#272 - Thursday and FRS

ENGLISH

As you can read at my previous entry, yesterday I went back to Bandung catching Argo Wilis Express from Surabaya bounding for Bandung, via Yogyakarta. It arrived at Yogyakarta pretty late, at 11.50 AM because there was a train accident between Yogyakarta and Solo (Argo Lawu Express from Solo to Jakarta via Yogyakarta). Well, then it departed from Yogyakarta at 12.05 PM, 30 minutes late from the schedule. FAST FORWARD. Well, yesterday was Thursday where TARA's newest episode would be aired at 8 PM. I hoped it would arrive at 7 PM (maximum time) so I would have enough time to go to my boarding house and watched it. Well, apparently, it was not!! It checked in at Bandung Railway Station at 7.30 PM. Arrrggghhh.... . Ok, I said to myself: "You are not gonna make it, just watch the first rerun at 12 AM". So, I got a taxi and went to my boarding house, then I looked at my watch. It was 7.50 PM!! Wow.... . So, I arrived at my room at exactly 8 PM!!! Yaaaayyy.... . I could watch TARA

Last episode, all teams were equalized at the Railway Station to go to New Delhi, India. There would be a "YIELD" ahead. All teams except Andy&Laura seemed to make an alliance to yield Andy&Laura... :) After arriving at New Delhi and went to the Red Fort, Sandy&Francesca arrived first and yes, they yielded Andy&Laura. Andy&Laura had to wait until all sand in the hour-glass ran down. The next task was Detour, team had to choose between "Deliver" or "Donkey". In Donkey, teams would have to transport onions using a donkey and walk it to the stall to receive their next clue. In Deliver, teams would have to carry sacks of spices and deliver them to a spice shop which they only have a picture for reference. The next task was Road-Block (Dung Cake). In Road-Block, one team member from each team had to carry pails of cow manure and then use it to make Dung Pies by adding water and sticking them onto the wall. If they drop, teams would have to re-do that one. Even though Andy&Laura got yielded, they could catch up. Zabrina&Joe-Jer were last so far. After finishing Road-Block, Andy&Laura got it difficult to get a taxi, and this turned their position. Zabrina&Joe-Jer overtook them. So, at the pitstop, the final order: Sandy&Francesca (1), Mardy&Marsio (2), Andrew&Syeon (3), Zabrina&Joe-Jer (4), and Andy&Laura (5 >> ELIMINATED. Whatta pity, I always think they are one of the strongest teams from the top 6 and could win the USD 100k prize).

This morning, I went to my campus to go on FRS (consulting with my academic counselor). Before that, I found my first semester score: GPA = 3.89 (arrrggghhh....). Why "arrgghhh...."? Look below:
- Calculus 1. UAS score: 100. Final score: 92. Category: A
- Elementary Linear Algebra. UAS score: 85. Final score: 89. Category: A
- Elementary Statistics. UAS Score: 100. Final Score: 96. Category: A
- Elementary Statistics Worklab. UAS Score: 90. Final score: 88. Category: A
- Micro Economics. UAS Score: 89. Final score: 90. Category: A
- English. UAS Score: 94. Final score: 93. Category: A
- Religion. UAS Score: 75. Final score: 78. Category: B >> ARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!

Well, that sucks!!! I mean, the only subject which I don't get A is only Religion, it was an MKU (General Subject, out of my main major subjects)... :( Well then, I took 22 sks (credits) for my 2nd semester. Actually I could take 24 subjects but I have taken 2 MKUs and if I take one more MKU, that will be pretty hard and distract my concentration. Plus, I can't take any subject for 4th semester of 6th semester since I haven't taken the required subjecta to take those subjects.

Btw, I still have 1 week holiday, and tomorrow I'm going back to Yogyakarta catching Argo Wilis Express departing at 7 AM from Bandung.

Seperti yang bisa dibaca pada postingan sebelumnya, kemarin aku balik ke Bandung naik kereta Argo Wilis dari Surabaya tujuan Bandung via Yogyakarta. Kemarin sampai di Yogyakarta lumayan telat, jam 11.50 pagi soale ada kecelakaan kereta di antara Yogyakarta dan Solo (Kereta Ekspres Argo Lawu dari Solo tujuan Jakarta via Yogyakarta). Trus berangkatnya dari Yogyakarta otomatis juga telat deh, jam 12.05 siang, setengah jam telat dari jadwal. FAST FORWARD. Kemarin adalah Kamis dimana episode terbaru dari TARA disiarkan. Aku berharap sampenya selambat-lambatnya jam 7 malem la, jadi aku punya cukup waktu untuk balik ke kos dan nonton jam 8 malem. Tetapi ternyata, kemarin keretanya baru masuk Stasiun Bandung jam 7.30 malem. Arrrggghhh.... . Ok, aku ngomong ke diri saya sendiri: "Nggak akan berhasil deh, nonton rerunnya aja deh yang jam 12 malem". Jadi, aku manggil taksi dan pergi ke kos, trus aku liat jam tangan saya. Masih jam 7.50 malem!! Wow.... . Jadi, aku sampe kamarku tepat jam 8 malem!!! Yaaayyy.... . Bisa nonton TARA deh.

