Finally ended my last day of work yesterday! It was a pretty bitter-sweet experience – i felt so relieved on that day but at the same time was so sad to leave the people behind, having made quite a few good friends there. Gonna miss the other interns, my team and mentors. But in the end I guess the joy of leaving the job behind (it was getting a little dreary towards the end) overrode the sadness and so my last day at the archi firm turned out to be my be my best day there HAHA. It isn’t every day i get showered with gifts and cards, meal treats and good food, so..yep. 😀 Furthermore, there was an intern I didn’t quite take a liking to and was looking forward so much to getting away from him, but i guess being the last day yesterday, my tolerance was really high and i ended up talking to him a lot, finding out alot more about him and realising that he’s really not as bad as I’ve always thought he was. Pity I didn’t realise that earlier:/ On the contrary, there was another guy intern I actually grew to fancy, but turns out there was someone else he liked and it was mutual for that girl, so i guess it’s good to get away and get him out of my system HAHA. Quite glad he wasnt going to the same university as me, or else i would be pretty distracted lol.
This internship was a really great experience in my opinion, having met quite a handful of awesome people, learnt a lot with regards to architecture and received some really valuable advice from the seniors. I’ll admit though, after hearing so many architects dissuading me from taking up architecture, I’m a little shaken. Might give architecture a second thought since i still have about a year before making the decision.
Speaking of university, I think I’ve already gotten more used to the idea and am more mentally prepared for it compared to a week ago, when I was so afraid I almost decided to take a gap year just to avoid it. Surprisingly, I’m getting quite excited about it hahaha NEXT WEDNESDAY YAY. 😀
Ive been wanting to go shopping for university stuff – clothes, bag, stationery etc and I put together the below on Polyvore what is on my want list currently. Quite in love with tie-front tops, zip-up hoodies and black leather backpacks(:
TOO MANY THINGS I WANT, TOO LITTLE MONEY):
