Technically, summer has been over for a while now, since the rainy season began some time in the middle of May. My student's heart, however, refuses to acknowledge the death of summer until the start of classes. In fact, though nominally it's already the rainy season, it's been unbearably hot these past few days. Still, emulating old console RPGs and monster-raising games is beginning to lose its appeal. It must be sinking in slowly: I will be working as a software test engineer for Azeus Systems Philippines, Inc., beginning this June 16.
Okay, so it's mostly unrelated to my university training, although an argument could be made that studying physics teaches useful problem-solving techniques and approaches that are applicable to many other pursuits. It could be made, but I won't be making it here. Suffice it to say that I've learned a lot from my years at the National Institute of Physics, and hopefully not all of that will go to waste.
Essentially, I will be attempting, through this job, to start a career in the (local, for now) IT industry, since it seems to be a) thriving, at least relatively, and b) sufficiently interesting to me, personally. And the pay's decent, for an entry-level position, from what limited information I've been able to gather.
The plan is to continue researching and exploring other options while holding down this regular job. Of course, I'm not going to treat it just like a temporary job, exactly, but neither will I let myself be tied down by it too much. Maybe I'm being a little ambitious, but what the hey.
For now, I think my best move would be to clean up. My room, my computer, plans, priorities, projects, and so on. I've been bumming around and drifting aimlessly for long enough.
