This Time Before Graduating

1st year PR: Ok, PR seems hard. People there definitely have excellent communication skill, bubbly personality, and stuff. Suit me? Well, not gonna give up even though it’s hard!

2nd year PR: I love writing. I was even thinking of working in a woman/travel magazine. And second year PR units are pretty much about writing and media. Love it… but good writing doesn’t come easy!

3rd year PR: Just pass? Not distinction? Am I lowering my standard? I don’t want to. But the tutor only gave 2/5 to most groups pitching today!! And I was thinking they were quiet good. Am I not critical enough to spot the weaknesses?

I’ve just recalled how I had fared in Public Relations unit. Now I’m doing 3rd year PR unit, yet it’s still not my last year ‘cos I got 4 years study. Thanks to the double degree I had been wanting to do.

I’m trying not to complain today even though I know, deep inside my heart, many questions are just wandering around. One of the questions that has been bugging me is… what am I focusing on? Honestly I don’t know what the future holds for me, in terms of a job I’ll be getting. Am I gonna be a PR person? Or am I gonna be just an event co-ordinator? Or perhaps a translator? Then where will I settle in?

Such a dilemma for most about-to-graduate students!

I am kinda confused with what I am enjoying the most. Having Ko Anta’s sermon in my mind last Saturday, the question raised is… am I content with what I have been studying for the past two years? And the honest answer would be… I do not know.

Yes, I chose my own course, researched what Public Relations was about when I was back in Indonesia and even chose Curtin University although it’s in Perth (I like Melbourne better)! But there are too many times that I feel like giving up my course. The effort I put into my study is just not comparable to the result I get. Hate it!

Ah Lord, guide me step by step. I’m too confused! I don’t wanna have any choices, please choose one for me..
