It feels really weird though being back in school after 10 weeks of internship. It feels different to just sit and listen and take notes instead of being on the go, doing something all the time. And learning comp finance stuff all over again after being exposed to corporate finance for the past few weeks takes a bit of time to get used to. That being said, my last year in school is going to be very fast and I hope it will be a good last year.
That aside, I have grown accustomed to little things that I had picked up during my internship. Whenever I say the phrase "I see I see" (which I realise I used quite frequently), it feels weird not to hear someone else adding "I" just after I finish the phrase (referring to the Indian bank, ICICI Bank). Whenever I say "cheesy", no one will now pick on "cheesy smile" and what my supervisor had said to me when the group of us went out drinking one night. The word "BBQ" will never have the same meaning again and if I happen to catch Martina Hingis on tv, I will always be reminded of "Swiss Miss" (which also happens to be her nick). Ah well. To top it off, I have also grown so used to hearing the names of the projects that I was working on. And I still check SGX website everyday for announcements on one of the projects I was involved in. The project will officially close on Thursday and I am really looking forward to finding out the outcome.
Anyway, I manage to get my decision deadline extended to Nov 1, following the school's policy! It's better that way I guess than the 2 weeks I had initially to decide. But I hope I'm not giving the impression that I don't want to take it at all. I actually am leaning towards taking it, but I still intend to apply for other positions, and it would be really bad if I say yes and not take it up in the end.
