It's not easy but it's worth to try

Well, time has gone really fast. Four years ago, I just came to Holland and learn how to speak not a perfect one but just say an understanable English. Now, finally, this might be the final year..yes at least that what they (the school) said to me that I am following a 4 years program of IBMS ( I am too lazy to write what IBMS stands for...if you are reading this, just make sure you will never think that IBMS is something that relates to a well-known computer brand).

It seems to be too far from possible when I aware of having less than a half year to collect a complete points of 60 ECTS (this is the European Credit Transfer System) in order to graduate this summer. Do you know why is kind of hard? because until now I have not collected even a single point and it is already April. 30 points from my placement, another 10 from a group project called a Business Plan, and the last 20 points from a dissertation.

The good news after all is that I do not give up yet!!.........Far from possible does not mean impossible. I know it is going to be tough....I still remembered those days when I had to finish a bachelor thesis for Sweden in 10 weeks. My other 5 Indonesian friends and I were working hard day and night in front of our notebooks with two or three pile of school books and papers were around, less sleeps and eating just for gaining more energy to be up for more than 18 hours a day. Luckily the class was over, no need to go to school anymore except to borrow and return the books....

Forgetting those things, I think this one is going to be scarier. Those three final assignments should be finished while I am still doing my placement ( you know 5 days in a week, 8 hours per day). One thing that I thankful is that I am still hoping to graduate........... GOD says never lose hope because the future is really there waiting (Proverb 23:18)
This is what gives me a power to move on and keeps trying...there is a chance; Even it is only 0.1%, it's not zero yet...toch?

The matter is not only "finishing all the assignments" but for me to be able to stay longer in this country by postponing my graduation is also TEMPTING!!
"Should I finish now and make my parents happy?" OR "should I stay longer? it only costs 1500 euros and it is only the matter of time and I can work longer and earn more..."

Still no decision yet...but I am trying my best...it's not easy but really worth to try........
unless I will regret it...for giving up so easily. It is similar with a soldier who runs-away in the middle of the war before it comes to end.........yeahhh a loser. Definitely not willing to be come one.
I come I see I.......well do not know yet
