Damn it, Submit paper..

論文修改終於告一段落,原以為輕鬆了,嘿嘿, 請一天假回學校跑流程,拿畢業證書........ 沒想到... 代誌不是憨人所想的那麼簡單~~~

I took a day off and took MRT to Tamkang Univ. When I went to our department and told the lady: " I am going to run the process today," she looked at me wiredly. She said:" I do not except that you'll come today." What did she mean? Well, she meant to say that there's lot of shit things that will happen before you get your degree.

First is to combine all paper in one pdf file, insert watermark as background, and upload. They said I can finished it at home. When they checked okay, they'll send a notice to me for allowing me to print out my thesis and make copies. Shit, why don't they mention it on email? I got a few problems. 1. I do not familiar with PDF system. 2. I don't know how to add watermark on to word file. 3. I can't do it at home because my computer did nto have pdf software. Since I already in school, I would better to fix it there. I tried several times to convert, but failed. When I asked them for help, they just told to follow instruction on website. The convert processing took me a morning and an afternoon. (I skip lunch in order to expedite). Till 3 o'clock, I finally converted all doc to pdf files and make these in one pdf file and upload. I ran to my department, and want the lady to check. The lady told me a piece of sad news: your page number did not match your content. Gee, no one told me that convert word to pdf, the format will change and now I kn0w it.. the page number will slight different, so it would be better recheck before uploading. Shit, Shit, Shit...................They suggest me to go back to library and redo all process... Start it all over again? yes, I have to because I did not save original document when all format are change to correct one. Gee, kill me that would be easier than done these shit things! I go back to library and tried but I can't complete before library was closed (they closed early in summer vocation).

So, I decided to eat something before taking bus. A rest and eating something will reflesh me. I order a bowl of noodle, the boss asked me to pay first, then I found that my bag is gone... Where? The WC? The department? Probably left it in library!! Godish... What have I done for myself? My ID, cashes, MP and cards are in that bag... What if someone took my bag? What if library was closed? All bad things came to my mind at once, what I could do was runing, runing, keep running. It had been 2 years for not running, I can't speed up any faster.. I found my foot were so heavy and I am so fat for not able to expedite my speed. When I finally reached the door of library, that door was still open. I ran into the library, and found my bag was safely stay stillness under the desk I sat. Well, what a close! Though I complete nothing and waste a day off, at least I did not lost anything, either!

After I went home and do some research about tools I need (software of PDF converter and adobe acrabat 7.0 professional), I finally get a comprehensive ideas about how to uploading my paper... I must be a slow learn because it took me a day off and afterward a lot of time on searching free software. But it's worthy. I learned pdf knowledgement, such as PDF redirect, and free trial of adobe acrabat 7.0 professional. It turned out to be interesting because these software will help on my jobs, too. Is it so hard to get a Master degree in each step?

LESSON: Must be well prepared for everything that you're going to do, otherwise, you're just wasting your time and money.
