Hi I'm back :)
In the middle of euphoria for submitting my thesis yesterday. Thank God and thanks to my friends who have been helping me A LOT!!!
Okay, actually I think I passed the euphoria stage after 8-hour-class today, but let me recall all the good things that have happened about my thesis.
Rule number 1: yes, it's your thesis, but you can't deny that it's a salad of lots of people's help (from those who jiayou-ing you to those who help you reading your thesis!!)
Rule number 2: thesis is another self-discovery journey. In my whole 4 years in NUS, I have top-three 'activities' that I count as self-discovery journey:
1. NUANSA'10: This Earth of Mankind
2. 3 years in Legion of Mary
3. my thesis
You learn about your strength and weakness through thesis.
Rule number 3: Little things DO matter.
In the weekly session that I attend (we call it 'circle'), people always remind me of the values of the little things, offering up those ordinary things that look simple (such as taking care of your belonging, doing work in order). Little things DO matter. I wasted lots of time digging my files to find literature that's already there (just that I couldn't find it), I needed lots of help in formatting, and I spent hours and hours making the tables look neat and presentable.
How to describe this feeling?
I don't know whether my grade still matters or not. When my supervisor said that she's happy with my work, I feel really thankful. I think the most important thing is I've given my best to this project and I really appreciate my friends' help and support. There were moments when I felt sick of my thesis, when I felt that there was no progress, when I felt soooo bad and just wanted to give up and do 'anyhow'.
Thank God for the experience :):) It IS a beautiful experience :)
