Hello world, are you listening?



Hello world!!!

:(  I’ve been really busy with college and assignments and hence, for my long absence here.

It’s friday today and I am absolutely happy about it because love is coming home today, I hope. I can’t wait!!! =D

I have three more weeks till I can officially proclaimed that I am no longer a student. Shuckkkkss!! That doesn’t sound nice at all. Aside from my heavy workload at college, I think being a student definitely has its many perks, especially when it comes to skipping class! That’s like one of the best freedom one can ask for as a student.

Three more weeks and I am counting… =( It’s going to be a really fast phase before I have to step into the evil corporate world. I’ve always viewed the working world as evil because it takes up all the time in the world.

Just recently, my lecturer was speaking about ‘burnout’ - what are the symptoms and what are the remedies? Honestly, I think very often we don’t want to agree that we are ‘burnout’ but we would rather acknowledge it as giving our fullest commitments and taking real accountability for our work. We will convince ourselves that we are working hard for the future and we will reap the benefits in the end. It’s true to a certain extent. I can’t deny that when we are young, it is the perfect time to give our all because opportunity only comes once in a lifetime. Unless you are very blessed or let’s say miracles happen, maybe there’s second or third time charm. Oh god, I am digressing!! =)

But yea, what I am trying to say is that very often we don’t want to admit that we are ‘burnout’. By the way, according to the text book, one of the remedies is to convince ourselves that ‘dedicating yourself to your job now is necessary for the future’. AHAHAHAA … i just find it so ironic amusing that we have to give our all to our work but at the same time we have to stay sane.

How is that possible? Honestly, is it possible to do so? I am yet to discover the answer. Maybe in a few more months time I will be able to tell. Hopefully, I am still sane at that time. =))

Have a great weekend everyone!
