May 15, phewwww~ i finally gota say 'Goodbye' to my first struggle! did i tell you guys that for the first time in my whole entire life i have ever spent 12 hrs consistently everyday at the library just to finish that project? and yar, it's the first time too...that i left the library at 12am midnight everyday for 1 solid week!!! sucha great accomplishment! really, when willie and i printed out the 19 pages of our 5000-word report with 36 references, we're just so amazed at how we could produce sucha piece of work...good work, i'd say!
well, willie and i concluded that it doesn't matter what our grades are, because we really got much more out of it than any other subjects we had done before. i'm really thankful that we could work together and it's been sucha blessing knowing her as well! we are good partners indeed! i'm never good at thinking of ideas, especially when it's close to 12 midnight in the library....i'm only good in expressing those ideas in words. she could do just the opposite! hehe...*grin* and eventually, she did the thinking and i did the typing! cool eh?
guess this project has not only given me an opportunity to learn, but also to get to know a great friend! i treasure the time we spent together most at dinner time when we could just share with each other how God has been good to us in our lives. she got me thinking about God's love once again in a different way...and it's just encouraging to know that there's always someone who's praying for you, isn't it? as i remembered how i was so anxious of finding the right partner and asking God for providence, i know that God has been good to me! that's why i'd say, it doesn't matter what we get for our project, because i have gained much more from it....!
to learn in-depth into what i'm doing in my course, to know a girlfriend who loves God alot and be able to gain an experience of working with a good partner are all things which are much more valuable than the grades itself....hmmm~
intrinsic motivation!! arrhhhhh.....*there i go again!* by the way, that's the main theme of my project!! great learning experience!!!
one project done....4more to go!!! arghhhhh, when will this agony end???? *soon, girl...soooooon!!* i wanna GOOD break this june! a SERIOUSLY good one! i'm looking forward to 11th of June!
