One last presentation

It's another huge sigh of relief to breathe, as I cross yet another hurdle in my university life - defending the results of my FYP (or undergraduate thesis, as some might call it). It's not something all undergraduates have to do, but it's part of my TESL course, and passing it allows us to get an additional Honours title behind our B.Ed degree. It usually takes up 2 whole semesters, and last August (or was it September?) I finally got down to working on it. Well, to cut a really long story short, I finished it about two weeks ago, and today I had to present the findings to a panel of lecturers cum judges. I did alright, so yeah I'm happy. Anyway, here are some pictures that I managed to take of the scene in the presentation room.

I know everyone looks really happy in the pictures, but in reality the room was filled with so much tension and nervous anticipation, you couldn't even breathe! And here I've included some random shots of this week of lectures.

Yup. TESLians sure work and play hard. It seems as if I only entered university yesterday. Time sure flies fast. I think I should try to take pictures of these last few remaining weeks. We'll see how it goes. Cheers you all, and have a good weekend!

Now I can sleep...

I finally finished my FYP, or at least the first draft of it. Took me a few days of back-breaking hard work, but I've finally got my Chapters 4 and 5. Am so relieved that it's over. The only thing left is the revising, editing, re-revising and re-editing, then it's to the printers with it! There'll be a presentation of the findings on March the 19th, but for now I think I'll just forget everything and try to rest. It's time to enjoy!
