Amazing how time flies. I still remember the times when I wished that uni life would end as soon as possible.... And now the time has come, yet it feels all so surreal...
I think one of the worst times I've had in NTU would actually be my Final Year Project in the final semester. I had a very very horrible mentor who really treats me like a slave. While
I'm slogging in the lab running her bloody columns, she's sitting outside watching videos. But I decided to suck it up and just get through the semester, without complaints! Turns out, I am damn tolerant....
On the day of my presentation, I heard from one of my batchmates that the mentor has been an ass ever since she started mentoring students.... He himself, after one month, went to complain to our prof supervisor and refused to continue under her. Another friend, actually broke down on a day, when he had to run three freaking columns.... Imagine, a GUY, breaking down.... I must admit that there have been times I really wanted to break down as well, but I just persevered. I knew that if I could get through that, then anything thrown at me in the future would be easy peasy! One day after my presentation, another batchmate said that she o
nce had a summer research student who totally couldn't stand her, and even fought with her....
After hearing all these, I didn't feel alone anymore. I was relieved. I was happy. It was such an amazing feeling of having something being lifted off. Thank God for these stories and people.
This post sets to remind me that, I can persevere and endure as long as I put my mind to it.... Don't need to care about what others say, or what others have done. Because I know that if I can make it through any tribulations, I will come out as a stronger person! :)
P.S. Initially, I bought cookies for me mentor (as appreciation)... After hearing the stories my friends told me, I brought the cookies back to enjoy them myself!!! HAHAHAHAHAHA
