Bad feelings

I have been experiencing very stressful weeks after UC started the new term. Studying four courses in this summer term is absolutely exhausting, especially when I choose courses that out of my major. Along with the final exam at RULE, I have almost run out of power. Recently, I also feel the pressure of the coming graduation from both universities. Many classmates are working right now, and some have found the opportunities to participate in internship programs. For me, I’m not thinking of applying any vacancy—still a professional, full-time student!
I was given a special chance for internship in a UNDP project recently. I was called to have a test on 19th July. Until I was given the test paper, I had always believed that the internship test and interview would not be a problem for at all, and I would be selected. With too much of confidence, what I was worrying about was how I would reject the internship if it would not be in my convenience. It was a written test and is to be done on computer. I had to answer six questions—three theoretical questions and the others are practical problems. Answering the accounting-related questions in theory was not difficult for me, but I was stuck with the practical ones giving situations to be solved. I had no idea for them. I came to realize that my knowledge is very limited. With the lessons at universities, I can only reproduce from my memory of the theories, but when comes to apply it, I fail. I could not even pass the first round!
