Says the girl who
landed a stint in an upcoming project at THE International Rice Research
Institute, while trying to maintain a really good scholastic record in graduate
school. Life happened. As summer school
drew to a close, I received a familiar call for an interview, got hired on the
spot and started in a week’s time! I didn’t really have much time to breathe
and relax during the interval as I went back and forth to/from Manila everyday
for a week just to secure subjects for my daddy dearest, as he is about to
brave his FOURTH YEAR in law school. Law FREAKING
school. I still don’t know how he does it; the Man is blessed with a genius of
a brain and mad time-management skills!
If he can do it, so can I! Attagirl! Despite the heavy protests I received from classmates out
of my willingness to look for a job while pursuing my studies, I actually like
the sense of urgency that arises from having my plate full. No pun intended. Kind
of like those months when I killed myself to cement a spot for boxing 6 times a
week in hopes of attaining those bitchin supermodel abs. Having a full schedule
suppresses any room for complacency, hence the natural sense of urgency.
And by FULL schedule I mean 7-7pm twice, standard 8-6pm
office hours and a Saturday class all in a week’s work! At least I’ll have a
library of classic films to lull me to sleep every night, works like a pill!
To keep myself from sounding like a broken record whenever
people ask, my job involves writing/putting together training manuals pertinent
to THIS
project, organizing and facilitating trainings and seminars in preparation for
the project launch, Donor-related reports etc etc. I do not want to divulge too
much information to save myself from breaching a possible intellectual
contract.
And this, boys and girls, is how I committed Social Suicide.
