07.26.06 (8:58 am) [edit]

It’s 11.45 pm and I’ve just revised my thesis. Taka still in Tulungagung, she sent me SMS this afternoon telling that she’s just suffering from typhus. She suspected that she had dengue fever too, but the laboratory test showed nil viruses. Finally u do not have to enter the hospital. Be good, Gal, so we can hang out and have some PH dishes again, hmmm :P .

While Mini is having her leisure in her hometown, Bangka, to meet her family. Perhaps she returns early August. My boarding house becomes quiet(er) bcos everybody going home.

Ok, this week I am busy to pursue my lecturers for thesis’ finishing touch, and today it’s done. Fuuuh, finally I can breathe easy…

Then what for the next destination? Postgraduate program I’m thinking about! And it must be going abroad. I and Hermione went to Hyatt Regency Bandung looking for some info about it. Hyatt was arranging Australian education exhibition, several universities and scholarship had their opportunities to introduce themselves. We went to each of stands, picked some brochures and got bags (becoz we’re ‘talkative’) and snooped to people consulting to the staffs. Those stands: Flinders Univ., RMIT, IDP, Univ. of New South Wales, Bank of Commonwealth, Charles Darwin Univ.,etc. And finally Monash Univ. that we’re interested in.

Well, at first we just dropping by and listening to what the staff said (to other people). We read the guide book, and we found that Monash is two thumbs up for Int’l Relations (IR) postgraduate study. There are a lot of IR-related courses!

Hermi and I often smiled to each other… to show that “well, this is what we are looking for”. Taking a deep breath, we asked the staff (I forgot her name, a native) for some explanation. We asked her that we need further info about Master of IR or Master of Art program, but we guessed she did not get it bcoz she explained about Master of Int’l Business instead (oh no, we do not need it!!! To us, that’s crap, hehehehe!). K, perhaps she underestimated us, girls with veils hehehe, perhaps she thought that we could not talk much on politics (u’re wrong, Mam… we’ve studied politics, politics, and politics for four years! We’re politician, hehehe! Take that!). Then I told her once again that we were actually looking for Master of Art/IR.

Then she asked another staff, a native man who knew much about the program. The conversation began, and we went to the core that the subject we’re more interested in is Master of Counter-Terorism! He seemed to be shocked (hehehe, girls in veil asking about terrorism, hehehehe, we’re not terrorists Sir!). Then he explained about the program. We forgot his last name; we just remember that his firstname is Alan. Well, I talked the most to deliver Hermi’s question from Bahasa to English.

Master of Counter-Terrorism:
Campus on Clayton.
Mode of study: coursework.
Duration: 1,5 years.
Annual fee: $19.500.
Intake: March/July

We had dinner at Italian resto with the topics of every conversation: “Monash-Monash-Monash. Excellent. If we’re too afraid of Monash in Melbourne, we can go to Monash in Malaysia. And we know that he (Alan) bloody surprised when we asked about that Terrorist stuff”. Talking about the major, we now think that Master of Art/IR just … too wide subject, not detailed. Besides, I am fascinated in German Studies (ehem… ehem… ) and Slavic Studies (related to my thesis bout Yugoslavia). Hermi also interested in Slavic Studies (because it also concerns about Ukraine - Hermi, come on we’re not talking about Shevchenko, r8 -_- ?!?!) and Korean Studies (we’re not talking about its cinemas, r8 -___- ?!).

Dita, Congratulations on finishing your thesis! How exciting to be planning your next steps. I loved your comment about girls in veils asking about terrorism. Very funny. Most Americans would agree that all these wars and strife are wrong, but Bush does what he wants to keep the big corporations happy. Hopefully we will be able to change things during the next election.

Good luck with your move, Dita. Florida is hot and humid. There is rain every afternoon to help cool things off. So, it is cold at night there? I hope your computer is fixed soon. Look forward to more posts from you.
