The holidays are here. Not much of one this time round because I'm on internship. Had less than a week of real holidays before I had to start work. Since internship is 12 weeks long and the holidays are also 12 weeks long, I'll only have week 0 to take a break, assuming that it isn't extended because I have to go for ICT in the middle of June. Means I'll miss the most fun week of hall orientation.

I tried to apply for deferment but it was unsuccessful because they have this black out window where they can call uni students to go back for in camp trainings. The 3 unis are supposed to guarantee that there will be no academic programmes during that period. Need to clarify what happens when there are academic programmes, such as VIP or special term. It's weird cause there are those who are on some list which exempts them from call-ups.

Working a 5 day week 8.30 to 6pm job is really a slog. It takes 2 hours for me to get home during peak hours, then by the time I've finished dinner and washing up it's 9pm. A couple more hours later and it's time to sleep to prepare for the next day. Then the whole cycle repeats itself.

Weekends suddenly seem very short, and a long weekend is a great relief. One good thing about my internship is that I don't have to bring work home, so can do my own stuff when I'm not working.
