Hi everyone! uhhh its been a quick week >_<
Procrastination... cant stop doing it.
I will do just about anything other than work right now but here i am doing this career plan.
Actually i sat here for about 2 hours before i opened up and started this :(
Any who.. what can i say
Placements is now over for about a week now, and it was a very interesting and insightful journey. I have learned a lot throughout the month and my aims and objectives for my future career has changed a lot.
I now have decided to continue with my studies further and head on to do honours, given that I actually pass this year.. >_< I have not actually chose my honours project yet but I will look into it asap as soon as I finish all these assignments. After my honours I hope to get a job with GSK at monash as a formulation scientist, it is a long shot but I really hope to get there since it is much more interesting than other jobs that I have seen out there.
My strategies are still the same, just work really hard and get to know a lot of people who can help me achieve my goal and get me to where I want to be. It is a very hard time at the moment with all the work load but I guess it has to be tough sometimes and if I just push through I will end up on the other side sooner or later anyway.
My resources I hope that would help me are my friends, teachers and colleagues. Even if they are too busy to help out I just hope they are there for moral support just to nudge me along here and there that would be great! Other than that, I believe that only I can get myself where I want to be, if I don’t have the mental capacity or the willingness to achieve my goals then I shouldn’t have chose those goals in the first place. However, I did and that’s what I want to achieve so im going to keep fighting towards it ☺
Placements have helped me a lot in choosing my career path, and im greatful for all the people who have made it possible for me to have gone through it.
Special thanks to Laurence O, David M, Jonathan P, Stephanie W, Ruth C, Joanne T and Lynda R who all made this possible. ☺

Mid placement
Hey everyone!
Uhhh.. It is monday morning >_< i really dont like monday morning but actually its not too bad so far i had a berrocca and im a little more awake than i would normally be :D
Just waiting for a few of my tests to run so i figured i had time to write up in this blog :)
What can i say so far... GSK is a lovely place the environment here is very nice, the people are nice, and so is the facilities. There is so much open space! I really do not want to work anywhere else now knowing that an industry like this exists hehe. I cant really say much about the work i am doing here at GSK because it must all remain disclosed but what i can say is that i am VERY VERY VERY busy all the time running multiple machines and tests and weighing and making up solutions all at the same time! haha lucky i write everything that i had to do down or else there would be no way i could remember everything. I have learnt alot so far and i really hope to learn alot more while i am here on placements, we are only given 4 weeks here which is not too long but somehow after 2 weeks i cannot see the end hahahah >_<. The first two weeks flew by so quick since i was so busy and it was great, except for the first 2 days though.. reading all the protocols and safety and SOPs and this and that and and and and .. very boring :( I am a little bit worried about going back to uni however, since i got to catch up and study and all but its not just that, its the option of going to class or not that worries me. At work you must go 9-5 everyday so no matter what you must get up, but with uni its not all compulsory so.. i usually wake up and turn off my alarm and go back to being a bum haha. Career wise, id love to work at GSK but honestly i really cant see myself in the lab for the rest of my life, i got an email from monash asking me to do a master of business of science and technology and it interested me. Was thinking of doing that but im not too sure yet, what would be awesome would be to work at GSK but be in the office :D i would love that! now how do you get that job? hahah well no idea uhhh i am a little bit of a lazy person i must say.. wish i won the lotto and just retire now LOLLL
Uhhh you can dream but owell.. work is work and play is play... i guese if it was all play and no work it would also be bad since you dont appreciate the time you have to do nothing.
I do miss blogging. Really shouldnt have stopped with my xanga blog.
Owell it was great writing this! It was most likely a long rant about nothing but it made me feel better and a great start to mondays!
