Macau Hangover Part I; Overdue, Personal, Places
Just recently, my mom and I went to Macau. It was a trip we planned a year go. My mom was awesome (and still is) so she was granted with a free trip to Macau by her company. :D
Actually, I was even hesitant to go with her even on the day before our departure to Macau. School + Org work were just too much that I wanted to stay and just finish my responsibilities here first. Of course, I just couldn’t back out just like that so I left with a very heavy feeling of worry / anxiousness / blah. I thought I wouldn’t enjoy Macau but I was wrong. Mom told me to just forget everything first and just relax. Macau was everything I needed- a breather.
Still, there were times that I’d just space out.. OUT OF WORRY again during our tours. How could I not worry if I had:
- an Ad campaign for ADWRITE (a major course) to lead and work on with my groupmates
- a required overnight fieldtrip to attend for ADRAPHO (also as important as ADWRITE) 2 days after Macau
- design materials to arrange for my org’s year end party
For the ad campaign, my groupmates and I had to present our campaign for Army Navy (Burger + Burrito) on March 23rd. My Macau vacation was from March 14-17. The Corregidor / ADRAPHO fieldtrip was from March 20-21. Imagine how I would incessantly worry about the conflicting schedules during my Macau stay. Fortunately, I was still able to attend the ADRAPHO fieldtrip to Corregidor (for our HDR session) though my body and brain were already betraying me. Preparing for an advertising campaign with randomly selected groupmates requires lots of meetings, brainstorming and sleepovers. With so much little time left, it was a miracle that we were still able to do it. My group got a 96 (minus 9 because of presentation mistakes) in our campaign and as the leader, it was something to be really proud of. My disorientedness ever since I got back from Macau was something not to be proud of though.
K, enough of stress stuff.
