Finally!! The 1st stage over, 2nd stage..

Finally!! Today, all zachuts received.
Next will be the sessions for Physiology and Biochemistry.
And then, homeward bound..!

The examination scheme for Russia is as such:
After every class (after every chapter) ==> a test is given.
After every month (after every subtopic) ==> a control is given.
After every 2-3 months (after every topic) ==> a colloquim is given.
After every semester (end of 5 months) ==> a zachut is given.
After collection of zachuts for every single subject ==> a session (final exam) is given.

Obtaining full marks for every single colloquim and zachut for a specific subject enables the student to attempt a project to try to acheive "avtomat" which means exemption from the session with full marks on the report book.

And so, today,
I've finally, painstakingly, acheived my final zachut.
And as the dean placed the stamp on my zachut book,
The stamp which enables me to go for my sessions,
I silently thanked God.
Now, I'm one step closer to my desire to return to Malaysia,
The place I can really call home.

And now,
The 2nd stage begins.
Physiology session on coming Wednesday, 3/6/09
Biochemistry session on coming Monday, 8/6/09
After finishing these two sessions, I can finally start shopping and packing.

God,
Pull me through,
As You have always done,
Of this I ask of You.
Amen.
