Updates!
Well, it’s been awhile since I wrote the continuation of my journey in this world.
People always say that life throws a screwed up ball once and awhile. That happen to me in 2008.
A lot of things has happen (sick, grandma and relatives passed away, aunt got robbed, frens getting married etc.) 2008 was just a year filled with lots of memories. Both good and bad. The good thing was, I got some time to spend with my grandma before she went back to God and I graduated with a Masters in hand.
I hope my grandma is proud of me. 2008 was a year that I grew up a lot. I realized that I have more responsibilities and more choices to make. Sometimes it’s hard but everything comes with it’s own story. All I have to do is to understand the story before deciding.
Then, lo behold, am back in Aus. Continuing my research in PhD. I was so excited but now am regretting starting this journey. I mean its not what I expected. Everything went wrong from the day I got the offer letter from the uni. My research focus has changed more times than the days that passed since I started. My nice-calm-supervisor is now a supervisor with a vengeance. My social life is shot to hell. The only life I have is with this laptop of mine. It’s my companion, my lover, my friend, my shoulder to cry. Family can only provide support up to an extent. I know I sound cold but it’s the truth that comes with PhD.
It’s not easy. No book, no workshop, no talks or even mentors could explain to you how the situation really is until you’re in the situation yourself. But I guess, the only thing is to push through. I do hope everything goes well.
