Job, Me and ITC

This morning I woke up quite early. It was still dark outside and there were few cars passing the street. After boiling the water, I took time to read my ODB and the Bible passage. The story was about Job who was in a 'game' between God and Satan. This is one of my favourite stories from Bible where some time I try to compare myself with him when I was facing difficulties. O...No, Job was much more suffering than me. Reading the Job story from Bible, I am sure that he suffered severely.

I try to look myself through what Job has suffered and how he maintained his perceptions. It's so unbelievable for me that he is still faithful to God in facing all his difficulties. I just remember how I some time hate my present condition because so much work to do for my thesis. Haha, I should be thankful while in this situation I still have many things around me and those should convince me to maintain a positive thinking, shouldn't I?

Today ITC was visited by a committee from Dutch accreditation for Higher Education in the Netherlands. And six MSc students were selected to be interviewed by the committee to answer questions about our experiences in ITC. You know what makes this situation a bit difficult? The discussion went like a defense of thesis. Gee, I was asked by the committee to explain about why I selected particular methods for my data collection and why not other methods which is more common for use. And I was a bit surprised because I had not thought that such question would appear in the meeting. Later on I found out that the man who asked was a professor in the methods that I did not use for data collection. Hahaha, that makes sense that he asked me for detail though it's not exactly inline with the purpose of the meeting. This meeting for the accreditation has seemed very crucial and fearful because it has consequences to ITC future. At least that's why I saw from many faces of people there.

So, everyone faces a problem, right?
