Playing The Waiting Game

Since my last paper on 06 May 2005, my life has lost all semblance of routine.


There are no more lectures to attend, tutorials to complete (or "discuss with friends" : read - copy) or thesis to write. It's been about a month since and I think the fact that I don't have to study anymore has not really sunk in. I should be happy - it's the beginning of another phase of life which I have been looking forward to. But now, I begin doubting if studying is not better. Oh well, guess I'm still suffering from the after-effects of graduation blues.


One thing which I dread in the working world is the political games people play in the workplace. That happened to me when I was an intern 4 years ago and I really hated it. Being naive and new to the working world, I just tolerated it until I could not take it anymore and left. I thought that would be the first game that I have to handle now that I have graduated; but realised that actually, it's the waiting game I have to play first.


Waiting for replies from companies I have written in. Waiting to be called for an interview. Waiting to be interviewed for another round (unfortunately, no such luck for me; I'm still stuck at Waiting for an Interview). Waiting for the confirmation.


So much waiting.


Waiting for my life to begin.
