What a sunny Monday it is. Loves it much!
It is about a month and a week until I receive results for admission for one of the universities I applied for.
The wait feels really long (made longer by another wait happening concurrently - D32) at the moment.
And long waits make me get cold feet.
Suddenly I don't feel especially confident of myself surviving in a land where I can barely speak the language. Of being alone despite being alone where I'm at already. Of not achieving what I set out to do.
I guess reality checks do this - they tell you exactly what ypu cannot possibly do.
But even as I am typing this, I feel some sort of renewed faith. Like I can do this. And do this well.
I guess clear objectives and good plans do this - they help you push on even in the most negative circumstances.
And so here's a temporary plan for survival:
- Defer entry to the programme upon successful admission, perhaps by a year or two max.
- Sign up for a language course in the summer, three months is much easier to uproot myself for versus two years or more.
- Try to find a job in Korea - send in as many resumes to as many companies that are relevant, even if it means another 100 resumes before I find a good job. Keep in mind that deadline for starting a new job is between August to September. Ideal to start in October. Be prepared to change all plans if a job offer comes knocking. Don't hope for too much.
- Go ahead with that idea - that means all the way, including business plan, marketing plan, financial plan, research and beta implementation. Timeline. Deadline is January or February next year.
Haha. Nope, I can't sit still. After my sked has been cleared of the applications brouhaha, I'm filling it up to the brim again.
Ambitions call, and of course, I admit. The most compelling reason for which I am planning all these dreams is simply because I want to get out of this godforsaken place.
Wish me luck.
