GRADUATED !!!

Finally, the 45th generation has graduated!!!
I can't help laughing till drop
HAHAHAHA...

Trip to Parapat

Finally, it's free time. We went to Parapat for 4 days and 3 nights. We stayed in the Vanesha Hotel at Ambarita on the first night. Ambarita is located in Samosir Island. We need to take a ferry to get there. The journey takes about 1 1/2 hours. We moved to Parapat on the second day. We stayed in a cottage at the Niagara Hotel. It's such a great moment to gather with friends again after the school exams.

Great Victory on the Great Exam !!

Finally, we (the third-year students) had ended our National exam on April 24, 2008. I felt so relieved to be free from studies, free from pressure, and free from the burden stuck in my head. I feel just like someone who just got his freedom. The next thing I'll do is already on the list, which is to be productive during the school holiday: Learn Calculus, programming, and languages, and do the daily chores. I'll also hang out as usual. Staying home for such a long time has made me feel the difference this time. It is so boring! I feel like I want to go back to school to be with friends but it's not the time anymore. This is what we call "graduation". This is how it ended. It's time for us to go on our own way of life to search for the purposes of life. At last, be successful!

Trip to Universitas Sumatera Utara

What a nice trip today! We left Sutomo 1 for Universitas Sumatera Utara (University of North Sumatera) at 9:30 AM. Our purpose is to visit the library there. The library has 4 levels, with about 500,000 collections of books. You can get more information about Universitas Sumatera Utara (University of North Sumatera) at the official website. Here are some photographs that I have taken during our trip.

Graduation is getting near

Wow.. time passes so fast. It's still 2 weeks before the National exam. So quick. It feels like riding a time machine and moving twice faster than before. To celebrate this event, many of us (I and my friends) make our own diaries. Within a week, I had collected more than 50 diaries written for me, haha... That is because I use a fantastic method. I spread the diary papers to many people simultaneously.

In this and the next posting, I'll show some photos that I had captured during my days at school, of course, before graduation.

Back from Hibernation

What a great time I had had. I was busy all the time with books. Fiuuhh.. finally it's over now. But that doesn't mean I have got the free time. The National exam is waiting ahead and the final school exam is as well. Waa.. it seems like another great time is coming, haha... My comments about last semester's exam: Maths on the first day hmm.. Pretty good. Indonesian Language and Literature on the second day hmm.. Absolutely good. Chemistry on the third day, wow, extremely bad! It was the same with Physics on the fourth day, I got stuck in theory, actually, the English one. Then comes Biology hmm.. I was sure with 5 answers out of the total questions, it was terribly bad. The last one was Civics and English Literature, SO GOOD!

Busy, Busy, Busy

The semester exam is getting near! March 3-12. Wow, it's time to work hard oops... I mean to study hard. Moreover, the material for Biology is the whole book, wait a minute, it's about 10 chapters!!! ARRRGGGHHH!!! Go to heaven (sounds better than "Go to hell")!! After the semester exam, we'll have the National exam a.k.a UAN. This is the real final exam for us (third-year students). Starting this year, the material for the National exam has been added to 3 more subjects. There are Chemistry, Biology, and Physics. So, they make up a total of 6 subjects. ARRRGGGHHH again!!! Go to heaven!! I have never been so diligent so far. This time is the real final, it is the decisive moment.

Back in victory !!!

The result so far for this P2S1 competition: XII-IPA-6 (Teru Teru Bozu) a.k.a my lovely class got 2 Golds in News Reading (Indonesian language) Competition and Speech Competition by Andrew Darwitan, 1 Gold in the School Bulletin Board Competition, 1 Silver in News Reading Competition (English language) by Andrew Darwitan and 1 Bronze in Manga by Elvy. Wow! So nice, not bad. Congratulations to all of them.

