Time goes really really fast, buddy. It seems that it was just two months ago that I was admitted into ITB. But, well, age is indeed inversely proportional to the rate of time #PhysicsWizz
I thought that I am already the most ambitious student in the class, but apparently not. I did put a lot of effort though for the Physics final exam because I scored really bad on the mid-term exam. Aaandd it worked! I got my first A yeaaay! I am quite optimistic too that I will get an A for the calculus (my favorite subject evaah). Despite my screwed up quizzes, I know that I did my best for the final!
I do not really care much though on Chemistry, I will just let God handle it. Oh yeah, I have not told you that Rino the Metrosexual is substituted with someone who is not necessarily metrosexual (he is old) but he is indeed another vulgar one. Just recently, he talked about condoms, gays, etc. which are somehow related to chemistry, for him... Oh dear lord help me cope with this subject :(
Other subjects go just fine. I predict that I will get B on Sports, get AB or perhaps A in writing, A in PTI, and immeasurable score in a fairytale, unfathomable, and useless subject: PRD. I really hope that I will obtain a GPA of 3,7+, hopefully 3,8+.
I have abandoned all of my extracurricular units. All the blames should be directed to SEF for rejecting me :( After I had been rejected, I joined GMUN and URO. GMUN was so boring that I do not think I will enjoy being a member there. URO was actually very fun: I am really interested in logic gates, resistors, etc. The competition of making a line-follower robot was very enthralling! Nonetheless, academic compelled me to not take part in the unit anymore. I could not stand to the fact that it still conducted sessions in the trio-hardcore-science final exam week... GPA is only once in a lifetime and sessions could have another time :( Maybe I will join URO again next year.. if I am not busy either lol. I hope that I will join the ARC unit, because, if not, I am going to be unitless forevah...
I think the first semester was quite nice. I hope the second semester would be even far better!

College Life
The big war has ended. Failures and rejections I have accosted, and finally, I am an undergraduate freshman at one of the most prestigious university in Indonesia: Bandung Institute of Technology!
I was not really happy at first. The NTU and NUS rejections often lingered in my mind. It seems that the dreams had shattered into pieces. Yeah, maybe this quote is right: "The higher the dream is, the more painful the failure will." Nevertheless, life must go on. I am very grateful that I still have friends and parents who are loyal and supportive. I'm not the only one who failed at life; others are even worse. Studying in the best university in my own country is perhaps the best gift from god.
I have to say that the guys here are really nice. Most lecturers are very experienced and profound although my Chemistry teacher is literally a... shit. I sometimes however miss my previous life; I usually hang out with girls, but not in college. Learning in the Electronical Engineering and Informatics faculty, we men are out of girl stocks. I'm quite happy on stepping on this life phase. It's not really as great and crazy as the high school era, but maybe as the time goes, everything will be better :).
Despite of being the only muslim, I'm very happy to have current-best friends who are all Christians, mostly Batak. It was never been this diverse; clearly, ITB shows a good toleration between its members. They even do not hesitate to convince me to do afternoon prayer, which I actually appreciate but I rarely do that lol.
The lecturers' eccentricities are interesting. I think I will remember all of these guys. You will meet Pak Wono, which is considered as the most divine calculus lecturer. He always remembers the guys who do not finish their homework, later calling them by which cities they come from. For example, if you are from Cirebon, you will be called Cirebon all the time until you finish the lesson. In contrast with Wono, you will also meet Pak Fourier (or Foye). No one could beat his calamity and brilliance. There is also a somehow metro-sexual chemistry lecturer, Pak Rino. Not only bulky, he always shows off his Apple gadgets, comprised of MacBook, iPad, and iPhone. Though initially the girls adored him, they now hate him as he often talks bullshits and nonsense hahaha.
There are a lot of surprises. You may be shocked at first, you will later get along easily. And for incoming undergraduate students, I wish you the best for the upcoming admissions!
