some dreams live on in time forever
those dreams,you want with all your heart
and i will do whatever it takes
follow through with the promise i made
put it all on the line
what i hoped for at last would be mine
if i could reach,higher
just for one moment touch the sky
from that one moment in my life
i am gonna be stronger
know that i have tried my very best
i would put my spirit to the test
if i could reach
some days are meant to be remembered
those days we rise above the stars
so i will go the distance this time
seeing more the higher i climb
that the more i believe
all the more that this dream would be mine

Had a not-so-good paper today. Think the A grew wings and flew away. Bah. Wondering if the whole semester of work can rescue my grade. In one of my silly post-exam moods, thinking of how I could have done that part better or written that bit faster. Guess I did the best I could under the situation. Just gotta try to accept the fact that it is not possible to produce research paper standard during the exams. But aiyayaya, still…not a nice way to end the last exam after all. At least not the way I like it haha. Oh well,have quit thinking about it after a dose of TV therapy just now. That’s how fast I can try to get over things heh. No biggie. They are only grades,many more important things out there.
Had a post-exam celebration dinner with my classmates. It was amusing how everyone at the table either ordered Crystal Jade’s veggie dumpling noodles or their veggie dumpling soup. Totally caught the waitress by surprise. If we had any doubts as to why all of us are taking the course and can click so well, it is probably because birds of the same feather do flock together hahaha. Hot soupy to warm you up when it is raining cats and dogs outside. And good company that take away the earlier exam stress. The simple joys at times. I think I am starting to treasure these moments more because it is going to be harder to have such gatherings next time.
Also received news that the internal examiner has approved of my thesis with no amendments needed at all. Supposed to be real good news as it means I don’t have to touch it anymore. Ya,some others will probably envy me. But thing is,my fingers are itching to make some changes,add some updates to the paper on the topic and maybe even change title or stuff. To me there are still a lot of flaws I can find in the paper. This creator is still not too satisfied with her work. But school says no no,just leave it as it is since the paper has entered the records and all. Wah…in this case, I think I would have preferred it came back to me with minor amendments needed. =X
So yup,it was a rough day but I guess nice people and some "good" news smoothes it out a little.
