okay,this is a short post of my blog for this week. I have to summarize these few day happenings, because tomorrow I will have a week trip to singapore. Wish to meet my friends there.Before I leave for my trip, I have finished 50% of my university registration and whatever things i should settle with.
lately,I realized that it's not easy to enter a university, difficult to study there, and more difficult to graduate from the university.
Last few days I went to a club of my university. It's one of the most important club i should follow to support my study there. Most of the club's members are Buddhist, but all of them come from different faculties. But one thing I can ensure is that all of them are Chinese. That's why it's called Chinese community. They can help you to settle the so-called 'cultural shock' and to adapt with the university life. If you go to government university, you'll find out that most of the students are Indonesian and you'll hardly find Chinese as it's just a minority there.. In the club, I got my first task, I have to make list of all the members in that club followed by their telephone,facebook account, twitter account, sign, etc. I think there are hundreds of senior and friends i have to find. oh noo.. i have to finished that asap. hope that I can settle it down before 24th July.
My senior are divided into some groups, depending on the year they entered the university. The longer they study in university, the more respects the got from their juniors. In my faculty,the most important thing you should learn is to make yourself as friendly and as nice as possible. There are various kinds of people there. From the crazy ones, wicked ones,and ones who love to tease you. Because my brother has been in the faculty for some years, I can recognize some of my seniors and make friends with them. Some of them gave me good impressions - Stef (2008), she is so kind to me ; Prawira, a nice guy who loves to joke so much ; Dickson, a friendly guy. Everyone knows him, but he loves to tease people or even make joke on someone,I think he is one of my "good" friend's cousin. Most of them are my direct seniors who have the responsibilities in welcoming us, freshmen. So we have to be good to them if we want to feel safe to study there.
Before I start my study, I have to follow a welcoming program from my senior (it's an orientation usually). This orientation is a three-day-activity. Within 3 days, I have to go to uni early in the morning and I have to wear whatever my seniors asked us to. It's quite terrible. My brother and sister told me that i probably have to eat smelly things, to roll around on the floor, to climb tree, to sing, to catch frog and I will be scolded even if I don't do any mistakes. But luckily, they may not do physical harm to me. they have to keep my life safe. the only thing they can do is to torture freshmen mentally.
Okay, my orientation will be held in the late august. oh noooo.. hope i can pass it!
