The last week of the semester entered and it was the most hectic one since exams, project submissions, and thesis defenses had to be done all at once. It was simply a nightmare. Many chose to just go with the flow and submit a subpar work when they could no longer deal with the pressure.
It was now the third Monday of June. Defense day for Chen Fang's department.
Chen Fang loosened his necktie since he felt like he was being strangled by it. The weather was also very hot, yet every male student had to wear formal attire. One could imagine how sweaty they were underneath their clothes as they sat nervously or stood in line outside the speech laboratory.
Chen Fang who had teamed up with a few competent classmates was not spared from this torture. Only when their turn ended and the result was quite satisfactory, did the weight on his shoulders finally got lifted.
"We survive. So we now have to drink till daybreak to our heart's content."
