.::. Reports .::.

Just finished another group report and I'm feeling accomplished. I'm just left with the tidying up of another group report and one more home exam! *yay.

Being a 'Banking and Finance' student who eventually took up accounting, group work and such reports are not my forte. I never had to do much of these and coming here has exposed me to a whole new area, especially since it's an accounting course with a management focus. Initially, I was rather clueless and we simply didn't have the right focus nor direction. Thankfully, experience comes with practice and it seems alot easier these days.

I'm thankful that I always liked writing and expressing myself, substantiating my arguments have never been difficult. I reckon those debate trainings have been beneficial. There was a time when I lost confidence in writing reports and speaking up, fearing that I was not good enough. I guess I was just demoralized and it takes some courage to stand up tall knowing that people do not think much of you.

What does not kill you makes you stronger.

I'm acutely aware that things like the way you speak, the way you write, the language you use and tone you communicate and present yourself makes a whole lot of difference. Sometimes it's about bullshitting your way through and it's bullshit, yet another body of knowledge which you could only learn through experience.

All the word games, all the mind games, I wonder if I'm strong enough for that. Time to brace myself and be armoured for the realities of the working world.
