Bad Scholar's Diary

Oh, I'm so flattered with my bestfriend's comment in my last post. So flattered that I have to tell you now, haha. Thank you, Isma. I miss you.. here, have a kiss and hug from me. :*


Okay, as I promised, I'll tel you how my life is confusing right now. I think I've mentioned earlier that I really get bored to deal with Microbiology again. Here's a little story: my final project (and Fida)'s budget is supported by PT. Indofood. So, when I finished my thesis, they requested us to make a final report. Actually Mrs Dea is the one who asked to us directly. I thought it would take no big effort to make the report, since we only have to combine our thesis and make it one final report. Oh, and we have to make a journal too, a scientific journal to be published in JMS (Journal of Mathematics and Science).
Then, Mrs Dea reviewed our journals, thoroughly, and said,


"I think it has to be modified, here look, when the ratio of bacteria is less than yeast, you should explain why did the yeast grow slower, even didn't exist. And also the conclusion. It has to be a connection between the microbe's growth and the best tauco that produced. Which tauco is the best should be a combination among those factors you wrote in discussion here. Find some literature to explain that."


And I was like: "WHAT? I SHOULD MODIFY MY 'RESULT AND DISCUSSION'? AGAIN? NOT A CHANCE. I FORGET WHAT I DID IN FINAL PROJECT. WHAT IS BACTERIA?"


Of course I yelled it to myself. I was well-behaved in front of Mrs Dea and said nothing but agreement to her. I like her actually, the clever-one-but-not-so-geeky lecturer.


Then I modified the 'result and discussion' in my thesis. Just opened my very first page of the thesis, I yawned. And then I read sentences by sentences, I fell asleep...and wake up, sleep, wake up again, very inconvenience. Oh God, that was very boring. Mrs Dea asked me to find some more literature. Since I'm very lazy to think about it again, I put any numbers that resembles with the problem. I don't care which Rhodotorula I looked up in the internet, the important thing is my thesis is modified and is added some new information. That's a bad scientist.


But then, all my business with Indofood stuff is done already. Our journal is sent to JMS administration but we don't care have no idea whether it will published or not. Yeah, I really get bored with this Microbiology thing. I just can't imagine myself doing a master's degree in Microbiology, spending my whole time in a laboratory looking on microbes. No.

And the confusing parts are;
"what will I do after I graduated?" 
"will I get a job or continue to a higher degree?"
"what major/subject will I take for my master's degree?"
"what job is suitable for me? will my parent allow me to do?"


Gaaah, I still don't know the answer yet. But anyway, I don't take it rashly. I'm thinking while I'm enjoying my current life. There's nothing to be regretted or worried. Well, I'm a liar if I tell you I didn't regret or worry anything. Sometimes I do, but in the other time, the optimistic side of me whispers, "keep calm and carry on!"


Speaking about enjoy, I do enjoy spending time at home. Isn't that boring? Well, I'll share it later. ;)


P.S: The first sentence I made on December 12. So, I'd like to thank Veness too for write the lovely same comment ;)


Cheers!
