Today is 31 December 2009. We are going to end a year with numerous of things which may be happy or may be not. This year, there are many important events that I experienced. First of all, it is my French trip. This is the first time in my life up till now I visited a Western country.

Actually, I was supposed to be very ecstatic because I was going to explore a new living style which I always see it through movies, news and so on. However, I was so stressful at that time due to my bachelor’s dissertation. It was really so terrible that I could not control my feeling sometimes. The problem was not because the research was so complicated.

The main issues were lack of time and knowledge. We really did not have much time to do this kind of research when there were plentiful of other things to do such as assignments, assessments, projects, presentations and internship application. It was totally crazy! When being told by many seniors who had already been through, I did prepare myself by reading other research and figure out what my real interest was.

When mentioning this point, I want to talk about what other concerns were when choosing a topic. It must be some issues we need to think about before deciding what we are going to search. Types of research, obviously, are very important because there are different methods used for each kind of the paper, but the most vital concern for me at that time was data collection. I needed to choose a targeted sample which was easily accessible due to time consuming.

Although how good my preparation was, I still encountered lots of obstacles such as contents of my work, methodology, date collection and so on…I wonder whether it was nature of the research or not, I felt that it is too much for me. Sometimes, I just wanted to get rid of it. I think that nobody could actually imagine how tough my life at that time was. Just want tell some simple examples.

My tutor’s schedule was always on Friday (the last day of my studying week) when everyone was going to enjoy weekend with a lot of activities and entertainments like eating out, watching movies, shopping or at least taking a rest after a stressful week. To me, it was not a normal Friday when I always got my work rejected by my tutor who was the Head of Research Department.

I often questioned myself whether getting him as my tutor was a fortune or not since all of my friends would say “Good Luck” with a mysterious smile. The answer was disclosed when I finished my paper representation. He is a very good guy and the problem was not with him but many other things. One of them was me. I extremely put a lot of effort on it but it was not sufficient enough to have a good result.

I don’t overlap the first part purposely but I could not stop myself as mentioning about my dissertation. That is also the reason why I could not be so excited amid France trip. I could fully imagine how horrible my life was after that trip. Finally, everything is over right now, I graduated with a VHP mention. I am not so happy about it but at least better than a lower mention.

Secondly, it is my internship. I can say that it was a new chapter in my life and I really feel thankful when having chance to have internship at an event company. I had to do a lot of things which I never dare to perform it during my studying period. Training there is a good time I ever had and I will never forget people who help me to train myself as a good employee.

When writing this, I am already at my hometown. My dream has not come true yet due to many uncontrolled reasons. However, I will take this time as my holiday time when I can spend it with my family. It is what I had missed as living in another country. New Year with my new plans, I will try my best to achieve it and I hope that this day next year, I will have a good report to share. What I want to say right now is “HAPPY NEW YEAR”.
