Second Semester

Since the concentration of subjects were different, the class was split "The Japanese" moved to smaller classroom.

Finishing 1st semester meant we should focus on application for Japanese universities. We had an extra class to prepare (I called this) an informal research proposal and inception documents.

During January and February were intense time to send application and interview with Japanese professors coming to ITB. Even though your research interest are still in the middle of nowhere, just show convincing performance. That's what I did, I hated it, though!

Anyway, it's time to show your personality. Are you selfish, risk taker, or tolerance? Personally, I was a risk taker and little bit selfish ;). I didn't mind to be expelled by my friends as long as I was not haunted by my curiosity. Besides, I wanted to prove the system was not as strict as their thought. I was RIGHT, eventually. All their worries of regulation were rubbish. All of us were accepted. I did what I needed to do and got what I wished for. I was happy, didn't know them.

This semester was quite fun because we had two trips outside Bandung, Jakarta and Pangandaran. Yet, still many and full of papers and presentations.

Ending up the days at ITB, we had Japanese class for about 1.5 months before leaving. Actually, it should be carried out at the classroom of UPT Bahasa, but we asked to move it into our classroom at SAPPK because it's more comfortable.

During Japanese class, we also had to deal with legal documents such as passport and visa. Especially for local government workers, we had to prepare a document signed by Secretary of Province in order to have a recommendation from Ministry of Home Affairs. The person in charge of this stuff in the ministry, named Anto. he handled the rest of documents process. For ladies, don't be spoiled by his not bad looking, once you directly come to his office, you still have to remind him about your document on and on.
