Academic stress

AFTER THE LONG SUFFERING, after languishing the heat I encounter along the road, after of traversing from one building to another, after printing multitudinous copies of my documents, after revising and revising over and over again, finally…

I’m close to passing my thesis writing subject.


This morning, Ma’am Tacbad, the panel chair of my thesis committee of panelists, didn’t want me to suffer anymore. She said, “Di na kita pahihirapan.”

I remember, the first time I defended this thesis to my panelist, I simulated as if I was happy in front of them. Until my sentiments fell into sundry and my eyes turned watery – I cried (or even blabbered)!

Now, I’m done with two of my panelists. One more to go, and all my “academic stress” will be gone....
