Lab’s life and homework

I’m now at the library doing nothing. Actually I was only looking for warmth and some comfort　because I’m getting bored sitting in front of my old-fashioned computer at the lab. Even though it’s older than other people’s computer, I don’t mind though because it still can run well and has 160 GB of hardisk (not bad). Just be thankful for everything given now, then insyaAlloh Alloh will give more in the future, amiin.

 

I just read my friend’s posting on her blog about one of her experience in her lab’s group discussion (or was it zemi?). Hmm… it made we want to write a post about my lab’s life. So, until now, my professor has only assigned me one homework which has to be done continuously every two weeks until the end of this semester. And he also told me that we will have seminar (Japanese students call it “zemi”) for me, alone. I have only attended one zemi this semester which was the bachelor grade 4’s seminar. In the seminar, every B4 students will be seated in front of the professor and then they present about their sotsuron progress. After they’re done with their presentation, sensei will give critics and comments on it. But, since the seminar is totally in Japanese, I was like hearing aliens communicating! I asked my professor if I will have to attend the B4’s seminars. Suzuki sensei said that I don’t have to attend it because it would be a waste of time for me anyway. So, in my case probably it will be like discussion about my homework. But until now I didn’t get any clarification about my seminar’s schedule because Suzuki sensei said that the seminar schedule will be decided later. I’ve sent him emails twice asking about the schedule, but I haven’t got any reply so I really don’t know what to do…

 

Now, guess what my homework is!? I’m supposed to make resume or summary of a journal every two weeks. Hahaha… suddenly I remembered the time when my class in TIUI (Industrial Engineering, University of Indonesia) was given task to make resume of a journal every week. If I’m not mistaken, it was the Management of Information System class. The purpose of the homework that sensei gave me is to direct me to a specific topic for my sotsuron. I think this homework will be really important for my sotsuron and my future final thesis in Indonesia. Because of that, I intended to make one summary of a journal every week. Unfortunately I got stuck in the third and fourth summaries because I had some trouble understanding papers about customer satisfaction. I gave up and tried to find new papers. Yesterday I went to look for journals on supply chain again but from different aspects from the ones I have summarized before to give broader picture about supply chain to ease me when choosing the sotsuron topic that really interests me. Well, I think I need to thank Pak Dachyar for giving the summarizing task in Indonesia, so I’m quite used to it now. Anyway, a bit out of the topic, when sensei gave me the summary task, I put it on the Facebook stating that sensei gave me homework to summarize journal every two weeks and Pak Dachyar “liked” it

 

Humm… I haven’t seen my professor in a while. Well, I’m scared to go to his office and even my tutor is not offering his help! HELP ME!! Every time I planned to see my professor, it would just be a plan because, yes, I’m scared to see him. Maybe I’m scared if suddenly he asked about the papers I’ve been summarizing, hahaha. Alloh help me please? I need some courage to go to my professor’s office and ask about my tasks or anything, because sending emails sometimes just won’t do well.
