i'm going nuts trying to make a decision...
USP is offering an internship with Grey Global...
this advertising company i remembered doing a quotation for while at Milk...
they're really huge...
explaining the cost of the project...
so the internship is really attractive...
pays around $600 a month...
which is pretty good really...
for a part time internship with flexi-hours of 20 per week...
it spans from Dec to March...
which means a good amount of money for Work and Travel, holidays or whatever...
i'm talking like i applied and got it...
far from that...

Dec to March means that the intern has to clock 20 ON TOP OF school hours...
this sem alone...
i'm already going mad...
my only other committment is the guy...
who would be rather glad for something to get me off his back 24/7...
i heard the engin modules next sem are worse...
and i have to pile on the USP modules...
i'm heading Sea Sports Camp...
which i would probably give up if i really want the internship..
windsurfing trainings and competitions...
20 more hours for work will be insanity...

but Grey is so big...
this is probably my only shot at anything near the creative industry...
who knows i might impress them and they actually grab me when i graduate?
DREAM ON!
but then again...
it's the best way to find out if the industry works for you...
before you actually need to go out there...
into the real world...
like P said...
"success is not about working hard...
it's about knowing the right people..."
and man...
it's true...
all my temp jobs were through recommendations...
and they rock...

how how how?
i dont know if i can manage...
i probably cant...
but then again...
when was my life in the education system ever uneventful?
secondary school...
windsurfing, basketball, class committee...
junior college...
windsurfing, students' council, mad-woman-who-goes-around-class-terrorising-everyone...
university...
windsurfing, USP, 'the guy?'...
(USP is included coz it's extra sai-gang with no perks, no purpose whatsoever...
but i like...)
i want to do another stress test...
maxing yourself to realise your full potential...
of course...
it came with the complimentary breakdowns, panic attacks and whatnot...
dad doesnt really have an opinion on this...
but i dont trust my own...

applications close on the 18th...
please advise...
