Thailand, Second Day

Thursday, 23 May 24, 2013

Shocking fact that if student want to get their master degree in a year, they should take Individual Studies (IS) with comprehensive exam in the end. There was only one student who take thesis and able to finish in one year. And I was asking my professor, he said that maybe it took one semester more to finish. In my mind, I will do my best to take thesis because a lot of people in my office give me a spirit that I have to take thesis so I can get further degree. But the matter is not only about next degree, but in fact that I’m frightened of exams, moreover comprehensive exam. I’d rather choose thesis than comprehensive exam, but for consequences, I have a financial problem. My contract with office is only one year program. Dear God, please help me to decide so I am able to move on confidently with satisfying result.

Thailand, the Beginning

Wednesday, 22 May 2013

Early morning…

Wake up early, last preparation. I feel my heart can’t stop jumping, just kept thinking that I have to pass it in a year and I’ll be back soon with GPA min 3,50. (doing it just to make myself calm down, rather than worried)

07.30

Mb Sari and Lilia are coming. Go to the airport too early. I’ve said them that only took 45 minutes / maximum an hour from my dorm, but they insist that in case of traffic, we better to get there before we stuck in traffic. Last time I meet them, I hold them tight while crying. Garuda Indonesia fly at 12.45

16.15

Arrived in Svarnabhumi airport, wanna take picture but too shame. Hehe.. Such a huge airport so it take a long time to take my baggage. Not surprising, the toilet is a dry toilet. No water to splash.. Like in Mandarin oriental Hotel in Jakarta. Buy Thai Sim card, then leave the airport to Mabunkrong (MBK) by taxi. The driver can’t speak English so I can’t change my destination (suppose to be it easier to stop in Tesco Lotus Banthadthong road).

19.00

Indonesian student came to pick me up in MBK after I’m waiting for about one and a half hour. Walking from MBK to the Suwanna Apartment. Dinner in KFC, get free ice water. See location for orientation tomorrow.
