A Story from Toilet

Dinding itu bersaksi, atas apa yang terjadi tiga hingga empat tahun yang lalu. Di tempatku berdiri, dulu, empat orang anak SMA sering tertawa-tawa bersama, membicarakan hal yang tidak penting. Padahal mereka tahu, jam pelajaran setelah istirahat sudah dimulai. Namun, nongkrong di dekat kamar mandi yang baru jadi, rasanya lebih menyenangkan bagi mereka.

Begitulah mereka. Di kelas, mereka menamai diri mereka sebagai TTM alias Team Trouble Maker. Nama yang berkonotasi negatif, tapi selalu mereka banggakan. Hingga suatu hari, salah satu dari mereka mengukir nama 'Geng' kesayangan mereka di salah satu tiang penopang sekitar kompleks kamar mandi dekat kelas mereka.

Tidak kusangka, tiga tahun kemudian, tulisan ini masih akan ada. Membuatku tersenyum takjub, terseret kembali pada kenangan semasa berseragam putih abu-abu. Namun sayang, tidak ada kamera untuk mengabadikan tulisan bersejarah itu. Dan yang lebih menyiksa adalah ketika beberapa hari kemudian aku mendapati beberapa orang datang mengecat ulang seluruh dinding sekolah ini, sekolahku dulu. Tentu saja dinding dekat kamar mandi tidak luput dari sapuan kuas cat.

PPL – Eat, Play, Laugh

Waiting is unpleasant things to do. I don’t like it. You don’t either, do you? So, to make us happy or not really upset, I’m sure you will do something fun. Here it is. Coming to school to do teaching practice, we must be patient to wait for our guidance teacher. While waiting for headmaster’s signature on Surat Tugas of the teachers to be our guide, we do anything we can do.

EAT

Rules are rules. Coming before 6.45 am made some of us having no time to have breakfast. Hungry? Yeah. But don’t worry, canteen would welcome us well. We love it so much coz there’re so many delicious snack, meal and fresh or hot beverage. But the most important one is.. They are not expensive ^^
but then, we have plan to bring our own snacks, so we won’t waste much money because of our hunger. 

PPL – Headscarf

Well, because most of us (PPL Smasa Team) are hijabers :v, headscarf’s being one of the most important things to discuss every day.

There’s always a simple question which has so many answers: “What color (headscarf) will we use tomorrow?”

Black – White – Grey – Blue – Brown

Everyone has their own idea...

And finally we have to decide one color. We are happy to see all of us having same headscarf's color. We do this because we want to be solid team. Not only in teaching practice, but also about our appearance – so we look beautiful haha

PPL – High heels

Wearing high heels, something I never do before. But it’s not bad idea to do. Coz today I wear it. Love it, I’m being taller than before :D

Being more confidence, then no more benefits I think. The same feeling from us who never wear it: We felt tired after walking around the school which is not really large :v

Let’s be good friend, high heels. We’ll be together till three months later :) :*

PPL – Back to School!

Nineteenth of August – Today, we are seventh semester students have a special agenda to do, something called upacara serah terima Praktek Pengalaman Lapangan (PPL). Because we are pre-service teacher (calon guru), so we do our PPL at school, next I’ll also call PPL as Teaching Practice (TP). And here we are, in SMA 1 Kudus. I’m coming with 9 friends from English Education Department, and 11 friends from BK.

Nice to be here, coz it was my high school. Though I was not a special student, but coming back here gave me a great feeling. Seeing my teachers, my classrooms, and every corners of this school remind me to bitter-sweet memories as a student :) And now, the school building’s whole lot better than three years ago.

Back to my story about TP, we arrived there before 8 a.m – beautifully and handsomely. The students had Independence Day’s celebration. They did some activities and competitions in the school field, so they had no teaching-learning process in the classroom. Two teachers welcomed us and said that they couldn't do the ceremony of PPL today. They asked us to come again the next day. Though we felt disappointed, but we tried to smile and left the school politely.
