After One Year...

It has been one year since I left Perth for good. I was relieving at that time since I submitted my first draft thesis. I went home alone taking two flight transit in Denpasar Bali. I took Garuda Indonesia flight and had to change my flight number to Jakarta. I left around 6 am Perth time, Brother Syah family took me up to the airport. Really, they are good family, and they have already known what was going on between me and him. Ok, it is not time to reveal my past time. Let it gone by the wind even sometimes, I always remember what was going on me in Perth for two years.

And now, guess what, I am sitting here back to my office. After one year, I am still struggling with my thesis correction. I was so awful and last time I received one e-mail from my supervisor that I have to address some points which will be negotiated to the research committee that I mind with my first examiner said. Yea, I did it and sent it last Monday.

Now, I am waiting for any confirmation. I hope the good news will come over.

Actually, I had some targets had to be done for one year. Let me lists what I have done and what I haven’t been done.

Well, seems that my live start constantly. I always busy with vicious cycle on my work which I shouldn’t do it. Ok, I apologize myself.

I submitted three papers to both international and national conferences of my thesis. Until now, all are under confirmation. If so, I sent my abstract to the Geological Society of Australia (GSA) which I become a student member. If it is approved then I have to present my work in winter conference in Canberra next July. I also sent my abstract to national conference of Indonesian Association of Geologist in Sengigi Lombok Island on October this year. Well, the last reason why I register as a presenter is because I want to visit its beautiful island. Heard that they have white-sandy beaches which are very awesome I thought.

The last silly thing when I send 3 of scientific paper to the UNESCO summer internship for writing in Italy. I got misunderstanding issues regarding my registration. The committee required the social science background (e.g communication study background) for attending its course. The main goal is how to present research work for non-scientific audience on writing. I though that it is scientific course writing. Thus, the committee said I am not eligible for awarded its course. Indeed, I disagreed with the committee’s decision. I argued that for me whom have scientific background, it is good if I got some training in communication issues regarding present scientific issues to non-scientific audience.
Is it easier to train scientists to write information wrapped in non-scientific language? I think so, but again, the committee did not reply my email.

Well, at least I had try something. For me, failed means never try. I tried and I failed, and that is I called postponed success.

Have a nice day everyone 
God bless you
