This was supposed to be a blog writing bout SRC, life in IMU and all that, but today I am going to write something real personal coz I just can't stand it anymore. If I don't write it out I am going to explode anytime. Before coming to IMU I was well known for my fiery temper and stubborness, I thought I got a lot more "gentle" when I got here, but this situation just reignite the flame in me, a RAGING flame.
So here is a brief explanation of the situation:
Pharmacy Practice class test initially is on 15th (thurs), Drug & Disease class test 19th (mon)... N suddenly JPA scholars are informed, " you all are going to pack ur stuff and attend a 5 day Kem Bina Tatanegara (watever shit is tat) starting from 14th... which means we will miss our PP class test and take our DD class test immediately when we come back, in the process missing lots of classes, despite IMU agree to reschedule the PP class test, the situation look bad for us students... I will tell u why
1) We need to take PP and DD class test back to back once we return from the camp, despite being tired and demoralised (i suspect it might be due to the attempted brainwashing talks in the camp). And we have exams in the camp as well, so how are we suppose to remember so many things?
2) BTN versus class test and all the classes ( which include classes tat are examinable in the class test), which is more important? Hmm... I feel even 3 years old know the answer. Oh ya, dear government, I thought ponteng class is against the law? Are you asking us to do tat?
3) There are lots of BTN lots throughout the year, why can't we be arranged to other slots, when we do not have class and exams? Yes they might argue they prepared everything for us d can't be changed, but why such a late notice to us? And as far as I know our government is damn rich ( not to mention those who took rasuah everyday ), so arranging another camp for us isn't a problem.
What really pissed me off is despite us students, parents and IMU authorities called to ask them to postpone the camp, giving good reasons, with all the pleading and begging, those stubborn and dumb-headed people insist we will go to the camp or face actions.
Here is the thing, if I go to the camp, I am going to do badly in the class test (possibly submitting a blank paper, which is something I did before), and end up failing my final exam, losing the scholarship. If I don't go to the camp they will probably suspend my scholarship ( worst case scenario), so either way I will lose it, so why not do something I feel its right?
And furthermore its not just bout results, even though we are under your scholarship my fren, we are not your slaves, forcing us to do unreasonable stuff like this is totally unforgivable. We are human and we have our human rights, me n few left standing (most of others already gave up hope and will prepare for the camp) will fight till the end on what we feel is right for us.
So we will see what happen on monday, I was tempted to phone JPA but looking at the situation now, I probably will burst and say something rude to them, making things worse, so lets let the cooler headed colleagues settle the matters. But if they persist, I would not hesistate bring this issue to higher authorities and make it public, in newspapers (again its not something i haven't done before)
And before I end, this is a warning: if the BTN camp dares to say a word that insult us students regarding racial and religious matters, I would not keep quiet.
