2 more weeks to the end of NS.

The nearer the date, the further it seemed.

I just applied for 3 days of leave followed by Saturday and Sunday which effectively bailed me out from camp for the past few days.

I had good reasons for doing so, for I attended a job interview on Friday and took prior 2 days to prepare. If the interviewing game is not my nature, then nurture be the way.

I revised my Java topics wholeheartedly and researched the company. I felt the interview was okay. It all depends on them now.

Five more days and I would know if my research paper has been accepted for conference. I hope it does. Then, I would get a chance to travel and to present.

Exactly one month to 10 August 2010.

Operationally released date.

And thank god, I have 6 days of unused leave.

That amounts to 1 whole week off duty.

What's my story so far?

Convocation/graduation ceremony just ended 3 days ago.

Took lots of photos with lots of people.

Also made an appearance on live broadcast during the graduation.

Have been using weekends to get enough rest at home and also work on improving/upgrading skills. Also achieved certain milestones over the past 1-2 months.

- Self-learnt the basics of economics and finance

- Currently learning to program in Perl

- Set up a linked in profile

- Set up a personal website

- Cleared 3-4 paperbacks

Truly a good time for self-reflection while waiting for recruiters to call.
