series of unfortunate event???

Mood :

Music : Here i am to worship - Tim Hughes

Few, at last i can connect to the internet again because i broke the computer another day. Actually i didnt do nothing, the laptop just didnt want to load the window. It happened after i install and uninstall spybot search & destroy ( a spyware, adware, malware, etc tool removal ) and after that, it wont load the windows. There was a blue screen after window xp logo, then it restart the laptop automaticly. Luckily my sister know a friend that can fixed it ( actually i could do it to, since i dont have the software i could do nothing about it ) and now the laptop is back running healthy and smoothly. And for the internet connection, have a little problem here.

There was a lot thing happened since my last post, first is my birthday at 30 december, not many people know, the first people that congratulate me was my mother and my sister, and 2 of my friends in Indonesia Regi and Rian the day after by sms. Nightime we all ( me, my sister, jimmy and brix ) went ate outside. Went to Bucca di Beppo, an Italian restaurant that located in the central of city.

The day after that 31 december, there was nothing special about it, no celebration, no fireworks ( probihited in here ), and there werent any people in the road that celebrate new year. We went to the party to celebrate new year that held in joe's house, most of them are from ICF ( Indonesian Christian Foundation ), although not all of them are christian. We couldnt stayed long because my sister had to work the day after so we went home around 11 pm. There was nothing special happened at the time before new year, it seems like nothing happened just like ordinary day.

Around this week too, my sister took me to his church, Vineyard. The church itself it's very big, it has it's own bookstore, cafetaria, gymnasium ( if i'm not mistaken ), and maybe there is still others that i dont know yet. And also the church has it's own recording company, music stuff can be buy in the bookstore also. The process itself is different from our country, it's more open and simple, first we sing a couple of songs, and then speech, followed by praying and sing again. The song itself not like old traditional gospel that can make people bored ( no offense ), in here there is a genre called contemporary christian.

2 days after new year ( forgot what happened in those 2 days ), 3 january, winter class began. And at that day i received my ESL test, the score was good so i can straight go took ENGL 101 without taking ESL class. At that day too i took COMPASS/Math placement test, my result is sure bad, it scored 43/63 and recommended me taking MATH 101. After that we went to the advisor to seek advice. I took 3 classes : ENGL 101, MATH 103, and choose betwen ANTH 200 or HUM 111. Because i registered late, i must have the teachers signature to register the classes, same like the student who drop and add ( re-registered ) their classes.

Until today i only got 1 class, need 2 classes again to fullfill minimal credit hours that is 12. And all that couldnt happen without the help of my sister. Today we went to the campus at 8:00 am. We meet with the one of the international enrollment advisors, and she helped us a lot. She told us the go to each department and get their chairperson signature or the teachers. Sadly today is friday and the 2 other classes are in the monday to thursday, so our only hope was to get the chairperson signature and we couldnt got it. They said there is still next week, but for that we have to have the signature of both teacher and chairperson. And the only thing is wait for monday and just hope everything will go well.

Actually thats not all, but thats all that i can remember.
