warzone (again!)

I love writing thesis - yeay!!

These few days, I've been accompanied by Thai songs when I wrote my draft
I'm a 'hardcopy- person'. It's not that I do not love the earth, but my eyes easily get tired when I read things on computer. Hence, I always print all the journal articles needed for my thesis.

Today was the deadline of my first draft of thesis. Surprisingly, the word count was 14,000 words ++ (exceeded the limit), but I think it's because Ms Word counted the words in the tables too. I foresee that I'll need to revise lots of things from this first draft (just like when I submitted my first introduction draft), but I thank God that He helped me to survive this week!!

I had my Thai grammar test this afternoon and I was kinda unprepared, but because the teacher discussed the mock test before the real test, I could recall the words that were taught by her!! :):) Ahhh..really thank God for today and this week :)

The coming of recess week means that there are only 7 weeks left of lecture + 1 week of reading week + 8 days of exams (I only have 3 exams and the last one will end on the 8th day of exam week). After that, that's it! Good bye, NUS.

I still hope to do postgraduate study, but I told people, "Only if I 'miraculously' finished my proposal". The thesis is very time-consuming (I love it though :) ) and I hardly even have time to study my modules. There's this weird feeling in my heart, looking forward for recess week even though I know it'll be studying week for me. I miss reading textbook though :P hahaha. Studying other modules have really become a break from thesis.

The reason I put 'so much' effort for my thesis is now I'm considering to apply postgrad research in NUS and I hope I can work with my supervisor again. (Actually I feel that I'm still not hardworking enough). I don't know how feasible it is to do part time research and work at the same time, but I want to earn money too to go to Brazil in 2013 for World Youth Day. HAHAHAHA :)
