hard work paid

I got shocked once I arrived to my campus today. Looking at Indonesians who don't know how to respect people is normal here but I never thought even Dentistry students who will become one of the professionals one day also didn't know how to respect people. It is such a mess to see the examination condition today. I'm sure the juniors were surprised with this condition today too!

I had my Dental Public Health paper today at 10am. As usual, for examination day, I'll arrive at least half an hour earlier than my examination time because we don't sit according to our student registeration number here, it is like FIRST COME FIRST SERVED system over here. So I have to be early in order to get good seat (place near to air-conditioner because the air-cond here works like a fan, not cold at all). The juniors were using the hall when I arrived, they are having their Bahasa Indonesia paper that time.

Guess what I see in the hall? There is one lecturer sitting in front, opening his eyes big to see if there is students coppying answers but still I didn't see any actions taken even when students open up their book to copy answers as if it was an open-book examination. Then there, I see some of my Indonesian classmates were in the hall too. What are they doing in the hall that time? They are not taking exam. They were standing behind the juniors, each person behind each junior, trying to get that place once the juniors finish their exam, once the lecturer gets out of the hall. OMG! I can't believe my eyes seeing all these. Can't they respect those who are sitting for examination? Can't they respect the poor lecturer in front who is much shorter than these big sized students?

Anyway, today's paper was hmmm... EASY! EASY! My hard work past few days were all paid! I can still see Indonesians copying answers from their friends today in my class even though we're sitting so far apart. The lecturer doesn't seemed to really care. Perhaps he didn't see them copying. Hmm..
