I have been working on my ITP report since yesterday, for the whole afternoon and night, as well as today, for the whole afternoon. Finally managed to complete writing on my company's competitors and recommendations. Even though I'm left with formatting and writing an abstract of the report, it seems that the day where I will drop the last word on the report is faraway.
Faraway? "Why am I in this world so faraway from home? Without you, I will be so faraway from home." This is a lyric of Groove Coverage's song titled "Faraway." I love this song. Perhaps, home is really faraway from us in this world. Because earthly home is not our home, but merely a tent. Our home is in the heaven, and we'll return home to be with God only after we have walked till the end of our earthly journey that is meant to prepare us for eternity.
Starting tomorrow, wx and I will have to do telemarketing to all secondary schools. It will be a dread for me. Even though I enjoy talking over the phone, but talking with a total stranger is totally not my cup of tea. Timothy also advised us to consider working for him as sales executive under a commission-based plan and profit-sharing after our ITP, in which we have to solicit new customers, taking care of our customers' needs and so on. My first reaction within me was "How much can I earn?" I'd rather work as a relief teacher, earning 65 bucks a day.
Ironically, I told yin about relief teaching and she actually applied for it after my marketing on relief teaching. But students are monkeys, especially primary school students, wheareas secondary school students are gangsters, unteachable lot. But the pay is enticing enough, at least for a relief teacher.
uccd project meeting tomorrow night. will be home late, most probably after 11pm.
Coming tuesday my group is presenting on thailand for uccd, and I've already got in mind who will be chosen to act in my roleplay. And in anyway, participation in other group's presentation is mandatory because it will affect the audiences' grades as well, so in fact, I am creating opportunity for audiences to earn their grades.
the only thing I'm looking forward is chalet. end of itp still seems a long way to go, but hope it won't come too early neither, cos I do not want to graduate. Schooling has already been part of my life. Soon after graduation, re-adaptation might well be the key word. bleah.
