FINISHING SCHOOL!!!

cant believe it..i am actually going through FINISHING SCHOOL!

huh? FINISHING SCHOOL? you may ask..
k..let me brief you..
this not so brilliant idea of a program is made specially to cater to final year students by the UPM management... objective? melahirkan mahasiswa berketerampilan.
well..frankly...i'd say its just a program where the students gather..lepak..share thoughts..widen horizon..& work their buttocks off to speak in English with and in front of everyone else..
there are may plus points..IF your facilitator is cool enough...
the minus points are glaring straight to my eyes..but i'd rather not dwell my thoughts on that.

my group as a whole is lucky to have Madam Roxana Dev Omar Dev as our facilitator.
she speaks almost perfect Amerian English. i'm guessing she went to the States for the uni studies.
she is VERY ENERGETIC. SMILEY & all.
MOTHERLY! she even brought milo, nestum, & crakers for us for breakfast! she didnt want to start d activities with us feeling hungry & brain dead.
MOTIVATING. the words that she speaks seems to be very soft to the heart & head. i dont know why but today she had INSPIRED me much!
the best thing about her is that she ALWAYS looks at everyones' positive side & comments on that first..than uncover to us in which area we should work on..communication wise.

tomorrow is another day for finishing school.
will be focusing more on resume writing & job interviews.
im GLAD upm has such a program! n i thank God for sending me Mdm Roxana.
ok..my one & only job interview that i went for was like 5 years ago..for NURSING.
then there was my medsi interview..where i did nothing much but smile & answer the panel's questions & recited a poem for that one particular panel..whose face looks like Datuk K hheheee.
i seriously need to get serious on this job interview thingi. well..if i want to go and teach in the private colleges i do need too get through their demanding & gruesome interviews. :P
i've been writing cover letters for others' resumes.
i can only write a CV. never written a resume for myself before.
i cant believe im actually looking forward for tomorrow. nerd.

went for STARTING SCHOOL in the 1st semester..
now in FINISHING SCHOOL at sem 7.
my 1st DEGREE is ALMOST OVER!
4 years is a very long time... but im one step closer to my scroll everyday!
