On the last day of school...~*



THE THESIS

And so, XL and I submitted the hardbound copy of the thesis this morning.

Nearly 9 months of tears, sweat and blood... 

Looking back, it was indeed a crazy journey.
I guess my emotions have never undergone such intense fluctuations before. 
Nevertheless, I'm so, so, so thankful for each and everyone of you who helped me in one way or another :)

Without the emotion and social support, I'd probably have died months ago. 

Regardless of the outcome of the thesis grade, 
I think I'm just very, very, very amazed that I have actually come this far... 




Well, of course, grade wise..... :(

Anyway, there are so many people I want to thank.
But no amount of words can fully express my gratitude towards everyone of them.
It's during the tough times when you truly notice who's by your side all these while...

I definitely want to thank Prof S - for accepting me as his HT student, for his guidance, autonomy and support...
No doubt he was harsh and strict, but truth to be told, it's because I deserved it (the lousy draft).

And for the rest of you whom I want to thank,
simply put, 
you all know who you are :)

An unexpected wave of nostalgia.

The last 2 days spent in school were indeed well-spent.
From doing crazy shit with S/T, to having a long, meaningful chat with SL and S (our so-called 'study session'), to an awesome dinner with the psych peeps :)

It made me realize that the bittersweet sense of longing arises not so much from the identity as a 'student' or being in 'school'. 
But rather, it's the people.

"It's the emotional context that the people form" as SL said. 

Indeed, I'm really going to miss them.

T/S! Though I know I'll still see you after graduation hahaha :)

PSYCH GIRLSSSSS

So many fond memories.
Although the last semester was spent mostly in solitude, occasional meet-ups with them never failed to lift my spirits and empower me to carry on. 

People with whom we can talk about anything and everything - ranging from the mandatory gossips about random eye-candies (males and females) and profs (HAHAHA) to relationships to aspirations and dreams...
Most importantly, people who share the passion for Psychology. :)

Admittedly, I wasn't too sociable in uni. (Or rather, I'm not a social butterfly to begin with) 
Hence, having met this group of awesome girls and guy really made me feel fortunate x 1000. 
Without them, I guess I'd be dragging my feet to school every single day and spiral into depression soon after.
I guess, in a way, I was saved by them. My sanity, especially. 

Which is why, I hope this friendship will carry on long after graduation



The next time we meet will be after our exams when IT REALLY MARKS THE END OF SCHOOL LIFE.
and of course, during Commencement! :)

On a random note,

Beer is still not my cup of tea heh.
