Wish for a lucky charm…

Unfortunately things didn’t work out so great with me for the recent couple of weeks, schedules are severely interrupted, and I was so frustrated with all those unexpected failures. I guess it’s all because I didn’t push myself hard enough and instead have been idling, plus a bit of bad luck. Sometimes I really do believe in luck, although it’s not an absolute determinant of anything happened, but it does have an impact. I had a fortune cookie a few days ago and it told me that some cheerful message was on the way, seriously I hope there is.

It is mid autumn festival today, it doesn’t mean too much for me to be honest. Gathering with family on the day is just not my family tradition. Parents are on holiday, probably in Qinghai at this moment, and I’m thousands of miles away from them. Never mind, I’m pretty used to it. And luckily I’ve got a bunch of very nice housemates and they really drives away my loneliness, if there’s any. It’s just so great to have them.

Our job hunting process has already begun, several career fairs were hold on campus, some with regular titles and some with fancy names but in essence they are the same thing. Pressures from the recession can be easily detected, firms hire much less people, they don’t provide much offer to international students, which is a very serious issue for me. I want to stay and have my own career, within nobody’s but my control. I guess these on campus recruiments can only give some very general guidance and I really need to count on myself to get myself a job.

I still need to work on my driver’s license and hopefully I’ll get it done by the end of the month. There’re loads of stuff I need to deal with, probably will not update my blog as frequent as I had wished, but I’ll try to post an entry if there’s anything I want to share.
