Me : Sensei, if I were to drop this part, then what should I writewrite to replace it?
Sensei : no you don’t have to. Thesis isn’t about showing how much you have read. Being consistant with the topic is the most important thing
My supervisor and I agreed to finish my thesis by August 2016. Yet, I only managed to submit in 3 February 2017. Six months after. Oh, I was not late though. I was being on time. The thesis was submitted on the very deadline mentioned by the academic office. Now the system has recorded that I finished the study. Alhamdulillah.
My master life has been quite a challenge . As a very active person, I made myself to be the busiest student every year. Of course it gave me so many distractions. Due to this, I had to do a very tiring sprint towards the end of period.
The six months sprint was barely easy. One may not ever imagined so many things could happen only within the short time. I even came to experience the hardest storm in my life. when my dad passed away.
Some people might say I have wasted so much. But now that it is ending, I can see that everything was a lesson to me. Obviously my thesis is not a masterpiece –it does not even deserve a B+, but at least now I know I could produce a book of 128 pages. In English—my third language. And it is a research. Who would have thought that I might be a researcher? Maybe even my late father didn’t dream of this. (He might have thought I would be a humanity activist. Or a diplomat—HAHA)
