Done and Dusted

Friday, June 22nd, 2007

    Its been like sometime eh…kinda hectic this last couple of months but it is almost over now. If your wondering what is it, I am just about done with my studies. At the final hurdle you might say. No wonder lots of my friends say that you better start early on your final year project but guess my ears were full of wax during that time. Anyway I am about to submit the research soon after getting the draft finalize. Remembering back of all the work taken to do it, cut and bruises from sampling and lab work, long travels and also other problems of either personal or business, I really enjoy doing this research. Hopefully the results will be as rewarding as the all the trouble I went to making it.
    During this final project, I was also needed to make a presentation in front of lecturers to evaluate my work. Though having a lot of comments that made me more aware of what other things I need to put in the actual report, it was during the Q&A session that made me still in awe up till this day. Compared to the other guys that did their research in the normal semesters that only involved 2-3 lecturers during their 30% evaluation, I have to present mine in front of almost a full team of soccer players. During the Q&A session, I was like from the White House having ended my speech and was attack by reporters to answer their questions or giving comments. But this time the journalists are my dear Profs and Drs that I need to answer to and boy did they bite back. What an experience to be ask by so many people in just minutes was a first time for me especially from those that have been teaching me all this time. I wont forget that moment for a few years to come.
    Since I am going to end my studies soon, I also have started to apply for work. Its kinda hard to get positions when your a fresh grad and even harder if your from the environmental field since our country is not yet there concerning this matter. So the jobs are few though having went to some interviews does give me a boost not to stop looking cause I can feel that I may get a chance sooner or later. I hope.
    Anyway, I think this is my last para for this period of writing. To you who have been reading this by the way thanks and if there are any comments do drop a line. For friends, sorry if I haven’t contacted you guys for a while, kinda busy these days. So take care everyone and enjoy life as you want it to be. Cheers ;)
