And a second defense...wapak!!!

Yeah, I had my case study defense last week, July 3. It was originally scheduled July 4 and when I went there last Tuesday, that was when the secretary told me. She said I could move it to the week after if I wanted. But what the heck, I figured I might as well have it over and done with. So it was moved a day earlier.

Thursday morning was rather bleak, dreary and wet. Hopefully, not a reflection of what the day was going to be. So there was I was, with a sleepless night, with my bags full of clothes and my papers and other things. Wearing disreputable jeans, a shirt and of course, slippers. After all, its Intramuros in Manila so I wanted to be prepared just in case there was ummm...flooding...hehehe.

The trip going there was quite cold. The bus was packed with people but I got there at the expected time. I had time to enroll and pay for the case study. I saw another student who was also having her case study defense like me. She used to be my classmate when I was taking my last 9 units and she was going to be presenting first. I was scheduled at three-thirty.

We had time to chat and plan on what we were going to buy for snacks for the panelists. We made calls and settled for something simple for them to eat as well as the people in the office too. Then we had lunch and we waited and waited til it was 1pm. I changed and then Ms. Jenneth, my molar support as I call her arrived. Hurrah. I was feeling more and more nervous while waiting. Finally, the started and we waited at the Chancellor's office. Ms. Jenneth and I chatted to pass the time and from time to time I would read my paper just to help me remember details.

Finally, it was time for me to go since it was 3pm. Presentation went well. Ms. Jenneth stayed to watch. I originally didn't want her there but I figured, she might was well learn from my experience. All in all, I was satisfied with my presentation and now I'm working on my final revisions.

Yehey!!! Finally have it over and done with...its not comparable as the first defense that I have. It's kinda different but all the same, I am happy with what I have done. And I love my grade too, Excellent!!! Call me master, soon...wapak!!!!
