Accountancy interview is over and I think it was ok, though I wished I didn't say "Um" when they asked me what I thought I would be learning if I studied Accountancy. I didn't read up on the courses because I thought I would be asked more on why I want to be part of the university or why I deserve a place in the university. I told them some stuff I remembered and some personal guesses. They were nodding their heads in agreement in general so hopefully I've not made a fool of myself while answering that question.

One of the interviewers was also a relief teacher back in the day before he entered university. When I mentioned the teaching internship program he looked up and asked me about the internship and my experiences. Talking about all these experiences made me feel very nostalgic because it made me remember who I was to my students and all the fun I've had. When I told them that Accountancy was something I wanted to pursue, the university lecturer then asked "but you wrote that you love teaching." I faltered for a moment because then and there I nearly blurted out the real reason why maybe being a teacher wasn't such a good idea. I told them more about what I got from the internship and that I may pursue it in the future but for now Acc is what I want. They backed it up and said that Acc doesn't really limit options in that way and if I still really liked to teach, I could become a university lecturer next time.

I felt really bad because I dragged the duration of the interview, everyone was assigned 10 minutes and my interview was at 2.20pm, I went in at around 2.25pm but I came out at 2.40pm. When I left the room there were quite a few people waiting and I was like oops. Fingers crossed.

Started work at IRAS on tuesday and it's been all right so far, glad to have a nice supervisor who trains me well and tests me by processing cases in front of her to ensure that I know what I'm doing. She also has to do up a manual for future TCOs and since I'm the first one in that department she's been taking notes on what to include in the manual haha. I get to each lunch with Jasmine very often since we're working in the same company and honestly it feels quite nice, since it brings me back to Sec school days when we're eating recess together majority of the time. Hopefully she won't get sick of me since we'll be working together (in different departments though) until University starts.

Haven't received any offers from any university yet and I'm starting to panic. I hear and see people talk about having to choose between options when I don't even have an option so far. I keep hoping and praying that something would happen soon, anything.

I would say my life is in shambles for many reasons, some of which I can't say, but yet it really isn't.
