well how do i start. i went back there again today and everything felt so right. it's just like i'd never left. even the receptionist, usually black-faced, was happily chatting away to me. to see the familiar rooms, library, cubicles, people, even the view again .. amazing.
internships are doing me a whole lot of good. really. i'm not as daunted by the future as before now that i know that work is not as horrible as i once imagined it would be. i'm actually looking forward starting yr 4, learning new stuff and finally doing my pupillage, plc, getting retained (hopefully), my own cubicle and all that. compare all this to the depressed pessimistic escapist me a few months ago. no prizes for guessing the firm which awoke this sudden yearning in me. i can even imagine doing uncontested PTCs by myself 2 years down the road without getting clammy hands and breaking into a cold sweat. and of course, striding down the long spacious gleaming corridors, impeccable in black and white, files in my arms, waiting on the couches outside the chambers making small talk and most importantly, glowing with the knowledge that i am, finally, one of them. that i belong. to one of the most elite professions around. what a glorious thought.
i've just to my horror discovered that due to the new semester starting 1 week late, we will end 1 week late as well which means that stan chart will now be right smack in the middle of exams. esp since i'm planning to take conflicts, the exam for which is on 8th dec.
a chance meeting on the train in the morning which just brightened up my entire day. an unexpected email from someone, and i can't stop smiling inside. it's amazing how some people and places manage to affect your life and touch you in such a way even though you've been there for only such a short while. and i'm beginning to feel like i know that's where i want to be. it's where i want to learn, grow up and mature, among the wonderfully sincere and fun friends i've made and receiving the highest standard of care and guidance. but i can't keep relying much longer on representations alone. i need to know. for sure. argh. 3rd july please come quick!
