well this may be kinda strange, but I've just finished semester 2 here. I know other friends had already stated this since..2 weeks ago. not that I'm anti-mainstream or anything else, it's just, due to my trip to Malang and Purwokerto, I skipped 3 exams and I had to catch up on makeup exams and it's just finished by today.
I'm excited. no, I'm feeling much more complicated than just excited. I'm happy, teary, excited, kinda disappointed, a lil sad, etc. I've been spending 2 semesters here. and it seems like I don't really optimally enjoy my time here hahah. well, to be a freshman was really an unforgettable experience. believe it or not, at the very first time I lived a freshman life, I was feeling like..everything's difficult. I had to do everything by myself, moreover I was also far away from home and my family. I only knew few people. but by time, I discovered more. I knew more people. I interacted. and it became normal.
those are what I got after UB's Week 2012. well, for you guys who haven't heard about UB's week, it is the orientation program. for several campuses, it's called Ospek. but in Universitas Bakrie, we call it UB's week. there are also some parts of UB's week: rally campus, business competition, student talent, and outbond program.
UB's week were so cool! I mean, how could they conduct an orientation program yet give us some fun at once? I was in Group 5. and our group was awarded as the best group hahah it is the award given for those who collect more awards than others. well in rally campus, we were on the second position. and in business competition, we were in third position. haha
the photo was taken when I attended the Gathering of Program Studi Teknik Industri Universitas Bakrie. kinda awkward at first, but then we were joking around. although not all the IE students attended this event, the main point was achieved. we knew and interacted each other as a part of IE UB. several days (or weeks? I don't precisely remember) after the gathering, we conducted Makrab or Malam Keakraban. this event was also enjoyable. I was sick, I got fever, I vomited (well,sorry), I was really unhealthy. but seniors and friends were so kind. Kak Suci helped me giving tea, Kak Agis helped me having my dinner, Kak Mega and Kak someone-I-forgot-his-name-but-I-knew-he-was-a-guy helped looking for the medicines, Tabita, and others that I can't mention one-by-one now. so touchy. even when we just knew each other for less than two months, they already showed how they really care.
those were the classes I took at Semester 1. to be honest, I was so nervous being IE student. I never planned to take engineering, I told you a lot. and yes, meeting Calculus, Chemistry, oh my.. took lots of courage and commitment. I was not the cleverer. but I am still grateful that my grades were still good hehehehh. I didn't have any favorite subject in particular. but I like Pengantar Bisnis dan Manajemen. I didn't get A in the class though haha but, I still think that the matters within the book are easy-to-follow and it's so colorful inside so I liked reading it sometimes at my leisure time.
in Universitas Bakrie, I found comfy. I won't be bored telling you how cool my campus is :p not to mention, the lecturers. they are all friendly. I love attending Miss Holly's Class and Bu Novi's Class. Still, I didn't get A in those classes, but just because I didn't get A, doesn't mean I am allowed to dislike the lecturers,right? miss holly and bu novi have same thing in common. they are more than just friendly. I knew I found difficulties in Calculus, but I was so excited attending the class. Bu Novi always knows how to make the class enjoyable.
there was one thing that I won't forget, no matter how suffering I am, if I am not hospitalized, I have to attend every class and not to be absent. well, I was once sick. yeah, in Semester 1, I was too often suffered from the same thing, digestive system problems hahah. and when I was soooo weak I couldn't even wake up from my bed, it turned out there was a quiz. and..... due to my absence, I was given 0 in the quiz. and it affected my final grade. yeah, couldn't get A wakakak. eh don't get me wrong, I am not that kind of person, that is soooo crazy about getting A. I mean, I know my weaknesses, so I won't demand too much to myself.

it's me and Arie on the night when we attended MBAKMI 4. MBAKMI is an annual event held by BEM Universitas Bakrie when all UB-ers can present/show their talents: arts,crafting,etc. MBAKMI is also cool! you guys should attend it later on December this year!
