and just graduate with a breadth BBA degree...
