My Favourite Subjects

Hello guys, how ya' doin? Whoa, what a busy semester and finally! I almost reach the end of the 7th semester. Several weeks later, the final exam will begin and I have to prepare myself to face it. By the way, now, I want to tell you a brief story about what is my favourite subjects after this 7th semesters that I have been learnt started from the 1st semester until now. Actually, there are so many subjects that I learnt from any subjects like from Linguistics, Translation, Teaching, and Literature. So, from that main subjects, what is my major and what is the subject that I love? Actually I'm taking Translation as my main subject since my department only give us two choices of main subjects which are Translation and Teaching, so I choose Translation due to fact that I'm not really like to teach someone (is it?), But, but, even my major is Translation but I love Literature so much. HOW? How that I really love Literature so much? Well, main reason I love it because I love to learn something that related to the cultural, literary works such as poem, poetry, drama, and the important thing that I love since when I was in the junior school is history. Yes, maybe you guys will ask just like my friends that why I love history? I believed that by learning history, we can know who we are, what is our identitity (nationalism yeay!) and also we can know the others history that has been made by human and that was awesome you know! Anyway, I don't want to discuss that kind of things in this session. Let's discuss about what is my favourite subjects that I have been learnt until 7th semester. Let's discuss it one by one so maybe you can get and know what is the subjects that I learn as an English Language & Culture student so maybe one day you are interested to apply as an English Language & Culture student like me (promotion?).

After many subjects that I learnt until this 7th semester, there are several subjects that I love which are first is about the Cultural Studies like American Studies, British Studies, and Australian Studies. Second are English for Specific Purpose Studies like English For Journalists, English For Public Relation, and also English For Secretary. Third and last was anything that related to the Literature Studies like Film & Literature, Introduction to Drama, and also Introduction to Contemporary Literature. Whoa, Whoa, wait a minute, are you sure with that subjects? Absoultely yes, because on those subjects, I feel like my passion about English on that subjects are strong and I'm never bored or sleepy to learnt it at the class. Why I can love those subjects? there are several strong reasons why I love those subjects.
     1. First is about passion. If you know your passion and you love it, and whoala, you will enjoy to learn the thing that you love. After you love it and you got the passion on it, you will do your best effort to get the best score on it. In here, I know the passion since my junior school time. At this university level, I'm trying to expand my passion on that subjects to get the maximum scores. Once you get it, you will very grateful with your own work and it will be invaluable moment.
     2. Second are about the subjects that will be very useful for you at your job's life. Journalists, Public Relation, Secretary, or job in the Embassy is the dream job for me and several persons. So it is the best subjects to learn and to prepare yourself about what will you do next later on at your career.

Anyway, what is the reason why I tell this story about my experience? Well, since on the 8th semester that I will only focused on the thesis, and also my SKS is complete to proceed for the thesis, there will be no more subjects beside final project (skripsi in Bahasa Indonesia).

So, what is the conclusion for you that I want to give? The conclusion is simple, find your passion and fight for it to get the best result on it. It is very,very important for your career and also your future later on. Beside that, there is no useless thing that you have been learnt. Everything is USEFUL for you to use it for your future. That's all for this simple post that maybe can help you to get some ideas and my message is "Whatever what is your passion, find it, learn it, maximize it! Never give up, discipline yourself, and responsible at your work!"
