Yes, it's over.
I can now say goodbye to my Masters studies in UM with utmost relief and pride.
I am lying, however, if I say that there're no uncertainties at all in my life now.
Yeah, I have completed my Masters studies, in the sense that I don't need to go to classes anymore and sit for any freakin' exams.
But I am VERY VERY worried about my grade for my last paper this semester and the status of my research project that I'd submitted last month.
My last paper turned out to be very challenging. It looked simple in the beginning, and that's why I registered for it. As weeks went by, there were so many concepts that I needed to remember and understand, all of which were foreign to me, unfortunately.
This was especially difficult for me since Linguistics isn't my cuppa, nor is it my forte. I can justify, ramble, and bluff all sorts of crap for my education-based and psychology-based papers but for Descriptive Linguistics: nahhhh!!!
Thank God I survived the assignments. My worry now is the exam paper I sat for last Thursday. I was so surprised to see that there were so mannnnnyyy things that we were required to write in order to answer each question. I was running out of time and I didn't get to check my answers. *sigh*.. Dunno la how it'll turn out to be. I hope the grade won't negatively affect my overall CGPA.
I don't want to have any regrets anymore this time around.
My research project is another thing that is bugging me. Yeah, I'd submitted it.
but I myself question the quality of my work which was completed only within 3 months, motivated merely by my plan to get married this December. I was also told that my second examiner is a very strict lecturer. Urgh... I hope my grade for my RP also won't negatively affect my CGPA.
All of this madness, coupled with the two part-time jobs had turned me into a very very tired superwoman. Amazingly, I managed to fulfill all that was required from me despite the vicious time constraints.
This explains why this blog was abandoned for almost 2 months!
At first, I regretted taking up the part-time teaching positions. But now, upon reflection, I have no regrets. I had fun teaching and learning from my students.
The new teaching experiences in overwhelmingly diverse environments have definitely enriched my overall perspective about teaching and life in general. Will blog specifically about my experiences teaching in the two IPTS soon. hehe.
Another uncertainty is surely "What should I do next year??"
I hope I will get the most suitable teaching position next year in an IPTA. I don't want to keep changing workplaces from time to time. I hope I will get to work right away at an institution that suits my vision and personality.
The other chapter?? some of u may wonder.
Of course it's my wedding.
You can track down my bridezilla journey on my wedding blog, if you want.hehehe.
MARRIAGE...
To be frank, this is the most exciting and worrying chapter of my life now.
I'm waiting for it to begin.
and unlike most novels and fairy tales, I hope mine won't have an ending.
May my story continue to put a gigantic smile on my face and the ones I love.
