Relief

I've just come out of the MOST stressful period i have been through in my ENtire life...period. The last 3 weeks have been CrAzY, due to my 70% design project that was really worrying me. I just stepped into the library after a dissapointing demonstration session, and i'm just thinking back on the last 12 weeks (yes i started on week one) of work seemingly gone down the drain.

Just a mere 12 hrs before, we had it recognizing shapes and turning at near 90 degree turns. We then decided to improve it by making it near-perfect, a decision that brought the downfall of the bot, and thus leaving us with only left turns, and ONE right. Man, it was embarrasing because our group was expected to do well. Our lecturer, who was taking care of our group had HIGH hopes that it would work. Couldn't stand standing there seeing the look on his face... :(

But i must say, i felt His peace there. Yes there were times i was on the verge of screaming my head off and running around in circles pulling my hair, but he kept me sane : to the 3-4 all nighters i had to endure, through the 'tense' moments we had in the group (not many btw) and the countless hours i spent trapped in the lab. It does count for something - i did my best, and i did it to please Him above all.

Now it's back to life. i'm just so glad the pressure is off; but i do feel guilty for not performing. i feel guitly for dropping a lot of things, including responsibilities, friends, other important stuff to complete some design project. i should have known better...

i need sleep!
