finally blogger's toolbar is back to normal. not that i use it often though. had my rare offday from work last thursday and i had to waste it going down to nus. me and sy were supposed to meet the admin staff and the prof at 10am and 3pm respectively. and each meeting only lasted 10 minutes. total waste of time. but at least my internship and fyp is secured though i havent got the project yet. totally sian when he told me it will be mostly cell and molecular work. i prefer DNA work actually. spent the break at central library's perk point chatting with sy. its such a relaxing place with comfortable sofas and dim lighting. why ntu library dont have such space... went to waraku's pasta restaurant at central after that. the food was quite nice though the tables were too close together.
i've gotten used to work. know some invigilators of our age, especially one who's also doing life sciences. for me, colleagues are very important whether i like the job or not. at least i dont feel as bored now. encountered my first cheating case too. some candidates really go to all lengths to cheat. it has been an eye opener. wonder if there are cheating cases in ntu too.
speaking of ntu, the news reported of the good prospects of ntu graduates yesterday. the report states that 98% of graduates found jobs within 4 months of graduation and their average pay is $2700 a month. buisness graduates get $200 more on average, though statistics are based on only 30% of the cohort. thats a really high amount. wonder if its really true. the first batch of bio science graduates get an average pay of $2300. i think even that amount is higher than in reality though. hopefully the job market will remain this good when we graduate next year. to friends who have graduated, good luck in finding jobs!
