Goodbye to the month of sorrow and hello to my month! Well, I was planning to post something on the 1st, but ended up with forgetting it till today. Yeah, I had my skripsi proposal convention on the 1st November, in other words, the first challenge of the month. That day was quite a tiring day. I was the first person (what I mean is the FIRST person in my batch) that would have the skripsi proposal convention.
I arrived at the campus around 9.40 am and quite surprised with the students who wore my campus blazer. I thought that those were the ones who would join my convention. Phew, my thought was wrong and they were the juniors who wanted to attend the Nationality class. When I arrived at the convention class, I saw CT had arrived there. Wow, so fast, hahax. I prepared my things for the convention and had the first obstacle: the projector didn't connect with the computer. Then I asked the CS to call the IT staff to fix it. Fortunately, it could connect to the computer. At that time, the duo Jessica arrived dunno whether as the supporters or as the witnesses of my awkwardness when I answered the examiners. After some minutes, the projector didn't connect with the computer again. My advisor had arrived at that time, and still I got another obstacle == Then I asked the CS again, but she said I'd better move to another class. I ran again to the lecturers' office to ask my advisor whether we could move to another class. She approved then I ran to the CS to take the remotes for classes. I entered 4-1 and everything was alright till I found out that the projector couldn't be swung down. I was like OMG and I moved to 4-2 and another problem was that class' computer had no CPU. I was frustrated with my campus condition! I ran (again and again) to the lecturers' office to ask my advisor for the solution. She said that that projector at 4-1 could be swung down, just asked the IT staff to handle it. Then, for God's sake, I dunno how many times I ran, I ran again to the class to prepare it for the convention, then walked (I was tired already even before the convention) to the front office to ask the CS to call the IT staff to fix the projector. At that time my first examiner had arrived also. The last thing to do was move my bag and all of the things I brought to that class. At last I could sit and calm myself down. Around 10.45 (which was 45 minutes late), the second examiner arrived at 4-1 and in several minutes my advisor and the first examiner entered the class. I was like, okay, this is it!
I gave each of them a yellow map which each consisted of some forms for skripsi proposal convention and my skripsi proposal. The convention began with my advisor greetings as the moderator of the convention. Then I began my presentation which maybe last for only 15 mins. After that, the first examiner asked questions to me. Well, I was very surprised by her questions, which was quite hard for me to answer. Not only that, she checkmated me and I just could laugh with people inside the class, hahax XD I dunno why she was so interested with my topic and asked me for about 20 mins till I told her that the second examiner wanted to sleep already, hahax. Actually she still wanted to asked me, but then she realized that she asked for too many questions and let the second examiner to ask me. The second examiner was not a problem to me, she just asked things that I should add to my skripsi, and she asked for 5 mins only. Then my advisor asked me to go out for a while because they wanted to calculate the score of my proposal convention. I was dehydrated so much because of the first examiner, hahax. After several minutes, the advisor asked me to come in again and announced that my score was 93.7! At that time I dunno why I didn't feel excited at all, maybe because I was tired already. Then CT continued for her convention as well, guess what, her convention was about 30 mins only ==
The duo Jessica and some other friends were quite shocked with the first examiner's questions that almost beat me down, hahax. I nagged to JW so much after I had my convention while watching CT's convention. But seriously, I had a severe headache after that convention, too much thinking I guess, hahax. So, I decided to sleep to celebrate my post-proposal convention. I just want to thank God for His grace, I know I couldn't do it without His help =) To be honest, I feel like it was not me who passed that convention, like someone acted in behalf of me and I was just watching my outer-self doing all of that. I even didn't feel nervous for that convention, and I laughed a lot XD The second examiner felt weird and asked why I was so happy, hahax. Yeah, I can relax for at least until the end of this year, and start to deal with this again next year. Maybe I'll prepare myself for another competition at UI next January. My friends keep on asking me for the proposal convention experience, and maybe I've told this story for 3-4 times already == I know they can pass it also =)
Thank you God, my parents, and my buddies who have prayed for me. Left the last step, which is the final convention, then after that, a real goodbye for undergraduate life =)
