Many of my friends were shocked that I came back to
the US even after I graduated from the college. Well, I did not really tell
many people or I would say I only told my family and close friends that I still
had two classes to complete in order to officially become an undergraduate
degree holder. So, I went back for a short summer break after I completed my spring
semester. I came back to SF on the middle of July to attend one online and one
in class lecture. Summer class is basically considered as a short but
fast-paced class. It is only a 4-week class and one week as final exams week.
So, this week is the last week of class, which is
also the final exam week. For this very last semester of mine, I did not have a
heavy-loaded or stressful semester. This is because I actually completed all of
my GE classes and major classes. I am taking these two classes just for the
credits earned to fully qualify as an undergraduate. Hence, I enrolled in
Ethnic Studies and Theories of Personalities class that only have assignments
and take-home finals. Basically I just need to write two papers and submit it,
and then I am done with the class.
I finished writing all my papers on the week before
my final exam week, as I was pretty free this semester. Thus, it is a bit hard
or unbelievable that I have the most relaxing final exam week since I started
my college life. I mean I always stressed out with my final exams because the
US education systems always have no study break in between the last lecture and
final exams. When all assignments are due on the last week of lecture, final
exams are always the following week. This is the main reason why I often not
feeling well especially when finals are approaching. It was really stressful
and unbearable.
Kay, the main point of this post is the feelings that
I wanted to share when I completed writing both of my final papers. I totally
had mixed feelings when I submitted my papers, but I felt more sad than happy. I mean I felt really glad that I
did not have to stress out with writing a good paper and ensuring myself to
obtain a decent grade, but at the same time, I felt really sad that all these
moments would be missed. Although I know that, I will be writing more and
harder thesis papers in my future (thanks to my major,) I guess the feelings
will definitely be distinct. With that, I hope that I will stay active in
writing especially in updating my blog as often as I can just to ensure that my
writing skills remain with me even temporary without schooling life.
So yeah, I ended my undergraduate life in SFSU with a
huge smile and a 90-degree bow to every single professor, faculty, classmate,
course mate as well as friend. I learned a lot throughout these three years.
From an immature 20-year old girl to an unemployed lady now, I feel totally
different, excited and amazing. I hope that with all the challenges that I went
through, it prepares me for a better, prosperous and bright future.
