Many of my friends know that I was applying for NIE to be a teacher, but not many know that because NIE is part of NTU, I applied for four other courses as well. First off, NIE rejected me. I can kinda understand why too. If they searched up my social medias, I'm pretty sure I'm not someone they want teaching their kids. My second choice was a degree in English, which I really hoped I would get into, but didn't as well. My third choice was psychology, just because I did it back in poly. And guess what, I got accepted into that. Of all things. I really have no idea how I'm gonna survive this because I lost a lot of my passion for psychology a while back, and a lot of my compassion for people while I was in army.
To be very honest, I didn't think I was going to get accepted for any of the courses. My grades are average after all. And because I was waiting a long time for any sort of responses, I was already ready to sign full time at Chug Chug. I was offered a manager role with a really decent pay, so I honestly didn't mind. I enjoy working there after all. Sure, I complain a lot about being tired and about the long hours, but I complain about everything anyway.
But speaking of Chug, I was recently granted the position of 'Social Media Manager' along with my fellow part-timer, Shannon. We got it much more easily than we expected. We simply asked Xinde if we could run Chug's Instagram, and he gave it to us. And it truly is fun to do something other than portraits. I've been so used to doing portraits, it has gotten boring. Food and products have been a challenge for me, considering I suck at them. And the occasional behind the scenes photos have brought back some memories from when I used to do photojournalism.
I've also decided to stop making my Instagram look professional. It isn't sparking much joy for me that way. I don't know what I wanna do with it as of now, but I'll take it one photo at a time. Maybe finally more photos of myself? Or maybe just nicer photos of food and sceneries and friends.
