Is it really?

After trudging through 4 years of near-impossible education, I thought the last day would be like flash-bam-alakazam (song: Orange Coloured Sky), or that's the gist of it at least. And since it wasn't any written paper examination but a more active Poster Day, I thought it would be.. well, flash-bam-alakazam. But it wasn't.

It was physically tiring, on top of mentally vexing, which is essentially double the damage as compared to a written paper exam. Physically tiring? It never crossed my mind that 2 sessions of 2 hours of standing would be so exhausting. Mentally? At first, I was nervous because I didn't fully prepare a proper presentation at all. Later, I was nervous because, duh, will I do well in front of the examiner? But finally, I was nervous-free, and completely annoyed and I wanted my examiner to turn up NOW. He did, but only 20 minutes before the entire thing ended.

But of course, the blessings were too obvious for me to decide that the examiner's long-awaited appearance was uncalled for. I mean, I had plenty of practice throughout the entire 3hours and 40 minutes. And I wasn't nervous anymore.

At the end of the day, I feel more positive than negative about Poster Day. And at least some other people did think my project was interesting, which is an assurance and confirmation of my efforts. Also, my sup was around as an examiner too. As usual, I'm very very encouraged.

All that said, I was drained, sapped, stoned, such that feeling good about the end, didn't matter anymore. Ah well, I also had another urgent thing that filled me up with guilt, but that's another issue. Besides, the next thing waiting for me is work, which is not exactly exciting. Ah yes, I returned to school the next day anyway, to submit the last things that need to be submitted.

That is why I ask, is it really over?

Well. Whatever. The days come one after another, nothing stops.

Someone called me "DIY queen". Er well, I wish to deny that, but then I had indeniably just finished preparing my mask for the school DnD. The DnD with a french title which the organisers themselves can't pronounce very accurately. Hah! Bonnuit!
