Awkey, so now everybody who reads my blog thinks that I’m just doing shopping, traveling, and all that exciting stuff here. Well guys, u’re not fully wrong (grinned) so I think I have to make a clarification about that. That’s why I wrote this post, yes, to ensure that everybody does not judge me for having only-shopping-activities here ..hihihii.. So, actually guys, instead of enjoying each day of my life here, I also have to face the reality of being student. That means (tons of) assignments, (bunch of) exams, and classes of course.

U know what? Actually, that reality is fun!! Why? That’s because I have a completely different environment here. Somehow, that makes me become a slightly different person that I used to be.  I have classmates from all different countries in the world: Netherlands, China, Turkey, Spain, Bulgaria, Romania, etc. Well I also have classmates from Indonesia though. I have to be able to communicate and cooperate with them even though some teachers prefer to have all EXISTENTE students in one group.

However, being an EXISTENTE student really puts a burden in me and the other’s shoulder. Since EXISTENTE stands for EXCELLENT International Students Entering Technical Education [notice that EXCELLENT word?], every teacher expects us to be EXCELLENT in class.  And that means we have to participate actively in class discussion, make excellent report, develop well-done project, etc. For me, it is a challenge! A challenge to proof that Indonesian student can also stand out among international students. And thanks for the help from a really nice new friend of mine, another side of me that supports my eager desire to beat the challenge has come out. And special thanks also for the word perfectionism. I’m in love with that word.

So I am the new me. Truly madly deeply in desire to challenge myself, I am ready to face any circumstances. And when someone says ‘Good Job’, then that really put a smile on my face.
