Another Semester down... hello, holidays...

2 semesters done and I can say, I nailed it! 8 courses taken, got 2 left and 1 big final dissertation to get over with. Wow... Time really flies that fast, huh? I'm still 33 going 34 soon and nothing big is happening to my life yet. One step at a time they say. 

So 8 courses. 6As, 1A-, and 1B+. I can say it's not too bad for a beginner, right? All theories, not so much practical, of course I could do it. I am a lecturer after all. I make exam papers and grade them for a living. The only thing is, I hate research! I mean, I still do. I think research is pointless. You're not inventing anything that would change the world anyways. So let me take a screenshot of my exam results. 

My exam results being an open book...

I won't say it's the BEST result ever, I mean see that annoying B+ down at the bottom? Yep. It kinda spoils the whole document really. But I am always grateful. Grateful for getting more than I deserve. I didn't focus that much in classes, I skipped a few and I had no idea what was happening in some classes at all. I felt like this semester was a bunch of gambling and I guess I got lucky. A- in a subject I feel so lost about? Wow... Thanks, Lady Luck!

So there it is. I don't feel any need to hide my results. This is after all a blog about my Masters journey and how I'm walking through it. So yeah, with all that I'm doing and going to do, these are my achievements so far. Still a loooong way to go, especially with final project. I got this. I think. 

I have to admit though, I couldn't have done this without awesome friends and awesome lecturers. Everyone was very helpful to the end. I didn't do this on my own. I had lots of help and people were more confident about me than myself. Even I didn't think I would get what I got.

This is Us.

See you, next semester, UPM!
