Hunting in the dessert

Hi there! I always find my self inspired to write at the wee hours of the night. I guess it's quiet with less distractions which makes it easier to think and pour your mind out.I went to my first real serious local "job" associated activity this morning. It wasn't really a real job, it was just for my practicum but still, it marks the start of my budding career in the very "beautiful" airline and hospitality industry. ok.ok..i'm over acting again. I guess i got it from my mom! ;-)It wasn't quite the experience i imagined. It was freaking hot and my friend Sheila and i are not really familiar with the area. We took an FX to Buendia then waited for a taxi which took forever to find. We felt like we were in a dessert! We were in full corporate attire with heels and the whole she bang! It was horrible..we were sweaty and sticky and still have to go through the encounter with our possible employer! Anyway, enough of my rambling. We got to the place,asked the guard how to get to the office, got lost, found out that the person we're looking for is already not associated with the company and finally submitted our papers. It just took us a few minutes in the office and then we left. Whew,,the "getting there" and "going home" part took most of the time. My feet were killing by the time we found a ride home. I guess, every applicant has to go through this excrutiating experience in looking for a job!hahaha...The company the school recommended was not my first choice, it wasn't even in my choice of companies, but well, i guess everything happens for a reason!I have to wait for a text message in May for our interview..I hate waiting for something that doesn't even guarantee that you get the job!Hopefully everything turn out great!
