Just finished cooking. For dinner. Simple stuff. Fried rice. The kids don’t eat much, especially at night, so why should I go through the hassle of preparing something fancy, right?
Anyway, I just submitted my conference paper to my Sudanese (I think) supervisor for him to go through yesterday morning. Another heavy load off my shoulder, at least for a few days. The conference will be held from 20th Oct to 22nd Oct. I’m not sure when my slot would be but I have a feeling that I’ll be so very nervous regardless of the date. My supervisor assured me that he’ll be there to give me a hand if I faced difficulties in answering questions from the participants, but still… *yikes!*
Nevertheless, I’m also excited. Didn’t expect to present in any conference… at least not now. It’s all a coincidence. I took up research for this final semester and coincidentally, the area of my research is also the topic of the conference. My supervisor managed to convince me to take up the challenge. And everything else is history.
Now I’m counting the days. How would they find my paper? Would my paper add any new, valuable finding to the inventory of knowledge that the participants already have? What if I can’t answer their questions? Oh my… I hope I can maintain my coolness and confidence in front of all those waqf experts.
*sighhh* Will write more later. Am going to have my dinner now.
