So, the
title said what it said. I finally finished my foundation studies on 27th of
May 2019! Yay! Am I excited? Yes, indeed, a lot!
What can
I say about my foundation year? It was indeed nice, despite the difficulties I
encountered. I hardly accepted the fact that it was finally over. There was
sudden emptiness inside me that kept saying that I want to go back to the
campus, to continue studying. 12 months of being in Aimst University as a
foundation student taught me a lot. New environment, new friends and new styles
of studying. It was tough at first, but I guess I survived well?
My
foundation consists of three semesters, 3 months per semester. Honestly, I
think it was long and boring though. Especially semester 1 where we did not
have much works to do aside from constant classes. Boring! But entering
semester 2 and 3, things get tougher. Tonnes of assignments to be done and less
time to rest. I am not sure how would people define rest, but for me, not being
able to go to bed at 11 is restless. I have fixed sleep schedule ya know and
those works made me unable to keep up my regular pace.
However,
I would say, I enjoyed my foundation year a lot. Malays were the minority
there. My batch only consists of three Malay girls and two Malays boys. And I
would say, we were not even that close to each other. We have our own group of
friends, only recognising each other as batchmates and exchanged smiles here
and there. But it was fine though. I secretly love the diversity of friends I
have. One of my friends is a Siamese, the rest are Indians and Chinese. They
were much more reliable actually. We talked in broken English a lot, that I
took hours to recheck and rewrite this post, seriously and I think there are still errors here and there.
So
now, I have more or less than three months before I continue my degree. Yes, I
was bounded to a contract with the university since I was one of their
scholarship student during foundation. Thus, I have to do my degree there as
well or else I need to repay all my fees during foundation. It will definitely
cost more than it should be, right? I do not have any problem with the
university though, so why not?
I
have a lot to tell about my journey during foundation. But to put them all in a
post would make it ugly. So yeah, I will
slowly share my experiences here, with those who willing to read, of course J
Anyway,
this is my first post in 2019. Since it is better late than never, I would love
to wish happy 2019, salam Ramadhan and happy Eid Mubarak in advance.
See
ya.
P/s
: This post took a week to finish thanks to my Raya preparation though. My mom
legit waited for me to finish my final exams to start preparing.