Di episode kemarin, semua tim menjadi seimbang di stasiun kereta api untuk pergi ke New Delhi, India. Akan ada sebuah "YIELD" di depan. Semua tim kecuali Andy&Laura kayanya membuat koalisi untuk menge-yield Andy&Laura... :) Habis sampe di New Delhi dan pergi ke Benteng Red Fort, Sandy&Francesca sampai duluan dan mereka menge-yield Andy&Laura. Andy&Laura harus menunggu sampai semua pasir di dalam jam pasirnya untuk jatuh ke bawah. Tugas selanjutnya adalah Detour dimana tim harus memilih di antara "Deliver" atau "Donkey". Di Donkey, mereka harus membawa bawang bombay naik keledai dan berjalan ke sebuah toko untuk mendapat petunjuk selanjutnya. Di Deliver, tim harus membawa 4 sak cabai mengantarnya ke toko cabai dimana mereka cuma punya gambarnya sebagai referensi. Tugas selanjutnya adalah Road-Block (Kue Kotoran). Di tugas Road-Block ini, satu anggota tim harus membawa beberapa ember berisi kotoran sapi dan menggunakannya untuk membuat "kue" kotoran dengan menambahkan air dan menempelkannya ke dinding. Kalo jatuh, harus ngulangi lagi. Andy&Laura walaupun di-yield tetep bisa mengejar. Zabrina&Joe-Jer yang terakhir sementara. Setelah menyelesaikan Road-Block, Andy&Laura kesulitan untuk mendapatkan taksi. Zabrina&Joe-Jer mendahului mereka, dan ini mengubah posisi. Posisi akhir di pitstopnya: Sandy&Francesca (1), Mardy&Marsio (2), Andrew&Syeon (3), Zabrina&Joe-Jer (4), dan Andy&Laura (5 >> TERELIMINASI. Sedih banget, aku selalu berpikir kalo mereka adalah salah satu tim terkuat yang tersisa dari 6 besar dan bahkan bisa menang hadiah 100ribu dollar loh).

Pagi ini, aku pergi ke kampusku untuk FRS (konsultasi sama dosen wali). Sebelumnya, aku menemukan bahwa IP-ku semester ini adalah: IP = 3,89 (arrrggghhh....). Kenapa "arrgghhh...."? Lihat di bawah ini:
- Kalkulus 1. Nilai UAS: 100. Nilai akhir: 92. Kategori: A
- Aljabar Linear Elementer. Nilai UAS: 85. Nilai akhir: 89. Kategori: A
- Statistika Elementer. Nilai UAS: 100. Nilai akhir: 96. Kategori: A
- Praktikum Statistika Elementer. Nilai UAS: 90. Nilai akhir: 88. Kategori: A
- Ekonomi Mikro. Nilai UAS:89. Nilai akhir: 90. Kategori: A
- Bahasa Inggris. Nilai UAS: 94. Nilai akhir: 93. Kategori: A
- Pendidikan Agama. Nilai UAS: 75. Nilai akhir: 78. Kategori: B >> ARRRGGGHHHH!!!!!!!

Menyebalkan sekali!!! Maksudku, satu2nya mata kuliah yang aku ga dapet A kan cuma agama, padahal agama tuh MKU (Mata Kuliah Umum, bukan mata kuliah utama jurusanku)...:( Trus kemudian, aku ngambil 22 sks untuk semester 2ku. Aku bisa sih sebenernya ngambil 24 sks tapi aku kan dah ngambil 2 MKU dan kalo aku ngambil MKU satu lagi, bisa jadi susah dan memecah konsentrasiku. Plus, aku masih blom bisa ngambil mata kuliah semester 4 atau 6 soale masih ada kuliah pra-syarat yang aku blom ikuti.

Btw, aku masih punya liburan seminggu lagi, dan besok aku balik lagi ke Yogyakarta naik Argo Wilis berangkat dari Bandung jam 7 pagi.