Sudoku : Game Over

What a bad day! I just passed the 1st round out of 3 rounds. But it is okay, at least, I've learned something from that. Don't forget to congratulate me on being in the top 30 from a total of 96 participants. The first round was very easy. I just took a glance and filled in. The second round was quite difficult, not as easy as the first round. There were only me and Vannessa who represented XII-A-6 and both of us didn't pass, haha.

Computer 2nd Semester

First impression: So boring!! The feeling of being taught by Mr. B is really different from that of Mr. D. Mr. B is so clumsy. It's not surprising for me that my class is usually a hyper-active class and it became a less-active class on that day. Can u imagine that? Mr. B has successfully made a change. But it's not a good change because, on the first day, many of us felt sleepy, haha. It was so silent. We were studying in silence. It was so boring, haha.

No Physics Today

During today (Friday) and tomorrow (Saturday), all Physics teachers will be trained by teachers from Jakarta, so we don't have Physics class today. We don't go to school on Saturdays, except for those who take extracurricular activities. The first and second sessions were Mandarin, and we practiced pinyin. Then, in the Indonesian Language and Literature class, we jotted down some notes just to show that we were doing something, haha. For the Chemistry class, we also jotted some notes. Then, the Physics teacher didn't come, which meant that we had freedom for 2 sessions. Finally, 2 sessions of Biology, was such a sleepy moment. Huaaaahhh...

After holidays

Too many holidays make me difficult; difficult to wake up in the morning, difficult to write but it is easy to pass the day by day because of the activities I have every day. There is Math homework for today, and also singing homework. By the way, the spectacular event of P2S1 will be held soon on this month, haha. This is the most interesting moment because there will be competitions to prove whose class is the best.

Because I have my private Chemistry course today, so I will write a little bit about it. It starts with my teacher, Ross Erny. I have known her since the second year of high school. She is a quiet person who rarely smiles. She is actually a kind teacher but she seldom smiles. That's why we said that she has a "precious" smile. There's Tommy AW. Hmm... No comment. And there is Edbert (Piko), a very talkative boy, annoying but he is a good person. He always lives up to the party, haha. After that, there's Christy, a very funny girl. She always gets annoyed by us, haha. And the last one is Janice, a quite pretty girl, and a kind friend. Why is that so? Because she always shares her answers with me. Lucky me, haha

So Far So Free

Good news for these several days: no homework. Besides, no school day for the one who doesn't take the remedial exam. There are 3 days of remedial exam holiday, including 1 public holiday making a total of 4 perfect holidays. Well, these holidays don't mean being free at all because I have to review for the national exam.

Wireless Internet Connection School

It's a sunny day today. I was sitting in the school library, surfing on the Internet while waiting for the German language class. It was so nice. I wonder when I can get this wonderful facility after graduating from high school. As a matter of fact, I am very proud of my school being the first school in Medan that has a wireless internet connection. So cool! Haha. Low cost, high quality, good facility, friendly staff, nice teachers, everything good is there. That's Sutomo!

First Day of The First Month

Wow! It's a great day today. Only 47 out of 57 students came. The rest? No idea. They could be traveling, being lazy, going back to their hometown, being sick, etc. Freedom is still very obvious today, haha. For the 1st and 2nd sessions of the Mandarin lesson, we just read and wrote down the pinyin. The 3rd session was the Indonesian Language and Literature, we only jotted down some notes on the book. In the 4th session, we had Chemistry, it was truly FREEDOM! The 5th and 6th session was Physics, we did nothing besides chatting because our teacher, Aben, was busy with our data for the remedial exam. We've got a suitable slogan for him, which is "slow but sure", haha. In the last 2 sessions, we had Biology, it was boring and made people in the class sleepy. The teacher said, "Kalian itu di sini tinggal 4 bulan..saya minta rajin-rajin belajar! Kalian juga harus tau mao lanjut di mana, lanjut apa. Jangan kerjanya cuman main-main aja! Bukunya di baca! Ada yang gak ngerti di tanya! masuk bab baru nih?! Mutasi! Mutasi itu ... "
