Finally, it's done!
I am so tired and it's only Tuesday. :-(
Last weekend, I spent the two days (plus Thaipusam holiday) completing some tasks for THE DAY. There's still a lot to be done, but I am grateful to have my mum and my sister helping me out. We were traipsing around town looking for some 'stuff' and perhaps that's why I feel a bit tired. I've come to the realization though that there are so many little, little things that needs to be done, and I am happy for any help that comes my way.
Today, I also managed to Fed-Ex all my PhD documents (whew, finally it's done!) to the US. I'm only sending documents to two universities; we'll see which one will take me. :-P Both are in Ohio, but one university is in a small Ivy-League university and I am not putting too much hope on getting in for that one. Here, I also had a lot of help from my colleagues, especially the One on Top (he he he) and my immediate boss. They really said some nice things in the recommendation letters and I am really glad for that! :-) I'm just trying my luck, please pray for me!
Here's a trivia, I was tagged again by Kak Hana. Those who read this, you are encouraged to do this tag, but not morally obligated. He he he he. Enjoy!
