Final Tests! Cheater Detected!?

Mood: tired, unsatisfied

Konnichiwa, minna-san. How are you today?

I am truly sorry for the late update. I'm kind of busy recently and I'm in the middle of final tests right now. So... yes. Actually, today is the fourth day of the final tests week. One day more and I will gain my freedommmmm!

Ehm. Sorry about that. 

Very well, let's get to the point now. As the title says, it seems that a cheater is detected. And how shocking it is, to know that the cheater is one of my friends - one of the best five students with high score in her class. People who hear this news keep giving comments such as: "Everyone knows she's smart. But it's proved now that she gets high score by cheating. What a disappointment."

This is truly an unpleasant incident. I shocked and I couldn't say anything while people told me about this. It's like "Yeah, what a disappointment." I don't quite understand what thing that made her cheated during the final test nor the incident itself. I heard this news not so long ago, about a day before. Well, rumors spread fast, aren't they?

I haven't verified this incident though, and tomorrow is the last day of the final tests, so I think I still have much time to verify it. There is also one more thing that sounds odd in my ear, and that is: the first person who started the rumors and how did she/he know that my friend cheated. This information can be helpful if I obtain it because the students' seats is arranged to prevent the students from cheating. How mysterious...


TO-DO LIST:
  1. Refresh the brain by surfing the net.
  2. Re-refresh the brain by re-surfing the net.
  3. Make an entry about the cheating incident.
  4. Sleep.


Yours sincerely,

Rest In Piece

Mood: feel pity, stressed

It's such a long time since I don't update my notebook. Well then, konnichiwa, minna-san. How is your day? I hope it's good and better than before. *smiles*

Very well, let's start the story.


Ding, dong. The bell of break time finally rang. All students went outside of the English classroom.

What? Happily? No. We went outside UNHAPPILY and STRESSED out. This is all because of the tests. A week full of tests. Each day has about two tests. No wonder people got stressed out...

About the time I reached my classroom, I heard someone saying something. And it was the speaker of our classroom. A teacher in the teacher room announced something important using the microphone. "Attention please, all students in *censored* Junior High School. Not a long time ago, we received a news that Priest Heri died, at yesterday night. So please donate and put the donations in the envelope OSIS have prepared. Thank you."

That is so... sudden.

I mean, seriously. That surprised me. I think in this week, there are so many people who are in bad conditions, such as sick or something. But that isn't the only one thing that surprised me.

I was waiting for my car to pick me up, since school already finished. Fortunately, there was Jenni, one of my friends who also waited. But not for her car or so, she was waiting for her friend, Ferren. Thank God I still have a friend who also waited with me.

And then my car came. I waved to Jenni as I walked to the car. About the time I reached it, a friend of mine (who usually goes home by the same car with me) and his friend (who doesn't usually go home by the same car with me, but she recently goes to the boy's home by this car also) came up. The girl waved to me as I waved back to her. Then I thought, "Why don't they get in the car? Or are they have something to do?" When I reached the car, firstly I observed it. Not to check if it's safe or not, but to see if there are people in the car or not. It's kind of dumb and awkward to do that, especially when there ARE people in the car. And unfortunately, there WERE people in the car. Oh, I think I'm using too much "in the car".

The people who were sitting in the backseat waved to me and ordered me to get in the car (again). Surprised to see the owner of this pick-up-car-services and her mother, I threw a glance at the two friends of mine who already walked away. Then the owner lady suddenly said, "The girl wants to ride this car again. Mother scolded her, saying if she wants to ride this car, she must also pay it monthly like the boy. Or at least, pay it when she wants to ride. Tch, kids these days..." "Yes, and even if she really needs to ride today with the boy, there aren't any space more. The trunk is full with our bags and things," said the mother.

I blinked when I heard "the trunk is full with our bags and things". It's rare to see them preparing things like that. "Eh, do you want to go to somewhere else?" I asked. "Yes, yesterday night, Roni's dad died. We'll go to Medan to see them," said the owner lady. Roni is the name of our real driver. Up until now, he's still in Medan. 

That surprised me, second time. Two people, no, THREE people! I remember my friend's grandmother also died not a long time ago. Just what the heck is with this week!?

I really hope everything will be better tomorrow and in the next day... And Rest In Piece, Priest Heri; Mr. Roni's dad; and my friend's grandmother. God bless you there, may God always be with you.


TO-DO LIST:
  1. Pray for the three people who died. May God always be with you.
  2. Make an entry.
  3. Stressed out because of the tests. Try to commit suicide. FAILED AND WILL ALWAYS FAIL
  4. Wait for my beloved homemade made-by-mom steak. *drools*


Yours sincerely,

You Are Deserved

Mood: Tired, confused, happy

--------------------------------------------------------------------

"What did your right hand do, never let your left hand knows."

That is a very good quote from my English teacher (originally from Jesus in the bible.) It means whatever you did to people, don't ever let other people know. Keep it a secret between you, the people, and God.

My teacher said that over and over again to remind us to help people who need our help. And then, the problem comes...

"Students who haven't presented their groups' movie may prepare their own presentation and practice with their groups," said my teacher. "And students who already presented their groups' movie, please don't be noisy and don't disturb other groups. If you are noisy, your group's score will be zero. This also applies for the groups who haven't presented the movie."

Now I would like to ask you, what did my teacher mean by "don't be noisy and don't disturb other groups"? Yes, it meant that we (who already presented our group's movie) are allowed to have some chit-chat, but we shouldn't be noisy. Then, three students, including me, was ordered to write down any students' name who are noisy. 

One of the two students and me had some chit-chat with our friends, and we didn't write down any students' name because we thought that they are allowed to talk, to practice. But the other one (let's call him A) wrote down almost EVERY students' name in that room, including me. I mean, what the heck? Didn't he hear what our teacher said? Besides, he also had some chit-chat with his friends!

Break time came, every students in the class did whatever they want to do. Suddenly, one of our friends (let's call him B) came to A's desk and snapped him. We then realized that B knew about A wrote down every students' name, and he didn't like it. He doesn't want to end up having zero score. After that, the situation became worse. B almost kicked a chair and a table, almost had a fight with A. Fortunately, our friends, especially boys, tried to stop him and took him out from the class. A just shut up and couldn't do anything but kept silent. I thought, he deserved that. He's the one who is wrong, so he deserved those snaps. But he kept behaving like he's the one who is right. 

I felt sorry for B. I understand that he wants to have a good score, but A just messed it up. I decided to help him. I want to help those who are right, I want to find the justice. Then, with two friends of mine, I looked for my English teacher and when we met him, we explained about what happened directly. Fortunately, the teacher said, "Ah, I know A always like that. Tell the others they definitely won't have zero." So we went back to our class and told our friends to not worry about it anymore. Our friends reacted happily and relieved, also thanked us for what we did.

At that time, I was surprised. My eyes were tickling, just like there are tears which want to come out. 

My friends genuinely thanked. And I felt like, they need me. I felt so happy after that, for I just want to be needed by people. I just want to hear a genuine "thank you" from them... And I received it. I thought, "Is this a karma because I helped him?"

I didn't know how to react, so I just waved a hand, saying "you're welcome." Up until now, I still amazed by them. This is my first time receiving a genuine "thank you." I haven't received such as that before. What I've received before is just a slight "thank you" like how people always say.

I think this story ends here. I hope someday, I will receive a genuine "thank you" again.


TO-DO LIST:

  2. Finish homeworks.
  3. Sleep.
