Writing Class #2

20 Maret 2015 merupakan hari yang tak terlupakan. Hari pengeksekusian. Hari dimana  nasib paper ku dan teman-teman ditentukan. Ya atau tidak. Diterima atau tidak. Sebenarnya jadwal mata kuliah writing di kelas kami adalah kemarin, (read: setiap hari Kamis). Namun dosen kami berhalangan masuk. Sehingga jadwalnya diganti Jumat, 20 Maret 2015 pukul 07.00 wib. Karena tidak sesuai jadwal, maka kami menggunakan ruang Munaqosah / sidang sebagai kelas kami. Hal ini semakin menimbulkan kesan "menakutkan"kan bagiku. Mengadakan eksekusi di ruang sidang. Wew, aku sangat-sangat tegang. Dosen pun datang. Aku bertambah gugup. Be l iau menceritakan seputar tugas chapter review I ini. Beliau mengatakan dari ketiga kelas yang telah diperiksa, tidak ada paper yang diterima.   Ya, aku sudah mendengar desas-desus mengenai hal itu. Itulah salah satu alasan mengapa aku sangat tegang, takut, dan gugup. Tibalah waktu pengeksekusian. Kami diminta untuk mengumpulkan paper kami sesuai absen. S...

Itu artinya, setiap minggu kami harus berkutat dengan buku-buku, laptop, artikel, jurnal, dan kawan-kawannya. Tak tanggung-tanggung, kami harus membaca 20 chapter buku sebagai sumber bahan tulisan kami. #Flashback Setiap minggu, dosen mata kuliah writing ini akan mengumumkan urutan peringkat kelas. Perkuliahan semester IV telah berjalan selama beberapa minggu. Menurut dosenku, performa kelasku (TBI A) mengalami penurunan. Tidak sebagus performa pada semester kemarin dalam mata kuliah Phonology . Kelasku terus mengalami penurunan. Bahkan, kelasku berada di peringkat terakhir. Oh, tidak! Aku dan teman-temanku shock saat mengetahui kelas kami berada di peringkat terakhir. Hal ini sempat membuat kami down . Kami tidak begitu antusias saat mendengar atau membahas mata kuliah Writing IV . Namun kami tak boleh berlarut-larut dalam kesedihan. Kami harus bersatu dan bangkit! Ya, akan kami kem...
