Say Hi, 2016

So, In this new blog, I would like trying to share my stories start from 2016..

A year from my graduation on October 2014, I decided to take my plan seriously. I want to continue my study this year taking MSc programme at TU Delft, The Netherlands. So, in the early of 2016, I wrote several resolutions for this year.

Resolution #1, taking IELTS test. 

On January 9, 2016, I took IELTS test for the first time. Preparing since November 2015, I succeeded to reach my goal of IELTS test. Actually, I planned to take the test in the early of 2015, but for some reasons, I postponed the plan.

Thing that I regret from my earlier plan was focus in searching job experience, then preparing my study plan. It felt like I wasted several months waiting for my job application. So, in 2015, I was asked by 2 different companies, one for apprenticeship and  other for field engineer position. But, unfortunately, the employer canceled the offer and yeah, I wasted my time waiting for them. So, I decided to focus on my preparation for enrol to MSc Programme and Scholarships.

Resolution #2, Enrolment for Master Programme.

My long searching of my future study ended at MSc Programme at TU Delft. I enrol for Master of Applied Earth Sciences with the track on Geo-Engineering. I decided to enrol on this programme because it is a joint programme between Applied Earth Sciences with Civil Engineering. I think, the programme will allow me to take my future career in both mining and civil industries. And also, I involved in several projects related geotechnical engineering that make me curious to deepen my knowledge in this specialisation. After received my IELTS' result, I sent my application to TU Delft. I got an email about the application have been approved. Then, I need to wait approximately 6 weeks from the day it was approved for the decision whether I got the Letter of Acceptance or not.

Resolution #3, Enrolment for Scholarships.

In February 2015, I applied for Australian Awards Scholarship. It needed almost a year for the result. And in December 2015, I did not make it. So, I decided to apply for LPDP scholarship in January 2016. I passed the administration stage. It means I have to prepare myself for substantial selection on 10-12 January 2016. There will be 3 kinds of test; an essay on the spot, leaderless group discussion, and interview. Wish me luck! :)
