i dropped by uni today.
cos i got a new job!
hahaha.
just temporary transfer though from my convenience store job.
still under the same 'company'.
just different role.. or let's say position.
CHEH!
haha so today was somehow the orientation or induction.
like a 15 min one?
i got my roster for the next 3 weeks which is awesome.
it's a 5 week job.
which means it will be up till week 10.
and then week 11, week 12 will be at the store.
at then i'm done cos i doubt they'll put me on shifts during study vacation and exam periods.
okay anyway.
the job is with the graduation store.
cos at unsw, the graduation period for potential graduands starts next week till week 10.
so my job? is to hire those people their gowns, and make sure they use it properly and thus make them look good on stage.
CHEY. BIG ROLE.
okay soo if lets say i hate someone i can just put on a wrong sized gown without them knowing muahahaha.
but nahhh. they're all my seniors so raspek eh.
someone significant who will be graduating that i know of is honey!
my supervisor at starbucks and i'll be working on the day she's graduating.
yay.
okay the thing is right i had the 15 min orientation just now.
it was brief she (manager) just showed me how to put on the gown.
so cool ah but at the same time.... i felt super sick.
haha. it's like the invisibility cloak in harry potter you know mcm you don't deserve to use the gown aqilah.. you're gonna be sick if you use it. DON'T DON'T DON'T.
but i had too duhh sorry mr wizard.
i mean not like i want to haha but i had to know somehow.
my manager showed me how to use the bachelor's, master's and phd's gown.
i like the masters one soo cool haha but in an ideal world i won't be using that masters one haha so i took advantage of that one minute chance.
phd one look like datuk datuk hahah can't believe my own blood brother will be using that weird little cap later this year.
okay soo i felt sick right after all that.
not literally sick but inside me i felt like throwing up.
hahah i don't know why but i kinda made an assumption.
that maybe i cannot picture myself graduating.
no seriously and i'm freaking out.
i mean like many other stuffs in life i could actually imagine you know..
like if you wanna go for a holiday to hawaii or something you can imagine your emotions then though you wouldn't know if its gonna be true you still can imagine way before it happened right.
so i thought maybe when i slipped into that bachelor's gown just then i could imagine myself wearing it in exactly 2 years time or 3 years if i choose to do honours whatever.
but i can't. i could not imagine it. scary huh.
that's why i kinda freaked out and felt sick.
maybe with this job is a sign from Him that i have to actually start working hard to get to wear the gown slash invisibility cloak? hahaha.
ahh.
nonetheless it was awesome though i think it would be a nice experience seeing these graduands.
who knows at the end of the 5 weeks i will be super motivated to work hard?
heh still safe cos by the time i actually feel motivated it won't be another 3 weeks till exams start.
enough said this job makes me even prouder of all my friends who has recently graduated.
i think i know how you guys feel now wearing that gown.
not exactly but close. :)
i'm outta here.
feel like throwing up again.
p.s. i would love to look back at this post two years later (or three) laughing at myself while wearing that gown for real. hahahaha. btw faculty of science is yellow not too bad.
i love you really!
