After Thesis Presentation

Thesis oral exam is over. I am so relax now though the thesis has not finished yet. During last two month I was in a very tense state, especially last 10 days. I even can not feel asleep before 2 o'clock at the monring. Cleaning the data, tiresome job. Last Sat. I went to bed at about 6am and get up about 10:30 and looked for a room to move in. Last fews day, nightmares every night all about my thesis. One night I dreamed that Prof. Hong come here to visit SMU and he would like to sit in presentation. However, due to his travel schedule he will leave soon which means that my presentation will be brought forward. My God! I even fear that I can not finish it before deadline. Then I waked up.

Every day work hard, small mistakes were found again and agian in the data then I have to rerun the regression and summarize the results. I should say that these days, I was not at a good mood.

Here I would like to say thank you to some person who help me a lot during these tough period. First is ABC. He helps me a lot during past year. Not just the lecture but also try to help set up my confidence. Second, I would like to thank you to Prof. Lin. Every time I don't how to go on and how to interpret my results I resorted to him and he replied very soon. Without his help I can not achieve this step. Then, I would like to say thank you to Prof. Wu. At the end of March, just before he went to US. He talked me about my thesis after that I finanlly decided the exact topic to zoom into. And yesterday afternoon, I was so worry about my presentation today. He let me to present to him first. He asked a few questions and how I have to change my slides. Also, he asked me to prepare for what the exminer may ask. His feedback made me relax and I get the confidence. Then, I would like to say thank you to Yen Teik. He is always very helpful. Also Jerry helped me a lot. YingKui gave me the CDS data which he downloaded day and night. I can not thank him more. ....... The list is too long. I can not finish it. I would like to go back to my new place now and then enjoy the moive and tmr keep on running.

Struggling!
