So during the last months, I have been dealing with paperwork for my
school-credit internship in an external company.  It's work involving... paper.
Having to run around asking for signatures from the parties involved is
certainly not a fun task, especially in this pandemic.  It distracts me from the
works I'm supposed to do---not that I don't have enough distractions.

Last Thursday I received a call because I got one part wrong in the agreement,
which frustrated me a lot.  This made me regret choosing to have my internship
in an external company---my uni also provides unpaid internship for students,
which requires less paperwork.  I made this decision mainly because of peer and
family pressure and financial concerns[^1]---I was not willing to work for
someone else for months without compensation[^2].  On the bright side, at least
now I know I should avoid complicated paperwork for the sake of my sanity (or at
least that's what I tell myself as consolation).

[^1]: On that note, it's not *that* much, not worth the struggle.  And I have
  not received a single cent, also.
[^2]: To be fair, all these school years *is* working without compensation. I
  should have considered it just a course...
