Get a Job? Continue with Master's Degree? I believe Universiti Sains Malaysia's got the answer...

I'll be leaving for Georgetown tomorrow morning, around 4am. You guyz must be thinking that I must have been outta my mind. Yeah, I know, 4am is too much to take, too early and a li'l hard to believe. Well, first off, my parents will be sending me off. Therefore, I or should I say, WE, can leave at whatever time available or deemed convenient to us. I haven't even started complaining so you guyz had better not. lol. Second, we already booked a hotel room so we need to make it to the hotel in time. Leaving early shall promise us that we'll have no excuse if we wish to drive in the slow lane.

I've been packing my stuff for 3 days straight. I'm not exactly a person who really does things at the very last minute. But no matter how early I start packing, I'll surely miss out on something in the end and I'll only find out what I've missed putting in the bag when I'm finally all settled. I'm not saying being prepared is a complete waste, but that's just me. I tend to forget things. I can't even remember many of my high school friends' names. sorry guyz. Tut mir leid. Don't worry, I still remember the faces though. lol.

School of Pharmaceutical Sciences, Universiti Sains Malaysia(USM). That's where I'll be interning. To be honest, I think the 6 month internship our university requires us to go thru is too long. We've been extended for one semester(about 6 months), hence I personally think the 6month internship should be replaced with a 2 month one instead. I'm not sure what to say, I know I don't speak for the masses. But I do think for the plans I've laid out for myself, these 6months are a waste of time. I'd have gotten into USM for a master's degree by now if it weren't for this 6month internship. SIGH...Guess I'll have to improvise.

Many at my university were a bit discouraging when I told'em 'bout my plans. Maybe they were expecting me to enrol in a chemical company/chemical plant for my internship, but instead I made up my mind to intern at USM. They thought I made the wrong decision. Well, they have got it all wrong. I never thought of working right after my undergraduate studies. I've always been meaning to further my studies until Phd. Hence, enrolling in one of the top universities in Malaysia is the first step to attaining that goal. USM is currently an Apex University, and the only one in Malaysia. I've also been told that it's got a world class drug facility. Which is why I think I've made the right choice. Plus, the current economic situation doesn't seem to be that promising. Securing a job in this current grim economic outlook would be tough.

Guess I've written too much. lol. I'll post something up once I'm in Georgetown. See you guyz 'round. Tschuss.
