It’s been 2 years. Looks like I lost interest in blogging after my grad trip HAHAHA. So much had happened since then.
Who would had believed that despite my shit grades, I managed to land myself a job even before graduation, at the place I really wanted to work at. Although I learn many things, ultimately that is not what I wanted to do. My interest in translational work is small, and doing drug testing on mice is not something I enjoy.
Let’s just say that working at a hospital research lab is not the best thing that happened to me because of the pandemic. Shit happened, unhappiness rose, my colleagues left and I had to take over many roles and responsibilities in a short period of time. And to be very honest, I like having lots of responsibilities, I like being in charge. But sadly, I wasn’t compensated enough to motivate myself to stay on for the full 2 years as I initially planned.
I got accepted into a PhD program in my second try and I bit the bullet. I’ll do anything just to escape that hell hole without being NEET. The start of the program was not smooth at all. Things did not go the way I planned, but eventually everything worked out fine. My supervisor seemed to be a very nice person and I think she will be the mentor I need in my career. Let’s hope the next 3.5 years will go well and I graduate in one piece.
We’re in the middle of a pandemic, with the end no where in sight. Life had became so boring. I actually missed the exciting days when I first came back to SG, but things dwindled as I start work, and went downhill quickly with the Covid situation. My life plan was ruined and there’s a period of time I felt absolutely hopeless. The only person who can make my life better is myself and I plan to do just that.
May god give me the motivation to journal down my PhD journey HAHAHA but bleh I’m sure this is some 半分钟热度 thing. But yea who knows.
Oh and I didn’t fail my module. Thank god. My grade is shit la, but really at this stage who cares about GPA, as long as I don’t get kicked out of the program. As long as NUS approved the exchange program, I’m very very stable in this program, at least until QE I guess since the two modules I’m planning to take next semester does not have exam.
