I was just pondering on the thought that I will be graduating in 11 months time.
End of December marks the last phase of my studying life.
Come to think of it, 3 years completing my Bachelor Degree has flown by so quickly that I've been taking for granted all the lovely things I can do in Uni.
And plus, this year marks 21 years of being on this Earth.
Omg.
Twenty One.
As I was growing up with older cousins (I dont have older siblings), I've always heard my aunties/grandma's say to my older cousins.."....Wah 21 years old already. The key to adulthood.... So big already ar. Better act more matured.. Going to work already some more..."And now, finally? its my turn... Another 4 months till I turn 21.So all these things have been circulating my mind because I feel I'm not "ready" to grow up yet. I'm not ready to take on responsibilities and start earning my keep.
:(
So I sat down today, and started thinking while listening to my "on-random-play" iTunes playlist...
I've decided to start taking responsibility about my future this year (it's never too late).
Woke up early this morning (compared to my usual 2pm-3pm), went to the gym, had healthy lunch with some friends and came home to shower.
Took the car out and went to Borders alone...
Spent about an hour there choosing what books I should read to gear up for my future..
Hahaha. Omg I Sound so serious, but yeah I am starting to take a teeny weeny bit of seriousness into my future..
*giggles*I walked over to the "Best Sellers" and I came across this book entitled
"Tough Choices" written by
Carly Fiorina.
Carly Fiorina was recently named "The Most Powerful Woman in Business" by
Fortune in the USA.
She was one of the first female CEO of a Fortune 20 company (Hewlett-Packard).
I immediately grabbed her biodata as she describes what it takes to be someone of her calibre.
Now I am glued to it, because her life story is truly amazing.
After grabbing that inspirational book, I went over to the magazine section to grab my first ever copy of
The Economist.
Looks like Sarah is going to get busy gearing up for third year :)
Third year & Working Life, here I come.
