I went to campus today and waited 2 hours just to meet the Head of Department of Dental Radiology. I skipped Physiology class because I was told the Head of Department will be free at 11AM and yes, my class starts at the same time. So, I skipped it and I regretted since I did nothing but sat on the bench obediently observing the patients coming in and going out from the clinics in that one hour which I was supposed to be concentrating in the class. She was supposed to be free at 11AM because Cathrine’s team discussion will start at 10 but she was wearing the wrong attire there. We’re supposed to wear a black skirt with white shirt for a girl but she wore jeans so she was told to go home for a change. That delayed her team discussion. After her team discussion, the lecturers in the department had a short meeting.
The Head of Department looked as if she wasn’t in a mood. I was so scared to talk to her, just like the first time I talked to my lecturer. She asked why I am meeting her. I explained saying I wanted to ask for the date for my team discussion, also my thesis presentation (as my thesis examination). My thesis was corrected. Yes, the lecturer who went honeymoon is back! She’s nice and kind. She helped me a lot in correcting my bad Indonesian grammar. I’ll take the opportunity here to thank her again here, thank you, Drg. Lydia. Drg. Trelia (the Head of Department) then told me to ask the other lecturers in the department if they’re free on the 9th and 17th. Too bad, Drg. Lydia is not around on the 17th. She’ll be going to her husband’s place. So now, the date for my team discussion will be on the 9th of December and thesis presentation on the 24th of Demember.
I’m glad I finally get the date already. I don’t feel happy at the same time. I miss home. My friends and I already planned a potluck dinner together in my house when I’m home. We’ll be calling many friends to join the potluck but now it is canceled. Not only that, my 22d birthday party is canceled too. I wonder when will be the next time we all shall gather again. I think this is the first year I am not celebrating my birthday with my best friends. They’ll be there by my side when I blew off the candles every year. I miss their cheers and laughter T.T
