Power Points and Slides

As you read the title above, I'm now in the middle of the week of exams and my week is very full of the presentations formatted in ppt (Power Point) and each ppt consists about 100 slides (averagely). Additionally the total amount of presentations I have to read and of course, MEMORIZE, is more than 25 files. Well, I don't care about others whether they say it's very common for medical students, but as for me:

IT'S KILLING ME

DIE

SO DEAD

!!!!!!!!!!!!

It really drives me crazy and mad that I have to study too much this way. However, if you know me very well, I'm kind of person that actually will simply neglect my troubles (in this case: exams) so that I won't study almost at all. I don't want to care about the exams but I will still try to make some 'miracles' so that the result (marks thingy) I'll have won't be that bad (sometimes good). Sounds inconsistent, eh? Okay, all I want to say is that I may not care about the exams and the matters I have to master, but I do still care about the result I'll have then. And once more, it's not such a good personality I have. Whatsoever.

Skip it!! I actually would like to tell about other stories which is irrelevant to the title above (like I care). There are AMSA (Asian Medical Students Association) thingy, SEF (Student English Forum) stuffs, and others. As for me, a couple of days lately were so wonderful, joyful, sad, and inspirative (many mixed contradictive feelings, though).

Let's start from AMSA (I know it's gonna be a very long post)

Am so glad the "Welcoming Party" in Waroeng Jadoel (Friday, March 4th 2011) worked very well. Not so many participants, but it can be called a success, though. I was the MC there, anyway (hohoho). At the first time, I thought those who came wouldn't be very either respectful or enthusiast. But, in fact, the opposites of my pessimism was what actually happened. I think I even successfully maintained for that the participants paid attention to some crucial things of AMSA itself. The best of all is that I finally could assure them (through some methods including testimony from AMSA's seniors and FAQ) that AMSA was all about having fun, precious experience, and making a friendship and big family.

Anyway, I wasn't the only MC there. My friend, Shinta, also was the MC along with me.

Additionally, I also succeeded to persuade and encourage my friend to want to be the next representative of AMSA UNS. Anyway, Representative is like the chair person of each Local AMSA. She at last wanted to be for some reasons that I don't care (hahaha). All I know is that, she is ambitious person, she has perfectionist personality, she is smart and diligent, she has courage to lead people. That's why at the very first place I think she is one of good candidates to be the next Representative. Not to mention, but other friends and she joined AMSA because I also succeeded to convince them to do so. Once again, I used my ability called "PSYCHO-ANALYSIS" to convince them to join AMSA and to convince her to promote herself to be the next Representative.

For some reasons, I think my 'that ability' is quite unfair because people won't realize and recognize when I 'play' with their mind and personality. But I think it's the most effective way to achieve our goals, well, as long as they are not bad goals.

Furthermore, on Tuesday (March 1st 2011) my friends and I (4 people of AMSA members) accompanied 3 girls medical students from Japan (they're also AMSA members in Japan). Honestly, they are so kawaii (cute) hahaha (no wonder, they're Japanese anyway). They visited Indonesia to have a little tour for their holiday in order to wait for announcement of their national medical examination in Japan (the examination is to have license to be a doctor). Yes, they are older than me, maybe about 5 years older. We had dinner at Pondok Jawi and then took some pictures in Solo Baru. Nothing much but it was a lot of fun. We had some conversations and guess what, they said that only OTAKU who watched anime and knew about anime songs. I was kinda surprised. However, they were also surprised that I could tell some Japanese words and sentences like "UNAGI", "Chotto Matte Kudasai", "Mata Ne", and many others (which in Indonesia it's very common actually among anime/manga/tokusatsu/J-song lovers). They said they didn't watch anime, they didn't know some popular songs of anime's soundtrack, and they said that my friend and I were OTAKU. Finally we said goodbye as we took them to the hotel because it was already late night.

Okay I'll mention some names about AMSA thingy I've told above.
My friend who wants to be the next Representative is Avamira Rosita (Mira).
Our current Representative is Maytia Pratiwisitha (Tita).
The four others who accompanied the AMSA students from Japan were Justinus Kurniabudhi Novarianto (Justinus), Shinta Andi Sarasati (Shinta), the current Representative, and the Representative from 2005, Sri Mulyani (Yani).
The three Japanese medical student girls are Yu Son (Yu) Yaspi, and Kanako. (Apparently only Yu who has facebook account).

Anyway, Justinus also wants to be the next Representative, and as for me he is also worth it. That's why I've been quite confused since the Welcoming Party about who I'll give my support and help to design work programs. Moreover, both Mira and Justinus are my best friends here. I just can't be decisive in this case.

That's all from AMSA thingy. Maybe later I'll post some photos about the story of AMSA above.

Next is about SEF stuffs, but I'm way too lazy to continue. Maybe later I'll tell it in another post, but just not now. I still have to study, however. At last this post is not gonna be as long as I imagined and thought before (but I know it's pretty long).

Once again, I know that most part of this post is not relevant with the title. Sorry if this bothers you, but lately I'm quite sloppy because of the exam and SEF stuffs (which I will tell you later in my next post about this SEF stuffs).

Anyway, since when have I become so repetitive this way? #random
