workerbee.

haven't written anything much past few weeks. have been rather busy. work is taking its toll, and travancore is in full swing now. hopefully we'll ride this momentum until november, and actually finish up in december *hopingpraying*.

I've committed myself to the end of the project, whenever that is. as long as it doesn't interfere with uni 2008. so its technically possible that if travancore drags on to february, iamjonlee will have 0 days of holiday... :(

but somehow, secretly, i'm quite okay with it.

because i know that He'll be with me.



Uni will be a refreshing startagain. i know i know, i'll prob get pwned by people for saying that uni is 'relaxing' and 'refreshing', but to some extent i see next year as a holiday haha. while i think that's not the bestapproach to next year (esp since i wanna do well, for once), it does feel nice to have, well. less responsibility. even if just for a year, to have a load taken off your shoulders. to do something not because you're obligated to but because you want to.

believe me, work makes you WANT to study.

while the work load (in doing well) is obligatory, the time for study/assignments isn't really fixed. what i mean is that at least there's some flexibility (freedom) in managing your time and activities. At least i can stay up late for acertainsomething, for example, and have done my studying beforehand or the next day. at work, you've gotta be there doingdoingdoing from xx am to xx pm, whether you like it anot, and otheractivities need to be worked around that schedule (so that you have enough sleep not to get pwned at work).

that's been one of the greatest struggles with work. but praise God, He's already seen me through a year of it. and i've begun to enjoy other parts of work life :) esp the relationships made and the (unlikely) friendships forged. it really is not as bad as i make it sound.

but studying is still better :) haha.

Aiyoh. i'm sucha complainer.



Praise and thanks be to God who is so patient with me.

I think the thing that makes work a pain is the set schedule
Not so much the work

Say IF you could work at your schedule, haha that would make things easier

Then again, at work you need other people's input in the end
meh
