Prized possession
May 28, 2010
Guess what I picked up earlier this week???
My thesis is finally binded after one year of submitting it to the university. It cost me a hefty RM80 per copy and I had to do six copies because FOUR were for the university (I initially thought 3) and I had to bear all the cost!
Hmmmph.
When I got there, the staff told me “Oh what a coincidence. They just arrived YESTERDAY.”
Of which I was very sceptical but that’s beside the point.
My point is this;
She handed me a copy to look at and left for a couple minutes. As I held and laid my eyes on it for the very first time, I said “wow” outloud.
Wow not because I think I’m so great but wow because of how similar it looked like to a book.
Wow because I felt it was worth the money I spent. *chuckle*
Look, it has my name on the side too!
Wow because exactly one year ago I was told that I might not make it to graduation in time.
Wow because exactly two years ago I cried tears of disappointment for not being able to graduate.
Wow because this thesis is the epitome of my blood, sweat and tears. Blood from papercuts, sweat from lugging all those books to and from the libray and tears from…well I already explained that many times in this blog.
Wow because I can finally close this chapter of my life.
