Our first semester and final exams have just ended. And some of my schoolmates will experience semestral break. Good for them because they could go home and see their family and take their break from all the pressures and stress-inducing works at school. Well, I will not be able to experience mine because of my on job training. Wew! though it sucks! But I still have to complete my OJT!! How about you?? Do you have your vacation, too??

Hello there shanemae.. Good for you, it seemed that you have rested much already. Well, i know right. This OJT is for my own good. I should not complain about it. Anyhow, its my third week already.. One more week to go and I got to finish it. But here come the 2nd semester. Wew!! This is alright, at least.. few months to go.. I'll be graduating already. Wew! I can do this!! By the way, I also hope for the best on your life. Take care always!! :)

Yes!! thanks for the encouragement edsss17.. I really hope that I could enjoy my training as time pass by. I know I could make it. I should not loose hope at this time. Anyway, few months more, I'll have my diploma already. So why complain right? Good for you because you have your semestral break already. I'm so happy for you. I am also slightly jealous about that. But because of your support, I realized how to be thankful on my situation. Yeah! I can do this!! Thanks once again! :)

Yes. that's true. Anyway.. I can still have my Sundays.. I can still find time relaxing myself from all the stress I'll have from my training. Well, I do hope that I could also find time working on my online jobs. It seemed that I got to be very busy nowadays. I don't know if I could have my payout for this month. Hmm.. But I'm hopeful that next month I could make it.

I don't get a break either, and I have to continue going to class until the second week in December which is when I will finish university for the Christmas vacation. I have a lot of work that I need to finish between now and then, but I am hoping that I would be able to get it all done to the best of my ability and then be able to relax during the holiday, or maybe come online and spend a little more time making the money that I need in order to pay all of my bills between now and the summer holidays when I will be able to start working full time again.

Wow! Good for you because you will be able to have your holidays.. Because in my case, they do not recognize any holidays for my OJT.. Hmm.. Even sundays, I got to have my completion on our requirements. Wew!! Feels like I'm having the busiest time of my life. But good thing is, I still have the time to work here in mylot and in my other online jobs. However, it doesn't permit me to spend a lot of time doing my job. I only make it to the point that I'll be able to work at least 30 minutes in a day. Wew!! Aja!! We can do this GemmaR!! :)

I am not a student now, but I understand what you mean. You should consider the benefits from your OJT(seeing the glass half-full). There will be other chances to rest and see your family. You will appreciate your experience in the future, in a real working environment. I say it's OK.

I know right Kostas499. Well, I really have to look on the positive effect on me with this. I know these will all gonna make sense. Anyway, I still have Sundays to take a rest. Even though, I can't rest on holidays, I must not feel sad about it. After all, the experience will be worth it. At least, I have learned a lot from that. This could be my stepping stones. So why complain about that, right? thanks! :)

Yes, althea_jan.. I am a graduating nursing student. Yes. I should not get sad about this. Anyway, this seemed to be very helpful on my career. I know someday I could have my free time, too. Of course after I'll graduate. But I think there are still a lot of things to pursue. So I should not complain about this, right? Thanks for the encouragement friend. It was highly appreciated. By the way, how about you? what course are you? are you also a graduating student??

I'm happy to hear that. Happy Graduation. Always keep your eyes on the goal and never let the obstacles stop you from achieving your dreams. :D Nope, i am not a graduating student. I am a second year engineering student. That's why i really envy those students who are already having their OJT's but i know i shouldn't feeling those thing towards them because they've worked hard for that and time will come that i'll be having my OJT too.. :D Take Care and God Bless! :)
