yeah...1st half done
"phheww......" the delayed reaction i had when i finished proposing my sp to the panel.... i was very much relieved, a bit shocked, fearful yet expectant of the future..... but in all these things, i give my thanks to God.
basically, i wasn't prepared to face the panel with my proposal which isn't well founded yet. I just got shot down by 2 of the panelists when i was asking them for advise the day before the day of reconing came. Issues about my objectives (statement of the problem) and design were targeted and was problems arose from them. i came to a conclusion that a day for research wont be enough for a decent showing to the panel..
i arrived home late in the evening that day. opened the pc, connected to the net and had a chat for an hour. then, while waiting to reconnect after a power failure, i went to a deep sleep. I woke up at 6am, started my research and modifications of my proposal document. I did not finish making my ppt presentation. i left my house at 4:30 pm missin my 11:30-1 cell group and 1-4 health informatics class, wherein i'm suppose to be setting up power point presentations at 4pm with my defense of my proposal at 5pm. I wasn't able to make proper changes for my old proposal, though i was able to add new stuff in it.
But some interesting things happened: i worked for at least 6 hours (possibly 8) with minimal break times,my printer did not 'eat' the paper feeds which would usually lead to bad print out and the jeepney i rode in was one which rarely passes by the road but would lead me to the best spot to immediatly ride a bus to skul.
even if my ppt wasnt finished yet, i immediately went to rob, rather than set up my presentation. I bought some food for the panelists and as i returned to school, it was raining hard and i went inside the classroom wet all over. the diskette which i stored my ppt didnt work, but good thing i had a copy in my email. as the defense started, the pace was moving very slowly, explicitly showing how much i stuttered and grappled with my ideas as i try to find the right words for my loose thoughts. but after some time, it became a chika moment. there were a few laughs.i for one was scolded for laughing at something which i admittedly had my fault. yet it ended on a high note in a flash. and i was already going to wendys to have myself a treat to an expensive meal.
now..i just wana say... Thank you Lord!!! in those times i just trusted in you, trusting even though im afraid of losing. but Lord, you have proven how much You can do to me and those around me.
Next..... final half
