Free At Last, Free At Last!!

Free at last, free at last! Thank God Almighty I am free at Last!!
That is just one week I was too eager to get done with and it just never seemed like the end would make an appearance anytime soon. The struggle to keep myself motivated was incredible. The temptation to simply give in and give up was worse!
The sleepless nights. The dashes between the test venue, then the library, then my place for a quick shower ( and maybe a nap, that could never last more than an hour), attend lectures, then back to the library, had me in such a vicious cycle of insanity that threatened to cause my brain to explode. So much data to be consumed, absorbed, processed, understood and converted into meaningful information, that of course would be rendered useless if I did not find a way to retain it and regurgitate on demand!

It's in these times where one's faith comes into play in a big way ( well mine did). Suddenly remembering my grandmother always saying, that in hard times one must always keep strong and and focused. remember why you are even fighting at all. There are plenty other people in the world who are going through far worse than you can imagine and many more have gone through what you are going through right now ( without any complaints mind you). God would never give you more than you can handle, she would say, and you my little piglet have very broad shoulders ( whatever that meant,I thought, you know old people and their nonsensical wisdom).

As I thought of her, I started to think that hey, maybe God thinks I can handle a heck of a lot. Because here I am, 7 tests in five consecutive days plus 2 assignments, but yeah here I am still standing!
This was one hell of a week. I really don't think I would wish it on anyone, not even people I don't particularly like.
I'm just glad I made it and I feel amazing about the work I put in and am anticipating great results!
This studying business is not "hard" but it is by no measure easy either. It has its moments. Mad respect to those who have done before me and to those who are still in it, like me, hold on and keep pushing. Nothing more amazing than looking back on what you once thought you could not do and being on the other side smiling at how silly that was because here you are now on the other side

Now I can enjoy a lazy weekend in bed, crack open an ice cold beer and breathe a sigh of relief, because I am Free at last , Free at Last. Thank Almighty God , I am Free at Last!!

..... 'til the next horror week of course
