Struggling

 

        In February 2019, I began my second semester with 17 SKS (course credits), sufficient for the master’s degree level, especially for those who came from different faculty. Presentations, essays, and one practicum already waiting, therefore there was no time to relax since the presentation and essay tasks were worked individually. Making a presentation and essay with journals as references were difficult, moreover plant pathology was new for me, and there were numerous terms in the journal that I didn’t understand. Furthermore, the journal used English and my English was poor, it was completely driving me dizzy.

        In this semester, I joined FOST that I never expected before, but fate brought me to FOST. Honestly, I distaste all things about physical exercise, but I did badminton with members FOST, although, after it, my body felt crushed. Another one, when all members of FOST were busy, this condition forced me to learn how to create posters and videos for the event in FOST. Responsibility as one of the head divisions was driving to take up those. Nevertheless, I was grateful for becoming part of FOST and met various characters from various majors.

        At the end of the semester, I faced eight subjects in my final examination. All the subjects were difficult, but molecular plant pathology was a terrible subject for me. After one week, the final examination finished, but I felt that I didn’t maximal in my final examination. If I contemplated my capability, I hesitated with my answer. Surprisingly, I obtained a temporary GPA of 3.93 this semester. Getting a miracle result, I kind of thought perhaps there was an angel who replaced my answer with the correct answer.
