I have a successful presentation yesterday. The requirement was challenging: finding something wrong in the book Bank Management by Timothy Koch or from the Professor’s lecture to make an argument. I had obsessed with this requirement, was always in a worry that I couldn’t find any and would be failed for this class. Unbelievable – how could it happen for a Grad student taking an undergrad class!!! But actually it was so difficult to me. I read continuously, just tried my best to find a point, taking advantage of any time during my shifts in the lab room to read and read, think and think. Actually I came up with some ideas one month ago, but they were not strong enough to be arguments! It was the real world and I had no idea about how a real US bank would work. My banking knowledge was messed up. Nothing clear…I was almost hopeless until 12pm yesterday because I couldn’t find any evident to support my argument. Stressful. Very high concentration. When I decided to give up, the first data and info appeared on the screen after many efforts to search…I felt that I was rescued! I spent a lot of time, put a lot of mind, just for 5-minute presentation!
After the presentation, I ate out with my roommate to relax. I studied very hard during last two days under the pressure of the big banking project due and the individual presentation. So happy because a heavy day with a lot of pressure finally passed.
But later, I felt sad… It’s hard to recover the trust from an important one to you… I’m so busy with school and work, just thought that there was someone who can understand and support me. But I’m wrong.
Happiness and Sadness are just two states – but they switch so fast. Happy today and Sad tomorrow…and the following day…happy or sad…
Rise and Shine!
