Submitted my thesis last week. Worked till 6am, sent my final draft to my supervisor, and went to bed. Didn't really sleep though, as I set my alarm at 8am, and by then, my supervisor had already emailed me the final edits required. I incorporated the final changes, and saved a few copies to my pen drives, to dropbox, before I showered and headed off to uni to print.
Deadline was at 12pm, I was at the print shop at around 10.30am. It was a super cheerful asian lady. The print shop was empty, probably because it was Stuvac. Printed the entire thing in colour, cost me a fortune. But luckily the lady kindly gave me some discounts, so nice of her.
Took a few photos of them before I handed them in. Uni is finally over!!! ...OR probably not??!
One of the best things being with Jay, is that he is interesting. He's smart. Because, you know, I am already smart, so I need someone smarter for some stimulation. (Just kidding!! :-p)
I called him right after I finished posting the photos on FB, and sending them to my family. He called sick, didn't go to work that day. He kept asking me to go rest. So I asked him why was he 'so eager to get me recharged?!' lol!
We had dinner together that night. He picked the place. He always knows the good places to dine, and being the indecisive and uncreative me, I am glad.
The mains were ok. Beef Cheek (yes, the cheek of a cow!), Safron rice with grilled chicken, and the dessert, ice-cream with pomegranate and Iranian fairy floss.
I like the dessert the most. The ice cream was sticky, the flavours surprised me, and coupled with the Iranian fairy floss, it was quite good really.
Oh, so, back to smart Jay. He told me after dinner that I would be meeting with his family. I was like, why? Then only he told me that he postponed his graduation so that I could attend it! I was both shocked and excited. I was 'touched' that he actually wanted me to meet with his family. I only remembered that he mentioned to me about his graduation some time ago, and from my memory, it would be before my thesis was due. I didn't know he postpone it. It might not be solely because of me, but I am glad I was invited.
So, my first day of freedom was spent with him and his family. Second day of freedom, I had a hair cut, dealt with my immigration stuff, and met up with some friends at night for dinner. Third day of freedom, Jay invited me to have brunch with his girlfriends. And after brunch, we went to Ikea, and had a long walk along some really expensive apartments by the water. It was sweet.
Can you see the stark contrast between how I was a year or six months ago, and now? I really thank God for his blessings. I want to thank him for bringing Jay into my life. For giving me the strength to go back to uni and complete my thesis. And for the super kind supervisor.
They helped me to stand up again. I am gaining my confidence back. I am grateful. I feel loved. The sky is bluer.
Winter has finally set in. It's a late start this year. It's so cold and windy today. And Jay just left. He came over and we watched Frozen together :)
