Writing a Thesis and Become The Fastest One!






Here I am! Back again! After struggled with thesis. I finally finished it!
The first!!!
I became first Indonesian Literature 2011 who finished the study. Congratulate me please? :p
So, I’ll give you a little story about my thesis and how was it.

I registered at September then I started in October (I used quantity).
I chose Lalita by Ayu Utami as my object and plot (Robert Stanton’s theory) as the tool for analyzing.

It was really hard because I can’t found what was the reason I chose my object, my preceptor always asked why why why. I knew the reason on my mind but I couldn’t write it.
It was really hard because I have to know the meaning every single word in that novel.
It was really hard because I have to stay focus.
It was really hard because many people annoyed me to play with haha.
It was really hard because Lalita is trilogy that I have to read all of them. So little time.
It was really hard because I have to research all by my self, no one can share about this, there wasn’t the same as me (the object and also the theory)
Damn baby. 

But thank God I got the best lecturer ever as my preceptor. He is Mr. Rudi Ekasiswanto. He taught me, gave a motivation also advice. Thanks Sir!
In my department, there is seminar before defense. I did on 29th December 2014  (I promised to my self to had a new year’s eve party after did that) and yes I did it. Not many people came to my seminar, only some. Cause I didn’t spread the news. No, I just didn’t want to. Ask me why? Cause hahaha bloody hell. 

When I made it for seminar means I’ve finished my thesis. I finished it for only 3 months!
Wanna know it?
You just have to deal with it!
In life I always make a deadline!
So, I can push my self and stay focus.
When I dream about something, I go crazy, I hard work, and let Allah SWT do the rest!

I revised it less a month, then I finally registered for thesis defense. Meanwhile I knew my preceptor didn’t believe me yet haha nekat!
The day was on 28th January 2015 I officially Bachelor of Arts in Indonesian Sarjana Sastra.
After it, I heard that examiner at first didn’t believe me. They were thinking that I was usual student. Sorry I’m not, I’m the best haha and see Sir and Madam? :p
I thank to Allah SWT that make my dream come true.
Fyi, I really can’t believe that I can make it a long long way before the deadline that I made it.
Also, my lecturer whom my preceptor told me that mine will be an example in the lecture! It’s a pleasure......... Thanks Allah SWT! 
Thank you for people who always support me. Without you all I couldn't make it!

Many people asked me, how come Salsa do that?
Many people don’t believe me.
Many people underestimate me.
This is it! I prove to the people who really love me.
.
When I was writing my it, I did some course and I still had some classes. I took 5 classes.  
But yes I didn’t play much, I didn’t hang out with my friend much, I didn’t active too much on social media.
Do workout? Of course! Cause workout give me some strength, metabolism, and also health then I can keep writing and working.

That was an amazing several months I had.
I knew many people more amazing than me.
But, I just proud of my self!
I believe in itself.
I prove it!
For people still thinking I CAN’T please you will be that forever!
SAY I CAN FOR EVERYTHING I DO!
FOCUS!!!

Thank you for read my story! Have a great day!

Wanna know after I graduated? Don’t move! I will tell you ASAP! ;)


XOXO, Salsa!

First Time Climbing a Mountain! Merbabu Indonesia!


11-12 September 2014
WAAAAS a great great 2 days!!!!

As a young and healthy women off course I'm so proud and yes to itself  #pardonmynarsis 
But I'm nothin' without 7 boys!
I can mention it all
I'm lucky to have the best men ever after my dad. He is Artyo Wicaksono.
And 6 others Faiz Irsyad, Bintang, Saki, Razi Akbar, Hilmans Oktaviansyah, and Muhammad Fahri.
They are all my team!

 Still fresh.

 Gate.

Starting point at Selo Track. Selo Track near Ketep Pass (you can browse on google maps).
We arrived at 11 am base camp Mas Bowo. We had lunch noodles (while I'm not eat this, but yeah I make an exception) 
After we prayed and cleaned themselves at 12 am we were ready to go!
Cause for me and some others were first timer so I did really well. Well at? Laughing haha.

In the beginning, I was very weak. I even couldn't carry my own backpack. Geez, wasn't heavy though. 
From the gate till first post we walked for almost 2hours. Quiet long time. 
At this post, I felt strong and God gave me a super power but still I can't be a superhuman. 
Btw, in the Selo Track there aren't water sources so you have to bring a water sufficient.

Post 1 till post 2 further than base camp to the post 1, oh myyyyy but it felt like I enjoyed every step and every moved. 
Like we used to walked and felt happy. 
Some of my friend, played song and we sang happily.
 We really enjoyed! Really! 
Oh ya, I don't know why I just loved doing like this. I don't need shame in front of people.
 Pee every where, also eat without any manner, and I could eat everything without count calories cause it burn fast. 
I love it. Getting closer with each other, u shared everything (said Aryo and he's also said but not my girl) hahaha.
U helped each other. I suggest u to go to the mountain if u want to getting closer with someone.
Maybe you wanna get back into old love or u wannabe his/her lover?
Trust me that's really works hahahaha kidding no its serious :p 
 
  Post 1.

  Rest before post 2.

Okay next, terrain was getting crazy. But in the middle of a bit climbing we enjoyed sunset!
 We were in the air!!! We saw clearly Merapi Mountain! 
What a view! I just can't say anymore, could someone made this? 
No, this was made by Allah SWT (in my religion) really I was so speechless. 
I think I knew that why people love to go to the mountain. Cause no one could paid a scenery like this.
 
Sunrise and us.

 
Saki in the air.

Finally we arrived at Sabana 1, 6.30 pm. We took a rest and saw a beautiful stars in the sky.
 I felt that sky and stars were only 10 cm above me. Oh my..... The best ever. 
The night has come. We walked in the middle of darkness but take it easy baby we had a beautiful stars also head lamp. 

 Taken picture in the day of 12th Sept 2014.

From Sabana 1 to Sabana 2 the terrain getting harder and harder, but we helped each other we made a bridge. 
Yeah Sabana 2! Last post to go to the summit or the peak of Merbabu Mountain. 
 
 Camp here. 

We arrived at 7.30 pm. So, been 7,5 hours we walked +rest. I even couldn't imagine at the first but alhamdulillah. 
Artyo and some of my friends made a tent. And some others including me made a fire for cooked some food. 
I felt very cold, I couldn't stand any more so I decided to sleep. 
For tomorrow am ready to go to the peak of Merbabu Mountain.
