Sidang Pertama

Assalamu'alaikum warrahmatullah wabarrakatuh

Haiii haiii akhiirnyaa aku sudah sidang Penulisan Ilmiah untuk setara D3. Alhamdulillah lancar berkat doa dan semangat dari keluarga dan teman-teman semua. Yup, tepat hari ini Selasa, 12 Juli 2011 pukul 09.00 saya sidang untuk jenjang D3 sebagai syarat Sarjana S1 saya. Huuaah rasanya sangat lega sekali setelah keluar dari ruangan yang menurut orang yang lewat situ sebagai "orang bisa" bukan sebagai peserta sidang diiingiin banged, tapi menurut kami sangat panas karena panik, hehehe.. 1 minggu sebelum sidang Saya pun belum mempersiapkan slide ataupun naskah yang harus dirangkap 3 untuk penguji, entah karena malas atau apa yang jelas rasanya pengen nanti-nanti aja mengerjakan itu semua.

Belum lagi tanggal 8 dan 9 Juli saya harus ikut PPMK outdor di puncak istilah untuk pelatihan anggota baru BEM FE. Makin dagdigduglah jantung berasanya seperti mau meledak kepala, mau terjun dari tingkat 3 kampus E, campur aduk deh pokoknya. Tapiii, Alhamdulillah sekali malam sebelum sidang saya banyak sekali sms doa dan semangat untuk mendoakan saya agar lancar dan bisa menjawab semua perntayaan- pertanyaan dari dosen penguji. Salah satu dari sms itu terdapat sms yang menurut saya sangat berguna bagi teman- teman semua yang memang baru pertama kali mau sidang seperti saya. Ini dia tipsnya :

1. Menguasai isi materi penelitian kamu karena otomatis itu buatan kamu kan;
2. Minta restu orang tua karena ini hal yang wajib kita lakukan sebagai anak yang berbakti;
3. Jangan tidur malam, karena takut ngantuk atau pusing kalau tidur sesuai aturan yang ada;
4. Menyiapkan Slide dan Soft Cover yang dibutuhkan, JANGAN LUPA masukkin ke dalam tas kkarena takut ketingglan;
5. Perlahan hilangkan sedikit demi sedikit rasa gugup dan kurang percaya diri karena itu yang membuat semua isi kepala bisa hilang;
6. 5-10 menit sebelum sidang usahakan ke kamar mandi (kalau bisa yang ada cerminnya) gerak-gerakkan mulut dengan mengucap ( SAYA BISA, PASTI BISA, YAKIN BISA) tanpa bersuara dengan melompat-lompat kecil (awas kepleset);
7. Dan yang terakhir dari saya BERDOA, ketika kita sudah berikhtiar lalu bertawakallah;

Mungkin itu sedikit cerita dari saya, semoga membantu teman-teman sekalian untuk menjalankan sidang pertama, kedua, bahkan ketiga.. hehehe

Jazakumullah khair
