Raising Expectations

Wow, such a lazy writer I am. Period.

I wonder if the time spent would be a lesson to me or just something that flew away without any remarking. Now it is time to recall those memories. So here we go.

Well, earlier this year I was busy with the English Olympiad in the campus. I was the secretary of the committee. Well, it was an interesting experience though I had some secretary jobs before. Maybe because we invite high school students that made it a fresh challenge to me. We struggle for the preparation of this Olympiad in less than a month, imagine that; an event inviting high schoolers from the whole city in such a short time. The result was not bad, really. We got 61 participants and it didn’t look like some dull competition. A good one for a starter.

And on February I moved from Jalan Karya Bakti to Jalan Eka Rasmi, moving from one housemate to five. Then on the end of April we moved to Jalan Sisingamangaraja. You can tell how many story could happen around that amount of boys living in a house. Perhaps I can find one across my memory and write it soon.

Then there was that time around Ramadhan when I faced some problems at home and had no person to consult but myself. I didn’t show any sign of panic but it was truly one of the dark days I had had. What we harvest for that level of patience was beyond our expectation, a good degree of tranquility came along.

Then I went through this fifth semester in campus by doing a lot of things, including becoming a chief of the faculty’s student organisation; a tough responsibility.

But all and all I am happy with life. And I will do better with those experiences. I will become the best I can be. Amin.
