I AM FINALLY FREE!
Let us take a moment for the truth of the above statement to sink in. Ahh, the relief, the joy, the sense of liberation.

And because I am such a lazy brat, I will ctrl-v all that I've just done in my fb note here.

Liberation is oh so sweet.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Miranda would like to express her deepest gratitude to a few important figures who have been by her side throughout this trying and torturous phase of her life, affectionately known as the EOYs or EYAs by the very students who suffer from its effects, both immediate and protracted. Miranda has been able to survive the past three weeks of muggerification solely due to the sustained support and concern of these people.
Firstly, she would like to thank her valued study buddy, TAN HUI YI for being such a cooperative, encouraging and productive study buddy. She would also like to thank huiyi's family for being so accomodating, and feeding her + giving her lifts during intensive mugging sessions at huiyi's abode.
Secondly, she would like to thank her lovely classmates / fellow sufferers, for being in the same sinking boat as her throughout all the assessments. Exams would never be the same without you, dear classmates, for both your physical presence and emotional encouragement have given her the strength to carry on. Thank you, Nan and Nat Kim, for the brief mugging session that made mugging fun. Thank you, Marge and Nat Goh, for being familiar sources of human presence throughout the duration of the paper.
Thirdly, she would like to thank her teachers, in particular the dedicated ones like misskamsir who took the time to reply her long-winded query-filled email ON THE SAME NIGHT with LONG LONG answers. Teachers extend to the TUITION TEACHERS, all of whom, she is inclined to think, deserve to be shown even more gratitude, really.
Last but not least, she would like to thank a group of people who love her so much no matter what, and who she knows she cannot live without. Her family has been a constant source of motivation, love and courage, especially under such trying circumstances. With Daddy's constant "girl ah, so stressed, want CHOCOLATE ICE CREAM?", Mummy's concerned "you need me to buy some guidebooks/assesment books/ model essay books / Brand's essence?" and her lovely little sister Melnana's "GOODNIGHT JIEJIE GOOD LUCK *hugs*". Yes, she does love her family a lot.

And. I'm free. Really free.

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
