My sponsoring body, JPA came to Swinburne today for a briefing for JPA scholars here. I noticed that there is about 93 students who are holding this scholarship studying in Swinburne.
Well, the first part of the briefing was quite useful as we now know how it is going to be after we graduate. In short, waiting for them to arrange jobs for us within one year. After that, we will be released form the contract if they cannot find one. Let's just hope it. Haha.
Also, if you manage to score an extremely absolutely very excellent results throughout your whole studies here (achieving 3.75 and above), you may obtain the chance for continuous education in doing Master or PhD locally or even go oversea. Wow, how "kind" of them! Oh, did I mention there are less than 100 places available for these further studying scholarship? And there are about forty-seven thousand of JPA scholars currently. Just compare the ratio. By the way, another 12 places of Yang di-Pertuan Agong scholarship will be available yearly for those who maintain the pointer of 4.0. Life isn't easy.
Second part of the briefing is about time and money management. Hmmm, we are 20 years old and I think most of us should have known how to manage our money and time (maybe not all) properly. But they spent 2 hours just to tell us do not buy expensive items like iPhone, do not go fast food restaurant frequently and do not watch movies at cinema. I was speechless, so were most of us.
I am in second semester of first year in this university. Maintaining a good pointer now may seem to be not-too-difficult task. But how about the coming semesters? Can I get through it? I don't know. Just pray, and of course study hard!
It's 6pm soon. Gonna start cooking for dinner.
*Turning off the laptop. Still hoping I am on the right track.*
