but I'll probably go to sleep after updating this blog.
Life has been good to me so far. I quit my job about 4 months ago (June). It was a great job, don't get me wrong. The salary was great too..I get paid enough to financially support myself. The reason why I quit is because I wanted to go to college. I wanna do what normal 18 year old does.. Go to college and meet new friends. So I went to this education fair with Viven and looked around to see if any colleges would accept the o level failure like me and luckily, I found one.. So I went to apply at this college for the Certificate in English studies in April and waited for them to email me the orientation date. And so they did. I went there, and the funny thing was.. the marketing person said that they were currently out of students for the Certificate in English course and they offered me another course called the Intensive English Program (IEP) and TESOL instead...
I was really confused that time... but I took the course anyway. I went to sit for the placement test and they placed me to Level 5 in IEP cause they thought my english was good enough and I only need to attend classes for 2 months. At first, I thought that could directly get a diploma with the IEP and TESOL results..but it turns out that I couldn't cause I asked the academic unit about it.. I then found out that there was a miscommunication between me and the office administration the other day when I went for the orientation where they told me that the course I originally registered wasn't available yet. I was slightly angry at that point cause I paid for the school fees for nothing..So I had no choice but to complete the course cause I already paid for it..
And as for TESOL, at that time, I just don't see the point of me taking that course since I can't get a diploma with that and I wasn't really interested in that course anyway. And so, I completed level 5 and 6 in IEP and gotten my results..
So yeah.. I consider this as bad college experience cause I wished I could have handled things properly.. but there's no point in regretting it cause what's done is done.. and I don't blame the college either. Besides, that result can be useful for my future college application and work application.
As for right now, I'm currently looking for a part time job while getting a driver's license cause I passed my driving theory exam (yay!). After that, I'm going back to college..a different one this time and I hope I get accepted.
And this.. is my college experience... a bittersweet one
I hope I can do better than this next time
Until next time.
