If there is one thing that would lob my
emotional stability into a stack of emotional turmoil then that would be my
FINAL DEFENSE SCHEDULE! Especially in a state wherein I already made an
assumption that my final defense with my thesis mates will be scheduled around
the 2nd week of February. Well guess, my hypothesis was completely null after a friend sent an SMS
saying that our final defense is scheduled this SATURDAY, JANUARY 26, 2008! In a matter of 3 days time, how am I going to
review the 89 paged research paper excluding the 79-paged appendices. We still need to buy a dress for the
occasion, prepare our PowerPoint presentation and there is still the mock
defense with our advisor. If
thesis/research paper was not that important I wouldn’t be this anxious. But since this is so damn vital at my
institution, a make or break whether you are going to graduate or not without
the hassle of undergoing a re-defense status then prepare for days of mental
and emotional torture.
P.S.
I’m
having difficulties sleeping lately and it’s either I’m freaking scared of the
upcoming defense or way too excited for it.
