I Can Plan, yet I Can’t Determine

dear readers,
This is my second week of my extremely very long break that probably will still remain two months or let us say up to the middle of August. This long break really has me going crazy. I am pretty sure I will absolutely get bored during this extremely very long break since till now I haven’t found any interesting and useful activity to do, but reading some books I borrow at public library and doing a new released hobby( writing at blog or I name this as doing free writing exercises without any fear about grade! Yaay!!)

What to be written? Remembering I belong to the beginner level of a writer in such a hobby, I will start up this blog with my writing about my second semester in FBS that turned out tough. I had better cite you about my story related to my experiences during this tough second semester. Why can I say so? Check this story out!

From the beginning of this semester, I had just thought that my grades in this semester are likely to be lower than the first semester. Now on, this terrible prediction comes out exactly true! No doubt, for the first grade I checked at ALAM (the students smart teller machine), I got an AB! That’s not too a bad grade actually, but that’s such a distant grade from what I’ve been planning and expecting. When this class had come to an end, I counted all my five grades from one lecturer and there other five are from another lecturer in this class. I felt confidence I would definitely get an A since my average for that class is 91. Nevertheless, the standard of this class is such a high standard I have ever know .my friend said that 96 at least, for an A. an no bargaining! No problem, this all means I got to study harder and with tighter intension to reach my dreams getting an A in a listening class.

The second obstacle I faced the second semester was about my MKU class (KWn). You know what? You have to know this! It is worth to know! The lecturer of this class just went to this class and taught us twice during this semester before suffering from his terrible severely disease. From what I heard, he is suffering from Strokes. I can tolerance that as nobody wants to suffer from such a disease. Some of my friends really went mad cause of that, and decided not to come to his class until the end of this semester whereas a new lecturer had been sent after the class was previously cancelled. I wonder why he did not get any information, I mean How come nobody enlightened him about the substitution of the lecturer.

Although, he was in terrible condition that time and it is likely he is still in the medication now, he is such a responsible lecturer. Why? Because he sent us another lecturer to teach and such a rascal! We began all the things we had perfectly done such as several presentations, some Q-A sessions and bla….bla…bla…over again.

The first encounter with the new lecturer was so promising. He came and he planned everything, so all seemed to be engineered well and all seemed would be finished on time, as the planned time and all problems seemed gone. We came to the class in the following week, wanting to get some materials and to present our slide shows. We patiently waited liked a rock for him, but he did not come and the worse had come to the worst. It was reoccurred! The lecturer didn’t come reaching to the last week of this semester.

As the last resort, he instructed us to collect the project papers and all of us got B except some of his beloved students who always listed for students who did come or did not. In Bahasa Indonesia, we call this SIAL!

We actually could gain an A if we were active in asking questions and responding or expressing our opinions or thoughts about the topic that was being discussed.

I do realize that it is one consequence of my decision to earn my bachelor degree of English literature here. I am never upset due to my decision that I put much faith on, since I am sure, my future is here. I consider that as my bad luck, and of course, it becomes my motivation to gain more in the next semester. Over all I know we as humans ca plan but we can’t determine what God has planned for us.
