198

I would like to congratulate the current crop of 198ers (read: thesis people) for finally enduring the burdens brought about by your respective theses.  Final presentations are now over, and of course they themselves would know if they had earned their panelists' nods. 

Most, if not all, are candidates for graduation this sem.  Oh how I envy them.  After 198, what's next in their list of worries?  I'm pretty sure that after surpassing this, they are much more confident of surpassing any other academic problem that could hinder them to graduate this sem.

I had accepted the fact that I would be delayed for a sem due to thesis, hoping that I would really pass all my units (especially CoE 113!!!) for this sem.  My case could still be quite understandable since it is nice to solely dedicate a semester for thesis.  The sad thing is that our graduating batchmates would be moving ahead and of course leaving us behind.  So much with the companions we were used to... reality bites.

I can feel the excitement rush into their veins.  Within the sem, they had already been planning for a much more rewarding vacation.  Some even, already have secured a job  right after they graduate.  The graduating students really had a hyped semester with all the  yearbook registrations, gradpics, job fairs, interviews, etc.  I just hope my last semester could be as hyped up or hopefully even better.
