And yes, a time to have a blog post.
These past few weeks, I was forced to do something beyond my abilities as a human being. One deadline after the other, sleepless nights, hundreds of hours in front of my laptop, liters of coffee, eyebags, losing appetite, losing weight. That is how my undergrad thesis went into my senior life.
Those times
...when you want to cry but you can't, because your time is so limited that you cannot even give a moment for shedding those tears.
...when you become unaware of what is happening around you because you are too focused on doing the manuscript.
...when you become tired physically because you have to spend days and nights with your laptop.
...when you become tired mentally that you have to suffer from severe headaches the moment you wake up because of too much thinking about it.
...when you become tired even spiritually because it feels like it's hard to hear anything from God.
...when you have no choice but to let go of the responsibilities that you would love to do.
Manuscript writing happened like a whirlwind, and I guess it will be better not to describe the details on how did it go. The memories are all mine to be remembered. Hahaha. We had our defense a day before V-Day, and thank God, it all went well.
Putting all the tiresome activities and slight bitterness aside, I want to thank the following who really helped me to push this.
I thank God for all the favor and grace that he provided on us as we push this undergrad thesis. I feel so highly favored that I sometimes I feel like You had spoiled me. Thanks for all the blessings. Truly, Your grace is sufficient to sustain me to face each day. I'm doing my best for You.
To my thesis adviser, if only you know how grateful I am. Thank you for being so supportive to us, although we sometimes had our shortcomings in meeting your deadlines and expectations. You did not give up on us. Thank you for encouraging me to give my best shot, despite the problems happening around.
Ate Erika, my dear thesis partner, I want to thank you for spending time with me, for working with me. Gagraduate na tayo. \m/
To my Mommy, forgive me during those times I cannot talk to you with a sound mind through phone. Thank you for all your prayers and support.
We're almost there, finalizing the manuscript (and soon for binding) and making the poster (yay!!). It is really worth the time, the wait, and effort; and indeed, thesis writing added color to my life as a Bio student.
