Wrapping up Sem 1

Submitting the final project for Qualitative Research for Educational Studies mark the 'official' end of my first semester. Pheww!

The process of conducting the project was bittersweet to me. I got to meet my friends from TESL days. If you are reading this, Hi Awer! Hi Nad! 😄😄 I couldn't really thank you enough for helping me out. What more, ada bekal bawak balik ofis lagi...am so terharu..😭

The bitter part is that some of the recording is deleted! Due to low memory in my laptop. I was horrified when noticing this. Cause, before this, I was always cautious when doing any recording. Usually recording in two devices. But this time, maybe because I'm in a hurry, or maybe because I'm doing it alone, I forgot to do a back up recording. I felt helpless and down for a while. But i decided not to feel that way too long and continued to find other solution to the problem. And in the end, I did find it. Am glad that I didn't let myself feel depress over it too long.

Kakak teman mama submit assignment on a Sunday 😄😄

Took the opportunity to take some pic in the building

Me want pic too..hehe. Thanks kakak for taking a nice pic of mama

I felt like I have grown leaps and bounds this past months; personally, and professionally. I learn to manage my emotions, thought process, and my overall view of things. I've also learn to not be afraid. And too add, I also learn, unlearn, and re-learn things that i thought I knew before. The help, experiences, and support were tremendous. I am forever grateful for it. I really look forward to this feeling and momentum in the future semester. I am writing it here to remind myself why I started, and what I felt now. So that the feelings will never get old.

Some more pics here of the past months.

So, this is the new normal I think. Lugging around super heavy backpack.

For a working student like me, having some time to go the library to sit down and focus on studying is just pure bliss. At the library's carel room.

Post-grad class usually involves some food in between. I love it.

With Dr Murshid of Qualitative research class. His class has been fun and insightful. I think he has single-handedly convinced me to do a Qualitative research design for my PhD. But, too early to tell...we'll see. Hehe. 

That's a wrap I think. Will try to post more in the future to document my journey. InshaAllah. Ending the first semester with a high note and excitedly look forward to the next.
