It is really a good feeling to have back something which you have lost.
Though i have seen my friends having difficulties getting themselves a job even with a first class/second upper honours, and it would often lead me to wonder if the second upper honours could do any difference to my job search, I am nevertheless very happy to attain my second upper officially.
Maybe i was pretty much prepared to get second lower ever since my grades in the second last semester pulled my CGPA down. Ask my close friends around me and they would tell you I was not pinning much hope. But i still worked hard anyway. Did my best i could with my FYP and all. And tadaa, the second upper i was trying so hard to maintain all these while is back, and this time round, for real. I no longer had to be scared of losing it because its god damn finalized and i am officially a Ntu graduate.
Finally 4 years of hard work have paid off. My family and loved ones have seen how much hard work i had put in. The freaking long 4.5 travelling hours every day was enough to tire me out. Sometimes lessons werent draining, it was the travelling that tired the shit out of me. And the never ending tests/exams/projects. Many times during that 4 years, i would stop and ask myself why am i studying so much for. I asked many of my friends around and basically that is a very normal sign. All these thoughts just get on you especially when the degree requires so much of your times, like 4 years. I remember myself getting very stressed with school during one of the sems ( because of the pressure of maintaining that second upper), i always broke down in tears when i was trying to study. I did not understand why i need to do that. But i have to thank that someone for giving me support. Though he did not try to do anything intentionally, his presence alone at my down times was enough. He was there with me through the 3.5 yrs of my uni journey - fetching me back home when i ended school late, fetching me to his house for a nap during my long breaks, and motivating me with good food and supper after my muggings. He was the closest closest person who had walked down the journey with me. So when i officially got my second upper, I couldnt control myself to tell him the good news.
So you can imagine how happy i have been upon receiving my results. It gives a lot of satisfaction to my efforts.
26th June is my dear convocation. My parents are already looking so forward to it. :)
毕业lo!
