Can't believe I'm writing my first blog!

Well, here I am. A complete non-writer with no trace of creativity in my blood, writing a blog! I mean, how dare I? How dare I torture those who'll be going though my posts in a few minutes time? That is if anyone goes through my posts at all :P.
All this mayhem started when my part II exams ended. That day I went to hang out with my school buddies, Aritri and Ipshita. While we were discussing about the uncertainty of our future, Ipshita announced that she'd been hired by PWC to intern for a month and it suddenly hit me, it's time to wake up. The following few days went in a blur with me slogging to build a proper resumé, getting recommendations and going about asking people about internships. But it seemed that CU students weren't actually keen on any sort of first-hand experience in the job market, especially in the final year of their college. They chose to focus more on the various entrance exams on a national level, that they'd appear in, the following year. One of my seniors actually advised me to forget about internships and concentrate on studies. And my burning desire to get hired by some company started mellowing down. The pressure started building up when the 3rd year tuitions began and I started realising that the internships are not for me. But I needed to earn my own discretionary spending money. And how? Providing tuitions to children? Too exhausting, though easiest and safest! In America, you can wait, cook and clean, deliver newspaper and stuffs and yet not be looked down upon. In India if you even dream of doing the same, you stand the chance of being disowned by your family! So what are the options left? Pretty much nothing, because anything apart from providing tuitions will demand more time and time is something that I can't compromise on under any circumstances, right now. Well, I'm still jotting down possible stuffs that might help me earn a few bucks and enrich my resumé simultaneously. Wish me luck with that.
And while I'm starting to figure out the various hard ways of life as one grows up, I'll write this blog, asking for your advice, sharing my joys, sorrows, fears etc. with you, my fellow readers (hello, is anybody out there? :D) and of course tormenting you with my silly thoughts. I'm not a gifted writer, so don't expect heavy words or poetry from me. I'm just an ordinary girl going extraordinary with all my newly learned life skills *winks*
