However, to indulge myself in some sort of documentary, I would just like to let myself (and my readers) know that work is fine. It will take a lot of adjustments and getting used to, a lot of stepping up and memory exercises, but I know things will turn out okay.
There are some days that I feel like a college student with a deadline looming ahead for a major paper, robbing me of sleep due to an ongoing internal struggle between wanting to stay in bed and researching for it (if you were able to follow what I meant to describe, yes). On other days I feel like a college student who just finished all her finals -- this translates to me being able to get all the things on my "to-do" folder done and off my desk.
Working in the energy industry, I have to admit, is another kind of nosebleed. It's somewhat akin to my first complicated lecture of organic chemistry slash physics slash all my philosophy classes rolled together in one. Faced with so many facts and jargon, it's hard to keep up. My brain sometimes calls out an unwilling scream to digest everything in. There's the forever present temptation to just shut everything out. And yet I persevere. I will have to persevere. I like the perks of this job, that as long as it doesn't rob me of my life I shall remain in its service. I just have to constantly remind myself to become a sponge -- a sponge that absorbs everything whether I understand or not what it is at the moment. This is good training. Yes, this is good training.
I can do this. Besides, I like my co-workers.
On another note, I participated in the SK Elections today. Hence the title. Note to self, I should get to know more about the government. I don't even know what a kagawad is supposed to do.
With assurances of our high esteem and warm regards.
Very truly yours,
ANEKA CRISOSTOMO
Senior Administrative Assistant
to the Chief of Staff
