A Step Into A New World

At the age of 21, my world is definitely changing.

I'm a student. But the status soon will change.

The question is: Am I ready?

Ready or not. The world will not wait for us. The world will continue rotating around the Sun on its axis, even when we're sleeping. It is up to us to keep up with its pace.

Two weeks ago, I sat for my final exam for my final semester of my diploma. Yes, unless I screwed up, I will be one of those graduates, waving their diploma proudly, in the next convocation. But, let's not get over-excited about that, as it may jinx it. (I can be a wee bit superstitious at times)

For the next four months, I will be on a break from school. Due to the recent term schedule changes among higher education institutions in Malaysia, the next degree intake would be in Feb/March 2012. So, I am thinking of working part-time job or internship to fill my time.(And my bank account.)

I am both excited and nervous about that prospect. Excited, to finally be able to put into practice what I have learned in class. Nervous, because I don't know what to expect. People do give me advises, inputs that  are quite useful. But that feeling I feel, the butterflies fluttering in my stomach, won't go away. I guess, it is normal to feel such thing.

This is it. My moment.

I am going to step out of my comfort zone, explore the world, grabbing all the opportunities I could lay my hand on.

And no, I am not going to be alone. My friends and family would always be there for me whenever I fall, to give a hand, to push me up.

This is it. 

This. Is. It.
