first quarter of internship

2.5 weeks of internship done! my impression overall is that generally people here get the work done, r a lot more unhinged, and also i learn more than what i did previously at goodyear (although the office a bit small sia shag).  definitely there have been many funny moments. in no particular order: they drink milk tea everyday; there is this guy who thinks that u can control what lung takes the impact of the vape/cigarette (i fucking died at this); dirty talk everyday without fail; constant teasing about what other ppl do; shit-talking the previous intern because he was really unaware of surroundings and awkward and gave the bare minimum in the job; gossip about how useless the frontline offices in each country we have a connection with are kinda useless (only SOME offices most r okay); my ceo picks up trash that can be recycled from our individual bins every morning; one coworker came in absolutely hungover on friday morning an hour late for work and his breath still smelled of a...

may (and june first)

honestly as may passed i started to realise that with so much time there were some very depressing thoughts that started coming back to haunt me and give me some p bad insomnia. so i was just really taking the time to myself and just being in my own circle and not rly working on anything and just procrastinating things.  went to tokyo for the first time for a maritime/trade study mission and it was honestly very fun! there is so much good food and tall buildings to shop (12 story uniqlo, 8 story donki, 6 story muji wtf). thought those were stuff of dreams. the people were p nice too, or at least they all were until my phone battery ran out in the middle of one of the nights (tldr: i wanted to shop at donki, both my cards failed, saw my frens, but my phone died when i wanted to ask them to help me pay as we agreed and i also didnt make clear where i would be queuing to pay). so eventually i had to walk back and the 1h50min walk was insanely tiring bruh my feet were so sore, i had to...

april

apologies for not putting up anything over the past two months - it was never dead, just hibernating xd but yea i was busy with finals then i got lazy after coming back from japan so...yea we r here ig. and i think at the start of june i did promise myself 'okay i had a list of things i wanted to do, ive done a very selected few and there's still many more, so i shall make full use of the 10 remaining weeks of summer to do as much as possible'. and this is one of them.  i remember april being a very stressful period. not as bad as sem 3.1 obvs because i didnt have 3 excel projects to deal with this time LOL, but definitely still hurting from some things i did in march. project week was kinda wild - i had to rush a law paper in about 4 days (which isnt the worst btw...) over the weekend prior and i somehow managed to get an A for that HAHAH i think i was just very thorough about the tariffs impact on the US and ig i gave a good balance of what the actual ruling was and my ow...
