Oct 5, man!~ it's 20 days to liberation! freedom from exams, assignments, presentations and projects for the rest of my life! what a day to remember! like how Johnny puts it, "it's a homerun gracie!" yes indeed! i can see the finishing line...less than a 100 metres away and i'm reaching soon! hang on, girl!

i've been struggling hard to write up a 2500 words essay for the past 3 days. it wasn't hard to reach the word limit. it was just hard to make the analysis sound simple, to the point and easy to understand. the question requires me to compare, contrast and assess. this is hard, considering that i've got 3 characters involved here. it took me sometime to figure out that the best way to do this question effectively was to use the A& B, B&C, A&C method of analysis. seriously challenging but i learnt a great deal about critical analysis though! glad that it's all over.......finally finished and sent to my tutor through email an hour ago. i can feel just a heart full of relief when everything was done! just great!

but i know that i've got a few more hurdles to cross before i hit 'home'. you know, have you watched baseball? love that game! hmm, a few more weeks to go...a few more assignments like this to hand in and exams too! it's scary to think that all these things are going to happen in the coming 3 weeks! i can't handle this! arggghhh....someone please help! on this note, i shall just wish myself 'good luck!' and hopefully i can say at the end of it all: "i have run a good race, i've fought a good fight!" seriously trying to keep myself determined to achieve all HDs. it's impossible if i set my mind to it. that's why i've been pushing myself so hard....seriously hard. i could have handed up my essay yesterday but i just couldn't let it go when i knew that i did not write my best essay. and so, i handed up not my 1st draft, nor my 2nd draft, but my 3rd. and i know with much confidence within, this is my best that i can ever give! i hope i can stay this way for the next few hurdles....just like the Energizer advertisement goes: "Never say die!" =p
