The Fourth Week

On 12^th February 

It is the third time for me teaching in ABM 12 A. Previously, my mentor asked me to make a quiz for the students. So when I enter the class, I immediately tell all the students that today I will give the quiz.  Previously the class was very noisy suddenly became very quiet because they heard the news that I gave. When I said that I was going to give the quiz that day, they were very surprised even they had time to delay to be given a quiz. After a few minutes we debated, finally they accepted. It was not too difficult to face them even though they're so smart. I like to talk with them.
well, after that I start showing their quiz questions, and give them time to solve the question.
During the quiz, I watched those who were working on the questions. They look calm and think very hard, but when I ask them "are the questions difficult?" They replied "no, ma'am!".
I really admire them, because none of them cheats. I told you before, that they were very intelligent ...


And after they finish the quiz, I still have 1 hour to teach, so I start to explain about the next topic that is Management Innovation until the time runs out.

It is the second time for me to teach in ABM 12 C class. So the students start their presentation in the same  way that I give to ABM 12 class A . They presentate their assignment, but I felt they were not ready to make a presentation that day because when I entered the class, from 4 groups only 2 groups completed their presentation. Finally I told those who have not completed their task to be completed soon.
Actually, I was not satisfied with their appearance because they do not explain at all but just read the book. There were even some students who when I asked about one example, they did not know. So after all of them presentate their assignment¸ I explained again about the part that they don’t understand. I have to explain again the material they should have known. But no problem, I am happy at least they have tried and done their best.
 

On 14th February,

That day, we were taught to dance a Filipino dance called 'Itik Itik'. I was very interested and like this moment because I really like to dance even though I was having a fever. We danced about 1 hour, then resumed after lunch. But unfortunately, after lunch I could not follow the practice of dancing because I had to see my mentor at CBM, so I just studied the dance through video.

After that, we prepare to attend the promenade party held at TAU Gymnasium. When I first arrived at the gymnasium, I was very surprised by their luxurious clothes and they were wearing masks. Very different with the clothes that we wear. Really, i was feeling that maybe it will be better if  I just go back to hostel. I was feeling not deserve to attend that party. Ha ha ha
At that time, I was incessantly admiring them because they were performing extraordinary dances.

On 15th February 

At that time, morning at 07:00 am I had to see my mentor to take my evaluation form at CBM. After that when I returned to the hostel at 10:45 am, Ms. Michelle said that all my friends have gone to the Laboratory School for Cooking Demonstration. Finally, I followed them even though along the way I had to ask people about the location of the laboratory school. When I arrived, I saw two students who cooked Filipino dishes called 'Bangus Sisig', a food derived from a bangus fish. 

After they cooked, now finally my turn and Rere to cook Indonesian food. Actually at that time I wanted to make 'green banana ice' but unfortunately, here we did not get the green color food and also no red syrup. Finally, because we did not have time we made 'Es Pallu Butung' Makassar's traditional food. Alhamdulillah it doesn't disappointed.

After that, now Ami's turn and helped by my friends who will cook 'Pangek Ombilin' which is a traditional food from Padang. It's tasted very delicious for me, but Filipinos said that the food was very spicy. Hahahahaha

In the evening, we attended the Closing Program. I feel that why the 1-month time feels very short here. At the closing program, we're asked to dance 'Itik Itik', Filipino dance. For God's sake and for heaven and earth, I feel so ashamed because I have never danced in front of everyone and more embarrassingly, I don't memorize the choreography at all. It was a very embarrassing day of my life.

Hahahahaha.......

After we performed, our name was mentioned one by one to receive a certificate from TAU given by the University President. Our mentor is also given a certificate.

After that, we change our costume by using traditional costume from our respective tribes. At that time I was wearing 'baju bodo' which is a traditional costume from my tribe of  Makassar. I'm so happy that my mentor was there then and we can take pictures together.

And then we took some pictures with m friends and the others...........

The Third Week

On 05^th of February 2018

It was a very thrilling day. Guess what ?? Yup. It was the first day I will teach in ABM 12 class A . Yes, i will teach the students who were smart, the english speaking was more eloquent than myself. All I had in mind was fear if I made a mistake and they would laugh at me. But soon I let go of that thought. All I have to do now is give my best. 
I have to do everything that I have learned about teaching strategies in campus. 

Because beforehand I have prepared myself from afar the day about the material and the task that 
I will give.
The learning process I started by asking about their news and readiness that day. After that, I asked the class leader to lead the prayer before starting the learning process. They looked awkward and weird when I told them to pray. I want to apply it because I think praying is very important and also because during my school I used to pray before studying.
The learning process that I am providing, runs smoothly in accordance with what 
I described in the lesson plan. I can make students active to answer questions and they can understand the subject matter I have given. My teaching activities ended with the assignment of group assignments they will present at the next meeting.

 On 07^th of February, 

It was the second times for me to teach in ABM 12 class A. And today they will presentate their group assignment. I chose to randomize their order to appear first and I also selected two students to present their assignments. I find it very funny to see their tense faces and begin the presentation. For the umpteenth time I greatly admire them. they are very creative in making their presetations. There are even groups that make videos for their presentations, make dances, translate 7 p into Indonesian, even make an ad in front of us all. everything they did managed to make me laugh so I shed tears.
After they finished presenting their assignments, I started to mention their score started from the lowest score. they are very tense and look very funny. When I finished announcing their score, I gave the prize to the group that got the highest score. I just want to give them the motivation for them to try to do something well. And after that I end the lesson.

On 08^th of February 

It is the first time for me to teach in ABM 12 C class, not as thrilling as the first time I teach that is ABM 12 A. I started the same lesson as the first time I teach and with the same material that is 7 P's marketing mix. But there is a problem that my students are not very good at speaking English, so when they answer the question sometimes mixed with Tagalog language. But to me that's okay, because I can still understand their point. My teaching activities ended with the assignment of group assignments they will present at the next meeting.

At night, we had a wedding party of one of the lecturers in TAU, Ms. Anna Katrina Salvador Rodriguez. The wedding is being held in the hall building right behind of our hostel building.
We were very happy that night, especially me. I feel very lucky to be placed in TAU, because I can have a lot of fun experiences one of which is I can attend this wedding. Happy wedding Ms. Kat best wishes for you ...

On 10^th of February 



This is the fourth time for us to travel again. This time we went to manila. We leave before the morning at 04:00 am. We can only prepare instant noodles as our breakfast at that time. Because we left so early, we finally took the initiative to bring a pillow in the car. Ha ha ha So all the way we just sleep. When we arrived, at about 8:45 am, we went to a museum called The Mind Museum at Taguig. I was so impressed with the place.

 After that, we went to Jollybee's fast food restaurant for breakfast. Next we traveled again about 30 minutes and we arrived at Rizal Park. The weather is so hot and bright that I have to walk fast so that my face does not become scorched. Ha ha.

We were invited to visit a museum again there, but because it was a little far to walk and the weather was very very hot, we finally ride the train in the park.

After that, we had to walk again and cross the street about 5 minutes we finally arrived at the National Museum of Anthropology. This place is very beautiful and there are many visitors. Our fatigue did not feel when we entered the museum.

After a long walk around the museum until late afternoon, we were taken to the Mall of asia. My friends said that it was the biggest mall in Asia. in that place we visited a place to buy some souvenirs like shirts and key chains.
