Transition Elements
It has been almost a year since I have graduated and am still jobless, technically. Well, have been confirmed by EDB to go to San Francisco to work and undergo training for 1.5 years. And I was actually looking forward to it. However, the long wait for confirmation of visa and all the administration is taking its toll on me.

The most irritating thing is the departure date. Originally set to leave on the 26th March, the company request us to start work on 5th march. Due to the initial schedule, i decided to help out in this year's IVP as a pattern AI. The sudden news of me having to leave earlier than expected killed my morale and I felt bad that I would be leaving my team so soon.

Anyway, this issue bugged me for some time. Till one of my future colleagues polled and the 5 of us decided to write in to request for a delay in the start date. Our request was denied at first, but after much persistence, they allowed us to start 1 month later. =)

This is a really pleasant news, since I get to be part of this year's IVP.
