Let me count how many years I've been studying in Uni. 1 and a half years in foundation + 3 and a half years in main campus. That would be 5 years, I have one more semester to go, so total up will be 5 and half years. Just to hold a degree. That is a long journey of acquiring knowledge. I wonder how long does it takes to hold a degree outside Malaysia? 3 years?
Since I'm in my final year now, I have to put in extra effort so that I can graduate by the time I should be, which is in Oct 2010. One of the requirements before i graduate is that conducting a research, which is called final year project or in short, FYP. The project that I will conduct entitle "Chemical degradation and optimization for glucosamine production from chitin". This last 2 semesters is going to be the hectic one. Believe me, my room mate had to work in the laboratory from morning till midnight just to extract some kind of plants. That's tiring and stressful. I can't imagine how my life will be when I started doing my project. Inshaallah, if all materials are present and there's no obstacle, I'll begin my experiment in early February. Right now I'm working on the proposal for the project, due date is in early March if I'm not mistaken (still doubt about it, that's the consequences of being absent during fyp's briefing). I impress with myself somehow. I am usually a last minute person (i think so). Not that I'm boasting about myself, it's just that I want to give my best for this project, I mean more than I usually did (fyi, i don't take things for granted)
But up to this point, I still hear these annoying whisper, "am i choosing the right way? is this what i really want in my life?" That whisper from the devil sometimes pull me back from achieving my dreams. I know this is the right track and that is why i'm on it.
