Today I'm going to post about my Matriculation before I got orientation and officially studying in President University.
1st Week:
8th August, where we had welcoming ceremony before we start our matriculation. In the ceremony, we're introduced to the rector and vice rectors, deans of every faculty and head of every study program. After the ceremony, we also had some seminars which is boring as hell -_-
I was doing good with my first day, but I had some problem with finding food here, it's so expensive and yet not delicious.
Next day, first day of matriculation, I wasn't amused with my room, because I got B306, which means my class room would be on building B, third floor, room 6, and that means I had to climb the stairs everyday until the end of matriculation! When I arrived at the front of the room, I found some people who was belongs in the same group as me, group 23. There are about 20 people in my room. I didn't really like them actually, they made some gangs, and one beside me was rude-talking kind of person. But I really like the lecturers because he was nice and kind and also let us play games everyday.
First week is really hard for me actually, because some first day we had an event called Reflection of 9 Value which was so tiring that made us had to join the activity until 7 PM. I was crying because this is my first time living and studying far from home (read: out of my hometown) and also I felt really tired and confused, and I still couldn't find the food that fit with me.
Also my roommate back then, she had a problem with her parents especially her mom. Her mom insisted to make her to go to STTD (kind of government university that fielding in ground transportation) if she passed the last phase test. But she didn't want to. She had a real big fight with her mom in our room which shocked me and annoy me really hard. And in Friday, the test result came out and actually she passed. She had another argue with her mom that morning until she gave up and resigned from President University. That Friday we said good bye, and I went to my mom's rent to sleep over. FYI, my mom was accompanying me in first month in case I still need anything.
2nd Week:
This week too, I was still crying everyday because I felt so tired and still, cannot find the right food. My parents told me to be strong. Until one day, one of senior that help me in my moving day in dormitory met me again in front of campus and asked me if I want to have lunch, I agreed and we went to somewhere near the campus but not Citywalk, the food is so-so, but it's cheap, and the omelet was good actually. I really thanked because of that. And then I asked her if I can get out from dorm next semester (in President University every student is obligated to live in dormitory for 1 year or 3 semesters). And then she accompanied me to the marketing office to talk about it with the marketing. They told me they would try if it was allowed. After some days, what I got only disappointment, time wasting, and rejection. I made a letter about going out from form for next semester, went to meet the head of marketing secretary, went back to marketing office, and what I got is only rejection! Haa! :')
I was crying, and my mom told me to be strong because it's only 1 year. For me, for an introvert like me, it's a LONG time. But glad my roommate already gone so I can be alone (for a while only).
3rd Week:
Last week of matriculation, I already got used to the food and live in here. I rarely crying for now. Until my new roommate came. She just came and moved here, so she didn't attend the matriculation and must attend it next year. My first impression on her was, she must be an all modern and stylish nowadays kids, which is I don't like and not my type. She was put with me because of same religion and major. If only she didn't choose accounting...
She is not very tidy, she also use the electricity extravagantly which make me not comfortable. But naahh.. I've got to hold on. Wish me luck TT_TT
Last day of matriculation, 26th August, we had TOEIC Test. The listening part wasn't really clear, so I got a so-so score because of that.
Conclusion: When matriculation, it made me think all things that I have never think about when I was in my hometown living with my parents. And it make me must survive and struggle by myself. My future is in my hand. I must never give up whatever the situation, I must change, I must improve myself.
For you all that want to ask about the detail of matriculation activity you may comment~ :3
Thank YOU!!
