First Job Experience


Amazing Holiday

                Last holiday was such an amazing holiday. It was different from my other holiday. Usually I spent my holiday with sleeping, eating, hanging out with friends, and other useless activities. I filled my last holiday with working in home industry. At first, I worked there to earn money, so I could buy new shoes with my own money. Later on, it happened to be an unforgettable experience I ever do.
                First day of work, I went with a new spirit. I was so excited and expecting a lot of new things I will learn. I arrived at 8.00 a.m. and no one there. It turned out that I was too early. Other workers arrived at 9.00 a.m. the first thing that I learn was how to make ribbon, so I have to make around 300 ribbons by myself. At first, it was very hard for me to understand the way to make it, but later on I could make 300 ribbons easily in short time. Others thing that I learn as cooking cupcake and pudding, make souvenirs for wedding and birthday party, also decorate birthday party.
                Second day of work was a boring day. I went at 9.00 a.m. and arrived at 9.30 a.m.  Fortunately, my boss didn’t mad at me for being late I spent my second day of working with watching television, eating snack, even sleeping. There weren’t any order for that day, so we just do nothing, and left work early.
                The third day was such a hectic and tiring day. There were a lot of orders on that day. It was around 200 birthday souvenir and 100 wedding souvenir, there were only 4 workers, so we split it into half. I went home late, about 7.00 p.m. I was too tired at that time to the point I had thoughts to stop working because I think it was hard and tiring. Luckily, my mom suggested me to go on because she thinks it was such a waste, so I continued working until one month.
                Day by day passed by, until the day I told my boss that I had to stop working because my college will start soon. At first, she was mad at me because I didn’t tell her early. But the next day she gave me my first salary and told me to study hard and be successful person. I was so happy. Finally, I got my first salary, it wasn’t that much, around 800 thousand rupiah. I’m glad I didn’t stop working at that day, because I got a lot of new experiences, I made new friends, I bought new shoes, and of course I learn how hard it is to make money, so I could value it in the future.

My 3rd Semester

My 3 rd Semester In the third semester, I felt very comfortable. My classmates are very friendly, so I'm not too difficult to adjust with them. They are also good and like to help each other in the lesson. When I did not understand about the lesson, I will ask and discuss it with my friend. In the third semester, I also just got to know the lesson called linguistic and literature. At first I had a hard time because I had not gotten a picture of the lesson. Then, I learned that linguistics was more focused on memorization, and literature focusing more on practice. In my opinion the most difficult lesson is grammar, because if we don't understand the lesson we will also have difficulties in writing, reading, and etc. Sometimes I have difficulties to divide time to study between one lesson and another. The reason is because sometimes I more focus on learning to lessons that I can't and other lessons are little disturbed. Therefore, in the next semester I will change...
