Time flies and its time to sum up my first year in uni.
July, I got into uni and started my uni life with an awful week of uni orientation which means nothing but a waste of time and a week of mental and physical torture.And then there was another week of law school orientation, and this one, i think it was a more useful one.It teaches us, as a newbies in law school, and an infant in law career, a great lesson. Think a thousand times before you talk, especially when talking to someone senior, or not so close. And it introduced to us the tradition of seniority in law school, which i think, it is a barrier which we could never cross in senior-junior relation. And also the formality in legal field, perhaps a tradition of centuries, which we could never change.
After a few weeks of being a dumb newbie in law school, i'm but striving hard to learn law, which i knew nothing about it before, and having fun and a lot of lessons in joining activities. Interviews, which taught me how you're doomed when a senior who doesn't like you and lucky you that she/he is in the board of interviewers that you could never get any post from the interviews that she is in the board. Yes, that's the tradition of seniority which i should face, which maybe will last like forever until i'm working.
And welcome to the world of back and white!
Law Career Convention was the first activity in law school that i joined. It was a great experience and exposure to a lot of people practicing law. And it shows me the faces of the hated lawyers, typical hated lawyers. But nonetheless, i still got to know some who are nice and friendly.
Uni-Edu Book Fair, the first university level activity that i joined. It's nice that i get to know a lot of people by joining this activity. But also, it taught me a great lesson of dirty political tactics behind the organizing committee. It was harsh, but right, that's how dirty and cruel the reality is, and that's the day that i knew that i'm no longer a small girl in high school, that i knew, not everyone that you thought they are nice is indeed nice, that i know none in this world that worth my 100 percent trust, maybe.
And a lot of activities that gave me chance to meet a lot of people from the another country. International exposure, as one of the baby steps towards gaining maturity. --ALSA events, student exchange program--
Debates, which i got involved in by coincidence since the first orientation week, and somehow i stayed. I learned a lot of skill in speaking, technically, debating. I met a lot of people outside, which is a good exposure to the outside world. And also, seniority and dirty tactics that people use to gain trust and good names.But as I always believed, as long as you did nothing bad, people cant ruin you anywhere, and at the end of the day, they will be the one who ruined themselves, when they tried so hard to put people down, out of jealousy.
Study Trip to Korea, that one week is probably the most enjoyable, the happiest week throughout this year. There's no word that i can use to describe that week, but really,it is an unforgettable week of my life. I still fall into the hole of sweet memories whenever i look back to the pictures.. =) Thats the first time, i see snow in my life, and the first time i get to know a lot of people, from 9 different countries.. Its an incomparable memory--
Buddy,this is probably the most mysterious thing in this whole year. I got a guy, who probably is the most muscular guy in law faculty and another girl, a beautiful and smart girl as my buddy. even though my buddy line isnt a glamorous one, nor it is a complete line with a buddy in a different year. But im satisfied, because these two that i got are nice. But after one and a half semester, my buddy gone missing. With no even a single strand of information or message, he just left like that, no even some symptom before he left. And now, i hope for nothing but his return at the beginning of next semester, though some people kept telling me that he's not coming back. But still, i hope and i pray for his return. It would be a great lost, if a good, nice and selfless buddy like him, just leave like that.
Love life, its quite a happening year. I went to dates, I considered a few times, but at the end, i still put an end to every single possibility of getting another half of mine, in my life. Maybe the mr. right is just not here yet. And i'm happy and satisfied with my status quo now. So why drag myself into these sort of troubles. I might have hurt someone, because of my selfish, childish and silly decision. My sincere apologies to them. But still, i couldnt find the key to unlock the door, to open my heart to someone i think worth it, after what i've witness myself, and what happened to my own self. I hope it wouldnt result to a great mistake from what i've done.
Friends, no to forget, all the happy and funny moments i've spent with my friends!
I think, and some people tell me, that i;ve changed, matured, and.. tougher... lets celebrate for the transformation of this girl
to this
All in all, I enjoyed my uni life and i love it. It is one of the most enjoyable period in my life. And I believed, there will soon be an end of the dark days, and here comes the bright, happy chapter of my life. I have everything now, i have a good life, a bright future ahead, good friends, and a very very supportive and loving family. I appreciate all these, and i should love myself more, so that, all these that i have, can be more meaningful than they already are.
Lets hope for a better year ahead for next two semesters, and enjoy my long break. =)
