An unofficial farewell to my school years as I bid my classmates goodbye on the final philo class. "See you somewhere, sometime in the future..."

Went through this whirlwind of job hunt and interviews over the last few days. Just accepted a internship offer from a niche industry in the late morning because I chickened out for the other permanent job position at another company - not confident about my own capabilities and afraid of "weighing your colleagues down" although they "know that you are new".

I guess, I am not sure about my abilities either. "Start things slow," my dad said. But look around, people like me have embarked on full-time careers at posh and reputable corporations; they are already sprinting so far ahead of me. And here I am, taking baby steps, testing out waters?

What are your strengths and weaknesses? A question asked way too frequent. Keep track of work progress VS bossy. Calmness VS emotionless. Optimistic VS unrealistic. These are all traits that can easily be turned sour at the tip of my tongue. I probably am not as outstanding as I market myself to be.

I came across this song by comedy band, Axis of Awesome, called "What Would Jesus Do?". Not trying to bring in any religions here, but I found this part of the lyrics pretty relatable.

"Life isn't always easy
It isn't always fun
When you lose direction
Your world can come undone
When you're in need of guidance
And help is over due
You might ask yourself this question
What Would Jesus Do?"



These days, I keep asking myself, what other alternatives I have? What could I have done? What would a clone, Geraldine Number 2, do? Would I risk it? Or would I just dive into this opportunity? Otherwise, would I have taken a break before starting work? Many many possibilities exist beyond any of our imaginations, even when they're combined.

I'm just glad that I now have a small part of my life planned and I'm choosing to let my mind be open to anything that comes at me. Though I might be surprised at what comes charging at me and perhaps, be helpless and having hard time surfacing the tough waters, but (I've convinced myself that) it's all part of the learning process, it's all part of life. I'm having it better than so many others. I shall count and recount my own blessings. 1, 2, 3, 4, ....

I have no idea when's the next time I will appear on geraldine-blues, but it's not closing - I promise. I will go on and on. May you, my dear reader, do too. *Big fat smile* :)
