AGAIN! ANOTHER UPDATE!!!Reason being is that I'm not use to sleeping this earlier now. Probably sleeping by 12am would be considered relatively good. I'm rather bored, refuses to read anything or research anything regarding cooking. Though it can be one of my hobby, to read and research on these stuff. Overdosage make me feels sick of them. And I know, once I feels sick of them, I would start to hate. To refrain from such thing happening, which would eventually affect my passion for cooking, I don't do them when I'm physically and mentally strained.
Being able to keep in track, and holding on to continue in this course is rather challenging. It seems easy. Like secondary, we have no choice, we can't drop out. But for now, as and when I want to leave the school, I can simpily sign and go. That ain't me, I'm holding on strong, losing my grip from time to time.
So far, this 10 months haven't been an easy one. Starting of school was fine. Till friendship problems starts to occur. Then studies gets rocky, modules getting tricky and school became cranky.
Whoever who reads my blog, would know about the friendship problems. So what I meant by studies gets rocky is that my studies getting really unstable. My time are so cramped up. I have difficulties staying focus as well. I tend to get my mind flying somewhere else, and not shatec.
Modules getting tricky. The last few modules that I'm doing now, are really heavy. I no longer can store what taught in class, which I used to be able to recap through my mind easily. I'VE GOT NO IDEA WHY(?!) I CAN'T DO IT NOW! Lessons taught, informations given, all are complicated.
Last but not least, I swear SHATEC SUCKS! I used to believe that shatec is once again picking up themselves after the downturn 7 years ago. They started off by trying to gain student's trust. But they don't seems to be keeping to their words, nor what are mentioned in the contract.
Shatec is a contract based college. We got into shatec successfully through interviews. We signed the 2 years contract for this diploma. Then reading carefully each and every terms and conditions that applies. Yes, I signed them, on every single page of the contract.
Then here comes the story after enrolling for half a year.
While we're suppose to be spilt into Rosette, Charcoal & production in the 3rd term. As rosette closes down. Shatec simpily throw us into the workforce for training. And i meant literally thrown there. We faced problems, no one from shatec answers to it. We take actions, our results from coffee club gets affected. So what the hell was shatec doing? We're only suppose to enter the workforce when we finish our institutional training. And the answer came back to us was "I didn't know it turned out so bad, because you guys are the first batch." Such an unprofessional way of answering to our sufferings at Coffee Club.
We came back from coffee club, had a clean cut with them after 1 whole fucking month. To clear all the pay. To get back what we deserved. Case close. While everyone was being patient and waited for the school to give the que to apply for internship. They made us wait and wait and wait. Finally they came to us on the second week of May. And they gave us the talk, starting off so damn nice. Then came the fucking big bomb. They need us to pay $300 for a job portal. Saying that this job portal would have professions handling with us, find us internship placement and stuff like this. Making it sound as though it is really that important that we've got to sign up for you. My class had a debute with them instead. They couldn't answer our questions. They tried to escape our questions. Giving nonsense reason like they just join the school for 2 months.
Oh fuck it. That shouldn't be how a establishment be working. They can start this plan with people who join january 2009, afterall they still have another 6 months plus before going out for attachment. It is so not up to standard, for them to promote a proposal that been submitted up less than 2 months for approval to us. And treating us like guinea pig. HELLO?! SHATEC! Damn this asshole school. And I meant it.
At first I had the thought of joining the job portal, pay them $300, let them do the job. Then to think of it again. Seriously, it's not worth it. Even though you may have them to do up your resume to make it so damn fucking atas, even when you get the job at the hotel of you choice. You are not willing to learn, you're not willing to be hardworking. Then there wouldn't be to your benefit at all. So, I depend without the job portal. Finding external help.
If I have the heart to learn, to be trained. There would be someone out there, willing to teach me.
So a longer post today? HAHA! alot of rant. I want to go on!!!
Okay, all those mentioned above, kept me real busy. So I wouldn't have much time to chat with him, to think of him. Which is good anyway - it's suppose to be negative for me. But I seriously got no time to think. No time to let my imagination run wild. I get so tired, that I've forgotten there's someone I placed in my heart. I've forgotten my external friends- please don't blame me. This is how tired I got. Maybe the only time for me to get emotional would be before I go sleep, or when I was napping on the train in the morning, whereby I would literally fall asleep, in my lala land, unconcious about my surrounding.
Have I gotten over C? I'm not 100% sure yet.
