thesis is over!


wow, what a relief. i am finally done with my thesis, half a semester before i graduate! it's almost impossible to describe the elation i felt when my professors said "ok thanks guys let's move on to the next presentation." wow. really want to thank sae ra and robert from the bottom of my heart for being the best team ever! they're living proof that you can do a group project without ripping each other's hearts out, and without compromising on quality. although we faced many hurdles along the way, i must say that these guys are real troopers! and thanks to chris, ezra and brandon for being wonderful professors, believing in us being so enthusiastic about our project! makes me wanna do thesis all over again! (kidding)

i'm also so grateful that God answers prayers. right before our presentation, we received horrible news that one of the critics was having serious issues with the idea of collaborative work, which was an integral component of our thesis. my professors freaked out naturally, and pressured us to present separately so as to minimize the consequences. but God gave me the confidence to stand fast and assure sae ra that there's nothing to be afraid of -- that since we have knowingly entered into a collaboration, we should champion it instead of being halfhearted and hesitant about it. and thank God, none of the critics made it an issue during our presentation, and according to Ezra, only that ONE critic remained unsure about this collaboration thing -- everyone else was apparently really supportive of us!

HAPPY. ABSOLUTE HAPPYNESS.
