Chronicles of a Young College Boy

Thursday, January 01, 2009

Happy New Year 2009! ahh been some time since I have written, so what better time to write to start off the new year? well i actually have an alternative motive to this to...I am supposed to begin the application process to internships again, and I have to write cover letters. Writer's block is not the most useful thing to have now...so I'm using this blog entry to start/warm-up my engine....and also reflect on 2008 =).

To start off 2008...I spent a couple of days on cruise with my cousins...fun and memorable times. But too bad I was sick during tht time -_- haha.  and then i have to go back to US to continue my school....you know what come to think of it I don't really remember significant things that happened in the first half of the year...other than spending hours in front of the computers writing a program for a class project lol.

Then only in the summer my year starts to get really interesting...as I have said a couple of entries ago, its probably by far the most fun I had in a summer ever. There were definitely some downs in the summer. But looking back, i thought the ups really outweigh the downs. Then in the fall I started my journey of job-searching. O boy it was one of the most humbling experiences I had ever had.  So far, I have been rejected 4 times from companies that I have interviewed for. I got so accustomed to the rejection emails that I know i am rejected on the 3rd and 4th companies just by reading the first 3 sentences.  Even though people would attribute this to the lousy economy, I would disagree to some extent. Yesh the economy does a play a role, but the fact that other people are getting called instead of me bugs me because this fact is stating that I am not good enough for the companies yet. This is the really worrying fact.  arghh now my mind is drifting back to the cover letters...lol I know the whole entry seemed like I just want to get to my cover letter...haiz I will do my best to write another entry to reflect on the events that occured in 08.  For the mean time, wish me luck =).
