THE BAD NEWS:
I didn't make it to the three job openings at World Vision, the international organization I was talking about. Apparently, there were many applicants even twice my age who have many years of research experience under their belts. The only consolation I got was that my interviewer said the WV board had a great deal of difficulty in the deliberations, that I made it to the top 6 picks, and that they'd be looking forward for my re-application in the future should I be interested still. He was quite nice, my interviewer. He even gave me advice regarding my future and said I can call him at WV anytime if I needed something.
THE GOOD NEWS:
ICSI is hiring me and I start Monday! I'm happy and quite excited at the thought that I'd be working already...for real. Haha. I hope I can contribute a considerable lot to the institution and enjoy my work and the people at the same time. Gosh, there's so much to do: get a place within the area (I hope there's vacancy in my previous dorm. I need someplace cheap!), buy clothes (my clothes are all in Aparri), acquire needed documents, etc. etc.
Working within Ateneo will be great becasue it won't be that difficult for me to adjust. But I realize that there's a danger in this too. There's a tendency to be cooped up within the environment and my growth as a person can be compromised. I have to constantly remind myself that I'm no longer a student, that I have more responsibilities, and that there's a larger world out there.
TODAY ON YM
Me: Syet, ang tanda ko na...
Pao: Hindi ka pa matanda. Mas mature ka lang! LOL
(Pao, sino niloko mo? Ang tanda na talaga natin! Bwahaha!)