Arie is a good friend among others in UB. we often go anywhere together. we took the same UKMa in campus. we talked about many things. we hang out. she's a good listener and a good friend to talk with, at the same time. she's the newly elected leader of HMTI UB or Himpunan Mahasiswa Teknik Industri Universitas Bakrie.
one among many things I like from her is that she almost never easily panic over something. whenever I am panic and ask her, "rie, lo udah ngerjain pr ini belum?" she simply answers it "ya belooom laaaaah" haha you guys should meet arie someday!
it was taken on arie's midnight surprise on her birthday. there were aan, tabita, kak farid, suha, deris, ade, and angga. tabita is also a good friend. for me, she is "cewek gendut terkurus I've ever known in college" haha she's not fat. but I don't know why she thinks that she is. she's beautiful. you guys also should meet her someday!
notice who's the boy? yak... he's Ade si bocah. haha he's not that bocah actually. he's not childish at all. it's just....Ade's so cute and I sometimes call him bocah hahaha the photo was taken on his birthday. tabita,me,arie and some other friends went to his kontrakan and gave him surprise. he was happy and excited. he said "Ade seneng banget. makasih yaa. ade gak tau harus ngomong apa lagi. Ade speedless". he said 'speedless' instead of 'speechless' =))
now we're talking about the UKMa I take in Universitas Bakrie. UKMa stands for Unit Kegiatan Mahasiswa. it's a kind of extracurricular activity in campus. I chose Ecomm (English Community) and EDS Bakrie (English Debating Society) as the concentration. the night before I joined the oprec (open recruitment) was a long night. I wanted to join. but I was told that they limited the recruitment of members. and I was soooo worried and afraid that I wouldn't be accepted. I even cried and said "udah ran, gamau ran. gamau malu-maluin. I'd rather not joining oprec than joining but get rejected by them raaan. other participants are outstanding" but then I was accepted at the D-day.
EDS has brought me so many experiences. not only on building and training my debating skill but also making me experience the strong bonding within EDS' members. Fyi, since April, I always have my saturday night with EDS. after regular practice, or even just having a lil chit chat with them.
the second photo was taken in Purwoketo. I was in a team with Okta (the one with purple shirt) and ka Andrew was with Ranitania. both team managed to be the quarterfinalist of the tourney. that was also my very first experience being quarterfinalist eheheh. until now, I don't know why, no I guess I know why, I feel like being with family. yaaa, this thing is not that so-called-family that when you feel like you're 'just' close to someone then you call them family. it is beyond that. maybe I --and other members as well-- feel the sense of belonging. Ka Andrew (President EDS) is a good guy. he can imitate other accents haha and that's so funny. he's our Bruno Mars who is often too busy doing his business :( Ka Rangga is surely like a brother. he cares about us (2012 batch: me,rani,arie,okta. or sometimes called EDS Bakrie's chibi chibi), ka rangga is also ngangenin that when he skipped practice, we miss him haha. ka eyi is also caring. she is nice. we often took photos using her ipad and camera360. haha "Magic skiiiiiin!! aah magic!!" the sentence is always coming out like that whenever we take photos. Ka Fia (Presiedent ecomm) is also nice. she's beautiful. and smart. and awesome. and stunning. aaah ka fia you're so adorable!
see the books? those 7 books are the books I used in taking 7 clasees. EAP 2, Probability Theory, Economics, Calculus 2, Basic Physics 1, Engineering Drawing and last but not least...Algorithm and Programming. well, seriously, I don't think I had done my best effort during semester 2. I mean, I played around too often. but time has passed. nothing's left to be regretted.
In this semester I also met Bu Novi in Probability Theory. she is still as friendly as she was in semester 1. the way she gives lecture in class is also enjoyable.
this guy is a Balinese. his name is Anggara. but we often call him Angga. after joining kaderisasi, and HMTI UB gets its new leadership cabinet, Angga now becomes the head of Departemen Akademik dan Penalaran. guess who am I there? his secretary. I've ever worked with angga before, in Velocity II. and it surely is an honor to work again with Angga. he's a good guy after all. he also is a good friend in Universitas Bakrie. I hope later, during our time in Departemen Akademik dan Penalaran, there won't be any disappointment coming because of me. Angga is too kind to experience any disappointment hehehe.
now, I'm done. I'm no longer a freshman. although for me, being a freshman is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and I get so many experiences, there were also flaws, rejections, and other not-so-positive things coming. things could have been better, if I managed to balance them. but then again, things could also have been worse than they were. so then I think, instead of regretting every unexpected bad things, I'd better be grateful for every single things I've passed and take those things as lesson learned.
Sophomore? I wish I can make a great one!
