almost there...

whew... i barely survived last week's hell..

we had our thesis defense last feb. 4 with two panelists, CT and AT. they weren't exactly scary and all but they were strict... CT never struck me as 'hotness' as det and ey calls her. she's not also that smart and pretty.... and she's rather boastful. in other words... i never liked her even from the beginning.

anyway, the panelists (esp. CT) wanted us to revise our methodolgy and data gathering. with that, it was like saying that our thesis is NOT valid at all. and we have 2 weeks to revise everything.. it was major suicide. CT was fuming while we were having defense, and ranting saying our code sheet was not a code sheet but a survey questionnaire. ...she calmed down when she realized she was being tape recorded. what can i say.

so we met with our thesis adviser, GP, who was not (of course) happy with what the two panelists suggested for us to do. she declared a war between her and CT, not speaking to each other and all that.... until GP forwarded the matter to her superior, Dept of Media Chair JA, who sort of backed us up.

Actually, our two previous research writing professors, NS and Media chair herself, agreed with us and our adviser that there is nothing wrong with our data gathering because a code sheet is definitely researchers-based. there is no standards for producing a code sheet... and so WE WON.

we only had two minor revisions with chapter one...just addendums and that's that. problem solved...

i don't know what CT is up to but nevertheless...she's blah compared to two professors with Ph.D. excuse me.

on other matters, graduation is a month and a few weeks closer.... can you believe it!? oooh... gives me the shivers.

anyway, i'm still hoping for good luck with the Law entrance exams..

this is definitely one of the best days of my life... and only i know the rest of the reason.
