Thesis Oral Defence
I cancled my revision plan for yesterday and took a bus early in the morning to the old campus, because the thesis oral defense was held there yesterday.
Trees are luxuriently green as it has alway been. Walking on the quiet yet acdemic feeling campus is rather ravishing. We were in time for the comment to the sample oral defence made by a female senior student. She receive an extra five points for her bravery to stand out as the first one.
During the following three hours in the morning, we watched several seniors doing their presentation and being confronted with harsh questions. From their performance, of course, I learnt some experience and noted them down. However, it’s not an easy job to do. It envolve too much work including reading, understanding, summerizing, paraphrazing, reorganizing and presentation skills, courage, good manner to take out the defence, etc.
Today, the seniors are required to move out of their dorms on the old campus. That is to say, we are the up-coming seniors now. There are only three months before our senior year. I cannot help worrying about my last year in college. It is supposed to be as routine as the one the move-outers have once pushed through. No surprise but heavy psycho burden. Thesis, resume, job hunting, defence and total dependence on oneself only.
