I've Survived in another Semester, One More to Go!

I am writing this with excitement after going through a very stressful semester. This semester was supposed to be a cool one for me and my course-mates because we did only 5 courses, but our lecturers said 'hell no' by bombarding us with assignments and presentations.

This was one of the most stressful semesters I have experienced in my university life because I began the semester with the intention to accomplish so many tasks aside from the day-to-day class work.

My social life was very poor this semester, and most of my friends were bothered if I was actually on campus. I wanted to spend some time with some of my Hive friends, but it didn't work out.

During the beginning of the semester, I was appointed by my department as one of the core members of the department's Hackaton committee. The Hackerton committee aims to guide fellow students in attaining practical knowledge as IT students so that they can appreciate being IT students.
We members of the committee had to dedicate a chunk of our time to organizing programs and training sessions for students in our department. Even though we didn't find it easy as an infant department, we were able to deliver as a committee.

Notably among our programs was the INFOTEES ladies weekend practical session. This program was in collaboration with the INFOTEES ladies commissioner, it has helped most of the ladies gain some practical knowledge during the course of the semester, and I am very glad for that. We also organized a seminar for career guidance by inviting some of our lecturers, and they diligently made it an interesting and memorable program.

Another thing that kept me busy this semester was getting a gig from my first client for a website. I spent a lot of energy on the project, and I was able to complete it in a month's time. But the annoying thing is that I am still having monetary issues with the client.

As a final-year student, project work was one of my biggest headaches during the semester. I was lucky to have been assigned to a serious supervisor who has dedicated his time to supervising our work. I was lucky that my project proposal was accepted, and I was able to complete the first chapter before exams. Now I was given the go-ahead to submit Chapter 2. I hope the laziness in me will not show up in this project because I want to graduate this year.

I am very grateful to God for making this semester a success, and I will be preparing for the final semester to come so that we can go and finalize everything. For now, it's all about Hive-ing, coding, movies, and some time with family and friends. Thank you for your time on my blog. I wish you all the best in your endeavors.
