Every Disappointment is a Blessing
They say every disappointment is a blessing and due to things that has happened to me recently, I really do think it's true.
For some time now, I've come to realize that things I worry about always ends up just sorting itself out without me actually doing anything. It has happened a couple of times and today's event just proved to me that I'm right.
For some couple of weeks now, I've been getting pretty nervous on who my project supervisor would be. I'm currently in my final year and these projects can be really really expensive and time consuming, so one prayer that has always been in my mind was for me to get a good project supervisor who wouldn't ask I and my team (multiple students gets the same project supervisor) to go build something really expensive or take us through hell before we get the project done.
So I had a couple of lecturers I didn't want my name to fall under and this was simply because these men are known to be really strict and will force you to redo the whole project if they fine even the tiniest of mistakes, not minding the time and money youvry spent on building it.
Well, the list eventually got out few days ago and something strange happened, my name wasn't on it. Every other person had been assigned to a lecturer except me. So I contacted the right people to know what was wrong because I was starting to get scared if something wrong had happened somewhere.
But fortunately for me, I had gone to school today to meet the man in charge of assigning students to lecturers and it turned out he had mistakenly omitted my name while compiling the list. Now that would had somehow being a bad news for me but then he told me that due to that error, I get to choose any lecturer to be my project supervisor.
When he said it, I had thought he was pulling my legs but it didn't take long for me to realize he was being serious about it. And that was how I went from being scared of who I was going to be assigned to, to actually picking my project supervisor myself.
Of course I went for the nicest lecturer on the list and now I can't wait to get done with this project and be done with this school.
Wow, this is a huge testimony and you must be excited about it. I can imagine how you felt when you didn't see your name on the list not knowing it happened for the best reasons.
Congratulations on the success of your project in advance and now that you have the lecturer of your choice, things just go very smoothly for you.
Good luck sire.
It's indeed a good news because I was really scared at first.. I'm just glad everything worked out for my good.
Thank you.
It's really a blessing in disguise. The lecturer in charge of assigning students to supervisors already did a lot of work assigning students to supervisors. Getting you assigned to a supervisor was an extra task for him. And it came up when he thought he was done with assigning of students to supervisors. So, naturally, you'd make his additional task a lot easier if you chose your preferred lecturer.
I can relate to what it feels like to be assigned to a mean supervisor because I experienced it too. So, I'll say "congratulations" to you.
Thank you so much..
