The snow has melted. Earlier this week, the temperature suddenly went up to about 15 degrees Celsius, and the white scenery just simply vanished overnight. It’s quite interesting to watch people’s reactions at such a sharp change in weather. With the weather becoming much “warmer”, joggers were out, people were not huddled together at the bus stop shelters, even I was walking outside wearing sandals instead of snow boots.
But then came the rain and wind, and with it a much colder temperature. This morning it was about 1 degree Celsius. It’s kind of gloomy, as the snow is gone, and the trees are left with just their trunks and branches. Looking around, it seems so bleak and dark, even in the day. I don’t like it at all. Hmm…. Never thought I would be saying this, but I hope the snow appears again. At least everywhere would look clean and bright and white.
I have gotten into the swing of things for the new semester, the lessons are generally quite interesting, and I guess for now I could say I have selected the “right” modules. Hopefully this thought will sustain for the rest of the semester. Realised that I can actually say, I am going home “this year” now, instead of “next year”. But there are of course a few things still left to be done here before I make that final flight to Changi Airport. Studying, traveling, watching more trashy (and non-trashy) US television, to name just a few activities.
I have been re-thinking my career plans for the future lately. Of course, close friends would know of my “original plan”, and it appears that I am actually nearing the end of the time line. Quite unbelievable. I am quite fortunate, I should say, as I have more or less been able to stick to my plan (with a bit of adjustment here and there) since I graduated from university. Now, it’s definitely the right time to see what to make of the final two years of the “original plan”, and project where I should go from there. Have come up with some possibilities, shall spend some time weighing the odds of these possibilities.
Considerations and decisions……..
