Hello everyone. Trust we’re doing great today. Today is one of those days any student would like to wear their favourite outfit to p

For the past few nights, I have not been able to sleep with my two eyes closed. If I was asked if I chose this kind of life, I’d look that person in the eye and scream no.

But what happens when we’re always in our comfort zone? No remarkable growth. No pain. No gain. So while I may enjoy the knowledge I have from what I have been doing lately, the sleep I have missed these past few nights is not in any way my choice.

Still grateful because I should be

Earlier, I had shared with us that I was coming to the end of my journey as an undergraduate. Today, I was meant to share with us the memories after my seminar defence, but for some reason, I couldn’t.

Due to the high number of students in my department, my number wasn’t called on to present today. That means I was automatically asked to come back the next day which is tomorrow.

Honestly, the level of examination I saw and experienced with my fellow students who presented kind of sent cold chills through my spine.

It is one thing to write your work; it’s another thing to understand what the work is about. Still, it’s another thing to make someone understand what problem your work seeks to solve the way you understand it.

As the questions kept flying in the air, the tension became even as loud to the ears, and some people ended up being more confused than enlightened.

Reluctantly making poses
I could some smart students in the room shivering at the call of their names. It was a moment filled with excitement, panic, and uncertainty.
By God’s grace, I’d be making my presentation tomorrow. If asked how I’m feeling right now, I’d say a bit restless as I can only settle down when the defence is over.

The beautiful thing in what seems like a chaos to me right now is that I have rest in God. It’s just an assurance that I am covered, and I only need to do what I can, give it my best and watch other things fall in place for me.

I got back weak and tired, but also with something new to help me through my work as I prepare.
I’ll be glad to come back to share the rest of the story with us after the defence tomorrow. For now, let me give it my time again.

Thanks for reading through.
