Hoolaa peoplee..!! Long time no see hey. Oh, not that long i guess :D well as i said before, i wont be able to write here everyday but i'll make sure i won't leave this blog abandoned :D i'm in my break now.. Not particularly a 'break', i don't have class for the next 2 hours and i decided to spend a lil bit time writing something new here!
Well, the topic now is about school, and stuff.. Not actually the most interesting topic to be talked about, but this is why i'm here eh? I think some of the readers want to know how's school going here, especially my dad (if he reads my blog anyway haha)
Should i really call this a school? Nah i dont think so.. This place is not a school, this is a college. Don't know if some says school and college is the same, but for me it's different. I don't have to wear uniforms, I don't have fixed schedule, and there's no grading here (like grade 10, grade 11, etc.) so i don't think school is a proper word.
I have to take 2 buses to get here, one is bus 435 which destination is to the city, and from the city i have to walk a bit to catch the free bus called 'the spring hill loop'. I walk for like 3-4 mins from home to the bus stop called 'Greentrees East', then the bus will come and i get off at the queen street bus station, which is located 'under' the queen street mall.. usually the bus drop me off in platform B (I'll talk about platforms later!). Then I have to walk again to the other side of the street, where in front of Commonwealth Bank there's the bus stop for the free buses which departs every 10 mins. I live quite far from the college anyway, it takes me around 45 mins if there's no traffic (for the whole trip).i have LOTS of stuff to be shared related to bus, however, let's save that topic for my next post! ;)
Mind me saying this, but if im allowed to compare my previous school (where i go to for around 13 years) and this current place where i'm going to study for the next one year.. It's just completely DIFFERENT. Al Hikmah is.. Well you know, with its facilities, classes, fields, car parking, a very school-typical environment. This college i go to, it's a 7 story building, with a lecture theatre. For those who are expecting me to lose some weight after i come back from australia, don't be happy yet! I know it's a PERFECT place to do exercising by not using the lift and just take the stairs to go everywhere. But i'm insane if i have class in level 7 and i have to take stairs from level 1. I'm definitely gonna be dizzy! Anyway, instead of the high building, there are plenty lots of nice shops across the street and around, where i can buy tuna sandwich and cookies or chocolate bars and banana milk.. Mmmmmm! See how that 'balanced' all the energy i spent by having a moving class system? ;)
Hmm anyway, i have 5 subjects here. Math and english is compulsory, and i have the other 3 electives - i chose all science subjects because i have no idea what to do with accountings, economics, behavioural science (i believe it's called sosiologi in indonesia), or the other subjects. I won't be so careless to enroll in a class where i start from the zero point. It will affect my GPA oii.. Too risky!
i have a various schedule.. I will rather call tuesdays and wednesdays as 'busy days', thursdays as 'kindergarten day'. 'Busy days' is simply because my schedule is like from 9 to 5.30. The worst part is when the teacher ends the class 5.30 sharp, i have to running running (mblayu2 maksudnya) to catch the 435 bus back home, and the last bus departs at 6.15. If the teacher ends the class at 5.30 sharp, i cant take the 5.30 free bus since by the time i arrive at the stop, it will be already a few mins past 5.30. so the only option is waiting for the 5.40 bus or 5.55 bus. but see, it takes like 20 mins to get to the city, in case there's traffic. I always make prediction based on the worst possibility, so well.. without further explaination i bet you can imagine how suffering it is to be in race with the time!!
Well, about the subjects, i think i need to specify each subjects in different posts, so i can tell more details about what happens in each class.. now i owe you so much topic huh? haha. but that's worth it though :) i'm responsible to make every single time become memorable and lasts forever, so this is one way i can do..
I think i'm going to be free this weekend, so perhaps i will write more later.
Have a great evening, everyone!
