Finally third semester in uni

Assalamu’alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh!

In shaa Allah I will write the special post on Raya next time :) I’m just not in the mood to write long post Hahaha because for sure, Raya post will be super long… I think.

So as the title up there says… my third semester has started. We are already going to the third week of the semester now. This semester’s module registration really stressed me out. I registered on GIS system for five nodules but when the result came out a week later; I only got three!! Seriously, I freaked out! Especially when I didn’t see LE (compulsory module) on the list! Not long after that, I learned that LE2 is not offered this semester, so everyone who registered for it didn’t get it. I feel a bit relieved. But still, I needed to get at least two more modules to get five modules altogether.

So on the first day of the semester, I met up with Azy early in the morning and we went to uni together. At that time I thought that add/drop procedure can still be done manually, but… no, they changed the way add/drop process works. We can only add/drop modules online!

Sigh.

So I had no choice but to add modules online. I added three modules (one as a back up) and soon after that one of them got approved which is an APB module. Alhamdulillah~ At least… 4 modules now. Just one more… one more module.

I really wished to be accepted to Japanese language module. I have learnt Japanese before, yeah, but I need to get into this module for the sake of increasing (or maintaining) my CGPA… Our CGPA for DY will be determined by this third semester so I really wish I could get the modules that I am confident in. And I am very confident with my Japanese language. I added the module online and I even wrote my name on the waiting list. I even went to Waff and asked him to drop the module so that a slot could be available. I really hope I could be accepted into the class.

Azy and Azreena added it too as their back up module. Days after that, I received text from Azy telling me that she got approved! Yes, Japanese language. Seriously, I was so depressed because mine was still pre-submission. I was so mad. I was like, “This is so unfair! I want to get the module more that she wants it!”

But I told myself to keep calm. Relax. I kept reminding myself that there is always a reason for something. I decided to believe in Allah. I know Allah has something for me :) But of course I couldn’t hide my depression and disappointment~ I think Azy felt guilty because she said to me that she would drop the module but I told her not to. I wanted to take in everything positively :) I tried to think for an excuse. So I thought to myself, “If…If Azy do not drop the Japanese module, she will learn a little bit of Japanese for the semester and then, she and I will be able to have a conversation in Japanese. I wouldn’t feel lonely anymore” and thank Allah, because with that in my mind, I am able to accept the fact that she got it, and I didn’t and it is for good.

However, it didn’t help me to stop feeling depressed and worried. I was still in need of one more module and it seemed like it was already impossible to be accepted into Japanese language. The other module I added was still in pre-submission status too.

I tried my best to live my life happily without showing as much worries on my face. I spent most of the time with Azy and Reena since the first day of the semester. It is funny that we have become a trio that cannot be separated :D These two babes are always fun to be with and I really enjoyed all the moments I have spent with them, even though sometimes I do feel left out~ Hahaha~

We were having a lunch at My Town restaurant one day (it was my first time and I really the love the concept of the restaurant!!) when Azy checked her GIS and found out that her submission to SP module finally got approved. I added the same module so I quickly checked mine as well and Alhamdulillah, I got approved as well. Same goes to Reena. All three of us got approved. Yay!! I finally have five modules!! Mission accomplished.

However, during SP lecture on Monday, I found out that Reena’s submission to Japanese language got approved too. Both Azy and Reena. Again, my spirit went down and I felt like punching a wall… “Why not me?” I thought to myself. I sighed for how many time during the lecture I am not sure, but I for sure sighed a lot. But Reena decided to drop the module… It was a good thing because that means ‘a chance’ for me to get it. But I was like very down that I didn’t care anymore at that time. Plus I have got five modules. So yeah, I was like… never mind… I don’t care anymore…

After the lecture, I followed Azy and Reena to Yuki-sensei’s office room; Azy wanted to ask about the class time table and Reena wanted to tell her about she dropping the module. While they talked, I just stood at the door, trying my best to smile. But then, Reena mentioned me to Yuki-sensei. She told her that I want to get into the class… Yuki-sensei was like, “The thing is…I have to follow the order of the names on the waiting list…”

I was still in my I-DON’T-CARE-ANYMORE mode until Reena suddenly said, “Oh! That’s her!” while pointing at a name on the waiting list paper.

And surprised!! It turned out that the next on the waiting line is my name. Yep. My name. Number 7. So because Reena dropped the module, I automatically am accepted now. They were like, “OMG, you are so lucky!”

So… YAY!!! I got the module!! Finally got the module I wanted all these times! It was unbelievable!! I never…. I never thought… Hahaha Alhamdulillah! Thank you, Allah!! I’m glad that I didn’t lose my patience :) Alhamdulillah. Allah was just testing me. Testing my patience :)

So in the end, I ended up with six modules. LOL! But I know I would not be able to cope with six modules… plus, I cannot risk it. This third semester is a very important semester… for our CGPA, for DY. So, I dropped one of the modules today. I dropped my major option and I am sure I have done the right thing.

In shaa Allah, I will do my best for this semester as well and get a good result :)

Bismillahirahmanirrahim~
