much on my mind

At 9:33 AM on Thursday, May 04, 2006

i am so freaking worried about my Overseas Student Internship Program placement.

bawled my eyes out ytd.
felt the stress coming to me.
couldn't help it but just break down.
it was a mistake.
huge one.
didn't feel any better even after i cried to myself in the shower.


i'm expected to do the liasing all by myself.
the school wouldn't be subsidising anything for me because i'm self-sourcing.
i'm also liable for my own self and the school will not hold any responsibilities.
i don't know where to start.
there's so many issues that is important cos would need to talk it out with the hotel.
i.e. visa.accommodation.meals.allowance/pay.employment letter.air flights.training programme.

-normal visa is only for three months but my intern there would be spanning over 5 months.would need to talk to embassy about it.
-accommodation is a problem because the only person i could have approached is my cousin in korea but i'm not close to her.have to talk to hotel about this matter.see if they're able to either subsidise my 'rent' fee or allow me to stay in their hotel.
-school recommends $500 for our internship.but in this case cos i'm doing self source am i able to get a higher pay?but if the hotel is either sponsoring part of or my 'rent' or allow me to stay in their hotel then do i tell them that school recommends $500 or is it ok to lower because they're settling my accommodation?
-air flights. on paper, our intern starts at 13 Sept and ends at 26 Jan. but do i leave earlier?or does it mean that i fly there only on the 13 Sept? and as you know,air flights aren't that all cheap.


was thinking since ytd if doing all these is worthwhile.i mean i'm seriously spending alot of time and effort and going to spend alot of money on this OSIP placement.

boyfriend thinks i'm thinking too much. says i should be doing things and not just think.
this is not the point and i also know that doing things is more effective than thinking and worrying. but when it's nearing mid-night, i wouldn't think that the HR manager would still be in the hotel just because he had a premonition that someone from singapore would call. i.e. ME



i'm a pent-up girl right now.even now.since last night.can you imagine?

in LOVE,
