I thank Allah that 5 months have passed since I started my masters, and I survived! 😀
I’m doing a research based program, so I’m not bound to any specific academic calendar (like the coursework students do). Basically I have to work for the whole year without any scheduled holiday. *cry* PS: I can take leave though, if the supervisor approves. I somehow also have to take four subjects (which are offered on the coursework programs) and have deadlines too. Deadlines for submitting my research progress.
My first result was good, alhamdulillah. And I have finally produced a paper. Though it’s not published in any journal yet (tomorrow I’m going to submit it to a conference), but still yeayy!!!
I have been enjoying life so far. It’s better now that I rent an apartment unit with my fellow IIUMians. We’ve known each other since the undergrad period, so it’s of course much comfortable as well as easier to communicate. And less conflicts.
On top of that, being single – literally feels really good. I couldn’t be more grateful for that. Not that I avoid marriage though. I will surely get married insyaallah. Yet the benefits that I’ve got from being a free young woman are surely a bless. OMG where have I been to have realized such things just recently?
My name is Habiba. I’m 24. Single, young, and happy! Alhamdulillah!
