We just had our practicum orientation yesterday, and it’s as if it’s the department’s way of saying to us that we’ll be off La Salle soon, provided that we pass our thesis proposal of course, because that’s our ‘ticket’ to the practicum program.
Indeed things are getting serious already. We’ll be finding prospective companies/institutions/resources for practicum and we’re doing thesis with real organizations. We’re about to face the ‘real world’ out there. But are we ready? The working ones keep on saying that the real world is really different from a school setting, way different. And the possibilities are not quantifiable and predictable. Meaning, if we’re already having a hard time now in school, we should expect more difficulties outside. For ‘now’ is only sort of a preparation for ‘tomorrow’.
I’m happy ‘cause school’s almost over for us, but I’m also sad that it is. I know this is inevitable. I just hope that we’ll be able to prepare ourselves more and develop the right attitude and skills that will equip us and get us going in the real world. After all, when we’re already out there, we’ll only have ‘us’ to back ourselves up.
