Been so long since I wrote on this blog. I’ve been being
overwhelmed by the graduation stuff. A lot of things to accomplish as soon as
possible and they occupied me much. Now, I am quite free and having pretty much
nothing to do but waiting for the graduation day to come. It’s gonna be on the 16th
of November.
Doing nothing has been so boring to me. Fortunately, I
got the opportunity to take part in Debat Bahasa Inggris SMA se-Kota Magelang
on October 28 and Debat Bahasa Inggris SMK se-Kota Magelang on October 30 and
31. Debating has been my passion since I was on the 4th semester. And I am so
grateful that my university always gives me the opportunity to join any
debating activities they have. A couple of friends and I were invited to be the
adjudicators of those two debate competitions. Of course, I was so impressed to
do so.
It wasn’t the first time for me to adjudicate a debate
session. I did the same thing in the pass two years as well. Yet, I felt kinda
nervous at the beginning of delivering verbal adjudications. But then, things
run so smoothly that I can control my speech and the content of the oral adjudications
I gave to the debaters. That was also slightly unbelievable that I became the
chair adjudicators for 9 debate sessions. Meaning that I delivered 9 different
oral adjudications. To be honest, I felt tired and so thirsty afterwards. Yet,
I was very much happy. Especially seeing those, whom I gave my verbal
adjudications to, were happy to get the information I brought to the debate. Those
who thought that what I told them was very beneficial.
Well, btw I am going to graduate in only two weeks. Actually
I am pretty afraid that I will lose the opportunities I used to have when I was
still in uni, including joining debate exhibitions. Are those two debate
competitions I joined lately gonna be the last ones? Hopefully not. But then,
this motivates me to develop myself, to push myself to look for or even CREATE
the opportunities I want. Lesson learned!
