Last Few Hours
Now I'm at the last few hours in my PGP room.
Last night before I went to sleep, I took a glance across the room. I thought back to the day when I first entered the room and yes, it was 9 months ago. It was during Oweek, and I checked in during one of the free slots.
Since then, this room has accompanied me through an arduous year 4. In the first semester, wow the modules were tough, especially Basant's EC4102. I remember the times up to 4am whereby I just sat there at the small table in my room, banging in mathematical parameters in the weekly tutorials. And of course in International Economics II, where I scratched my head over the Feenstra stuff and practised Curnot and Betrand competitions many, many times.
And of course in the second semester, this room provided for me the peaceful sanctuary to focus for my thesis, as I scratched my head over how to phrase my wordings perfectly.
And yes, this room allowed me to temporary escape for the 'societal' pressure when facing the family, allowing to focus on my work (and my late dota games into the nights). Of course, now I know, as much as I love my family, these days of peaceful solitude and distance convenience will never be back (unless I strike it rich and buy a car/some wonderfully-located house).
I wanna thank 20/2F for the 9 months of shelter for the shelter you've provided for me, and allow me to achieve when I did achieve. Dean's list in year 4 sem 1, no mean feat as the stakes are way higher, and I couldn't do it without this sanctuary. Will I get the desired outcome for year 4 sem 2 too? I pray, I pray.
No matter what, a great Thank You, and maybe I'll be back for Masters, somewhere along my long career in the future =)
