Looking back..

Today was the last day of my first set of attachment (lasting 1 month in 2 different places). Knowing that today being the last day of the week + being on morning shift, I've done up a to-do-list 2 days ago.

However, today as I returned home, I felt so drained and I just went to bed after showering, in my jogging attire (as one of the to-do items was to jog) and slept till night -_-. I woke up, changed out and rested. Wanting to do my assignment I was too lazy and tired to do so. As I was sitting watching TV and feeling apathetic, I just looked back at the last 5 months of school.

Well, school started with a blast and lots of fun. For most of us, it was something that we looked forward to because we don't have to work!! But the reality turned out to be the complete opposite.. In the middle everyone started to experience the stress especially with the first assignment submission and the big project. For most of us, writing an assignment is something new. Doing a school-wide project is also even newer. Some dropped out due to personal reasons. The others clung on tight to the floating sampan that may sink anytime.

5 months later, we're still hanging on tight, albeit this time, upon building friendships, we have each other's support. Well in a group, we can't prevent murmurs, gossippings and the like. But somehow we still hang on to each other tightly with our brains exploding with lots theories, knowledge, assignments, etc etc. You sink, I sink!

As I think of it this way, I suddenly realised that it isn't THAT bad at all! I mean, I've met quite a bit of my objectives, learning so much from all the external lecturers who imparted their expert knowledge. The best part, this course had not only has improved our knowledge, but at the same time, streeetchhhed our capacity to the max thus far. I believe everyone felt stressed out, burnt out, indifferent and apathetic at times, exhausted (and VERY exhausted indeed) but still, we cling on tight to the final destination of achieving that certification. I believe, most importantly, everyone has grown.

Looking at it this way, it does feel alot better. And look, we've gone through 5 months of hardship! It's another 3 more months and it'll be gone like a breeze. Before we know it, it's time for sad goodbyes and forget-me-nots.

People, lets hang on tight and finish the race!! :)
