Notes at the End of an Odd Semester

Hi, blog readerssss…..!
Long time no post, I miss you so much…..

Anyway, welcome to 2017!
I know…it’s so damn late to say New Year greeting. It’s already the end of January, but, I’m still wanna say it.

Well, the reason for barely post is no other than my busy at college.
If it doesn’t make sense for you, okay. It doesn’t matter. You may think that I just make an excuse.

Talkin’ bout college life as lecturer, let me share some things relate to it.
This month is the last month for this semester. It means that I have to complete all my responsibilities that I’ve been in charged in.

In this odd semester, I had eight classes to be handled, four classes of freshman, two classes of sophomore, and two classes of junior. And, I made it in two days.


16th January was the last day of lecturing. As lecturers, we’re asked to finish our lecture in fifteen meeting. I myself had tried to finish it before the deadline. I gave lecture twice in a week for every course. All my students also agreed with that. They made it as my expectation. As a result, they had one free week without lecture in campus. Actually, that’s time fo’ them to study hard before dealing with final test.

Due to the hectic lecturin’, I made myself came to the tiredness a lot. Every Monday and Tuesday, I spent my time in college all day long. Headin’ campus in the early morning and back to home in the evening had brought me to the horrible headache. The worst thing, it forced me to eat painkiller every time I got it. That’s the only way for me. I couldn’t do anything if I didn’t. I had been addicted of a headache painkiller.

Time flies and we came to the last week of January. The schedule of final test was 24-30th of January. I’m not a final test committee, but I kept coming to campus as volunteer. I did everything I can. I supervised final test in some classes whenever I was needed. Actually, that’s the responsibility for every lecturer to be supervisor of their course but some of them couldn’t make it. Maybe, it caused by some intolerable reasons and I needed to replace them.

Final test ended and I came to the hard-time.
Why did I say so???


Yeah,,,
As a lecturer, I had to check all of the students’ final test, calculated their score for the whole semester including assignments score, mid-test score, final-test score and even their class participation. Before comin’ to the decision, I had to consider their presence in my lecture, too. Whether they’re diligent or lazy students.

I myself was one of an objective lecturer. I made it in very clear report. I even tried to put aside my mercy in givin’ the score. I remember one day when my professor said to never see the name while you give score to the students. And, I kept it in my mind, forever.

But, whenever the students popped in my face, I was speechless. Their expression was such a pity. I didn’t know what to do. Whether I remain silent or gave my mercy.

I knew…
Last semester, I gave some “T” score that made me called in many times by my super-ordinate. But, still…I’ve no right to give them the best as long as they still do or try nothing.

What a really really complicated thing!

Spend Weekend in Sunset Rumah 40 Villa & Resto, Boneoge

Midday View of Sunset Rumah 40 Villa & Resto, Boneoge - Donggala Time flies so fast. I’ve been staying here for more than 2 years. Yeah, I’m not the local here. I come and stay here for work. If you ask me, “What do you do for a living?”, the answer is “I’m in teaching.” Being a practioner in Education like lecturer, I’m full of works. Many others think that lecturer will be on holiday on the semester break, but FYI it’s not happened on the reality. Semester break is only for students, not lecturers. Final test correction, BKD report, lesson plan, and research proposal are to do lists of lecturers in January. To deal with those activities, of course, I have to be smart in time management. So, I can do relaxation at the end of the month, before coming to the next semester. Unexpectedly, Anna Rufaida, my friend in Tadulako University who works as an operator staff in Language and Art Education Department, invited me to join in her travel plan to Boneoge, Donggala. After knowing whoev

Bits and Pieces of My Life: Hustle Culture and Multitasking

Have you ever heard about hustle culture and multitasking? Hustle culture is a person mentality who thinks work as everything above all. For them, work all day long every day is a must, for the sake of professionality. Until some of them end with burnout - exhaustion of physical or emotional strength or motivation usually as a result of prolonged stress or frustration of work. Sometimes, they are also multitasking - the ability to do multiple tasks at one time. Why do I talk 'bout this?   Hmm...I'm going to share about my activity recently ( in the last three months ).  After re-reading my daily journal, I realize that the rhythm of my life is in contrary with my principle, which is slow living. What I do recently, shows that I'm in hustle culture and a multitasking woman as well. My weekend is always full of workshops or meetings, from one place to another, even from one hotel to another. That's why, some of my friends or colleagues commented by saying:  "

Story of My 18th August

08.18.16 My 26 th Birthday              Bulan Agustus kerap kali menjadi bulan yang paling saya nanti-nanti setiap tahunnya. Itu tidak lain dan tidak bukan hanya karena satu hal, yaitu hari kelahiran. Tiap kali, Bangsa dan orang-orang Indonesia usai merayakan Hari Kemerdekaan, saya pun kembali diingatkan dengan hari dimana saya pertama kali melihat dunia yang fana ini. Tiap kali hari itu datang, saya selalu dan senantiasa bersyukur karena masih dianugrahi umur yang panjang. Namun, di sisi lain, saya pun menyadari bahwasanya saya juga semakin dekat dengan kematian. Sebagaimana yang kita ketahui bersama bahwa kehidupan dunia itu fana. Dunia hanyalah tempat persinggahan bagi hamba-Nya, sekaligus tempat untuk menyiapkan bekal untuk kehidupan yang kekal. Dan, kehidupan yang kekal itu adalah akhirat.
