After a good night's rest, I'm ready to get up and be on my way again.
The road to the finishing line. 4th December.
Looking forward to the December holidays.
Joyous occasions.
Christmas. A cousin's wedding. Several friends' birthdays. Brother's return from India.
And the oh-so-carefree afternoons.
But it's also the time to make crucial decisions.
Oh well, I shall not dwell on things too much. Life's too short anyway.

Yes! my presentation just ended about an hour ago.
Everything went well with a minor exception.
The project that I presented was an e-commerce ticketing system.
The part that did not work was the currency conversion.
It worked every time before but for no apparent reason it failed during my presentation.
Hmmm. Murphy's law in action.
But I'm happy now that I have crossed another hurdle alone.
I would like to thank two friends for their early morning sms messages of encouragement! Thank you!

There's still a long way to tomorrow's presentation but I'm getting cold feet already.
It's an 8 am presentation.
I fear presentations always, however minor or insignificant they are.
I know things are not likely to turn out badly but, still, I'm not confident.
Maybe this upcoming holidays or some day, I will find some way to overcome this fear.
It's a terrible feeling. Presenting alone for 30 minutes on an early morning.
I can visualize myself presenting tomorrow.
Shaky hands and dry pale lips.
God save the poor man.
My 1st paper on Saturday. Let's hope things turn out well.
I need a break.

I figured out that I must have overworked.
As most of my assignments have been handed in, I'm more relaxed but at the same time feeling totally drained.
So far, I churned out a total of about 7 reports, developed 2 systems, and presented for 4-5 times.
And for many times this semester, when the nights grew late and when the rest of the world is quiet, yours truly hoped that someone would step forward and help. The only sounds were the barely audible breathing of my laptop processor and my own heartbeat.
Disappointments abound..
I'm resorting to writing to motivate myself. I can do it. I can do it.

One fine morning, I created this blog. I previously held one for 3 years and for some reason decided to quit blogging. After being passive for a few months and having experienced considerable changes in my life, I'm back!
At first, I thought of using my old blog which I now keep private but I decided not to because when I read my previous posts, I laughed. Though it's been a short span of time since I last wrote, I honestly seemed to have grown up far more than I did in the last two years.
For a start, I recognized character differences. I wished I had been wiser in the past when I was totally self-centered and tried to make others follow suit. Slowly, I began to understand others better while still keeping my goals in perspective.
I must say that school's been a real test for me for the past few months. I never thought it was possible to survive given the back-to-back deadlines. Ironically, I'm walking towards the end of the tunnel and I see light. Presentations. Systems. Reports. Almost everything is over except the exams. I wish for the holidays to come faster. I miss the days when I spent entire hours exploring places, food, technology and mingling with people.
Write again soon.
