C'est Finis

It's been 6 months.

6 months isn't a very long time, but it isn't short either.

I've finished my FYP - submitted my thesis, held a poster presentation, just gave an oral presentation to the examiners a few hours ago, and now I've finally fulfilled all my responsibilities and tasks for the 16 AUs.

It's a relief.

Jesus has been my wonderful guide - my source of strength and wisdom. I would never have made it through the many failed experiments, late nights in the lab and coming back early the next day only to get negative results.

Because of Him, I believe that I am deeply loved, highly favoured and greatly blessed. How else is it possible that I was not given the project of my choice only to be allocated another project that worked out so fine?

I have the best supervisor (to me lah...) who gives me the space and freedom to question and experiment in my research, is forgiving to my mistakes, guides me along the way, and is extremely approachable to seek advice or even to grouse about the little irritations in life.

And being someone who needs a friendly and warm working environment, He has blessed me with a great bunch of colleagues whom I've had so much fun to get to know and have learnt so much from.

It was intimidating just thinking of the requirements I had to fulfill for my FYP. Writing a thesis, presentating a poster, giving an oral presentation of my work - all these are totally new to me. Not forgetting that I would be presenting my 6 months work to full-fledged scientists who have a well of knowledge that is far greater than mine AND I would have to answer questions from these professors who've had donkey years more of experience than me. How do I go about overcoming these challenges? How am I going to get through this?

I prayed for God to give me these mountains - each and everyone of these challenges, and He has faithfully delivered me from them.

I may be incompetent and incapable, but my Jesus is a big God. His grace, wisdom and power is more than enough for me.

Now as I prepare for my final exams, I know that I won't have to worry because He's taking the exams with me =)

Counting down the days till I can say 'Sayonara' and finally graduate from uni!
