School Life

Hi there, how are you? Well, today i want to tell you about my daily life at school.

Are you ready?

I'm a senior high schooler at SMAN 3 Bandung. I'm a ten grader. My class is X Science 4. I feel grateful that i am a part of this class. This class is very fun. Everyday I laugh because of my friends in this class.It's a warm class, and I really enjoy my day here. Well, I don't know what do the other feel, but I think they'll think the same.

My class is on the second floor, on the corner near the stairs. Most of people say that my clas is the biggest class, compared with the other classes of ten grader. There are 33 students which is part of this class. 15 girls, and 18 boys. The students of this class is very friendly, and easy-going. This class can be quite noisy when we're debating about something, or maybe just because we're singing together around the break time. We call our class with "Pesen PHD", which mean "Persatuan Sepuluh-empat Pelajar Harapan Dunia". Cool, right? :) 

Sometimes our class arguing too much and disturb the other, but that's how we show our togetherness, our love and our care-each-other. We do our best to make our parents, our teacher and other people feel proud of us, and we'll try our best to not dissapoint them. Our beloved homeroom teacher, Mrs. Dewi is our Art teacher too. She's very kind and very patience to  guide us, to teach us, so we won't do any mistake in the future. I'm glad that she's our homeroom teacher. Oh yeah, i forgot something. Our class also won the choir competition in the Nagabonar pra-event. It's a little bit surprise, but also make us very happy.

Talking about school, of course we're also talking about scores, exam, homework......well, kind of them. Everyday in SMAN 3, we have homeworks and homeworks, plus quiz, plus project, and tada! the final exam haunt the mind of students here. It's really hard to do all of the tasks, moreover this is the first time for us the tenth grader to feel the "senior high school life". We study and fight together, so it doesn't feel too hard, try to enjoy everything that happens. At least, now we already feel it and it will be lessons for us in the future. I don't really like to talk about scores, exam, and the others, so lets just skip this, hehe.

At SMAN 3, we can choose extracurricular according to our interests and talents. There are lots of extracurrirular, so it'll take a long time if I tell you one by one. Now, I will tell you about extracurriculars that i joined. First is KPA 3. The full name is "Keluarga Paduan Angklung 3". Why do I join this extracurricular? What's the special thing about this group? Hmm....At first, I don't really interest to join this group of angklung. I don't think that playing angklung will be very fun, I only think that it will be boring and very tiring. But after I saw this group play several songs with thier angklung, I was very surprised and just then, I want to be the part of  KPA 3. Simple, right? KPA 3 is full of friendly people, they consider me  (and my friends) as their family. The seniors and the alumni of KPA 3 teach us and told us valuable lessons that will help us to be better on the next day. We enjoy playing angklung even though the songs are very hard, but from all of that we got a lot of valuable experience. The second (and also the last) is DKM Al-Furqan or Dewan Keluarga Masjid Al-Furqan. We can learn lots of lessons, and the mentors, the seniors also friendly to us. We remind each other, study together, and slowly try to change to be a better person together. We also very open and close each other, already feels like a family.I don't regret that I joined these extracurricular, and I'm very proud that i am part of these extracurricular.

SMAN 3 is full of fun events, made by OSIS or school's programs. Two days ago, all of the tenth grader were camping at Bumi Perkemahan Kiarapayung Jatinangor. It's called CAMPRT ( Camping Pramuka Tiga). It's very fun, really. We also have MT-PAI(Mentoring Terintegrasi Pendidikan Agama Islam) which is very fun and very meaningful because we can learn something new, and be reminded to stay on the 'right ways'. There are also Cultural Festival, and another events that held to commemorate important days.

I don't regret anything about being a student here in SMAN 3. I'm very proud and I really enjoy my daily life at school. Maybe it's hard sometimes, but I believe that with hardship indeed there is ease. So, just enjoy your day and do your best. Keep Fighting!!!!

Her hobby is reading, and her favorite subject is Reading Al-Qur'an ( she said that she loves reading al-Qur'an, but not really like the religion subjects). Her favorite food is Palembang's traditional food, pempek. Ah yes. She is a student from X Science 3 class, SMAN 3 Bandung. Well, she hopes that someday she will be a doctor someday.

The last one, Maya Anisya. She is so energetic and very hyperactive. She looks fun, and very friendly. Well, i had no time to ask about her date of birth or her siblings. So i just ask her some question. She lives in Bandung with her family. She said that her father and her mother is busy, so they're not always at home. She likes to eat, and sleep. She has a lot of favorite food, and she likes to buy yamien and meatball that sell in front of  EF BKR. She is a student from X Science 5, and her dream is to be a pilot someday. 

Well, that's all abopout my new friends. I hope, one day I can ask more questions and get to know them better. Thank you, see you later : )

It's all about me!!!

Hello everyone! This is my first time posting on blog:)  so I say thank you to you who read this. Now, I'm going to tell you about me, and my daily life.

Ok, let' start. My full name is Blandina Tsanarayya Amarantha. You don't need to call me by that full name, because most of my friends call me Mara. I was born on January the 10th 2000. Now, i'm 15 years old, and i just got into senior high school.

I like music a lot, and i feel like music is my life. I can play one or two music instruments, but for me, it's not enough. I always feel curious to study the other music instruments. I want to know what is the difference of each instruments, and that's why i want to study all of them. Well, maybe it'll take a long time, but it's okay for me, as long as i enjoy it. I do love reading, too. I collect many kinds of books. Novel, comic, sci-fi, encyclopedia, ang many more. But i love novel the most, because in novel, there's some words or sentences that can motivate us, and it's really fun when i can find a new quotes from each novel that i've read. Besides reading, i love drawing too. And because of that, i really like art. 

The truth is, I only good enough on drawing, not in coloring or paint something. The type of my drawing object is manga, japanese art for drawing people. I hope that someday i can balancing my drawing talent with coloring talent (?), so i can make a good painting. And I really wish i can draw with another technic. Since I was on the elementary school (grade 6 ),  i like to make a comic. But until now, none comics have finished. Do you know why? the answer is simple, that's because when i want to continue the comics, i already forgot what i want to draw, and what story that i want to make :)

I live in  Bandung. I live with my father, mother, my little sister, and my aunties. My father work as a construction manager on a popular companies ( well, i don't mean to be arrogant about this). And my mother is a housewife, take care of me and my family. My little sister just got into junior high school, and she's 12 years old. My house is surrounded by my aunties houses. So when you visiting my house, don't be surprise if there's a lot of people. I'm really happy that i was born in this family, and i will never regret it. Thanks to God that gave me such a warm family, so I always feel happy and comfortable with them.

Start a new period of school is very nervous for me. I always worried about my new friends, my lessons, my teachers and the other things before I entered this school. In my opinion, I'm not reallly good on having a new friends, or adaptation on a new environment. At first i feel afraid that i won't have a good friends here. But it's different now. After studying and being a new student for more than one week, slowly but surely, I feel comfortable. I feel very thankful that i have kind and fun classmates. Everyday is very fun and interesting, so I can remember the moments. I'm not talking that i'm very  thankful with the homeworks and exams, of course. You already know about how stressful and tiring if we're talking about two of them. My favorite subject is art. I enjoy every subjects as long as i can, so i don't think that i hate or dislike some subject at school. I'm not really good in sports, but i'll try my best to get a best score. I joining the Germany class, and the English class (extra). On those classes i got new friends and know each other. I don't think that school things are bad, because i have my friends on my side, so we'll pass them together and help each other.

I think that's enough for my introduction. Than you, see you later on my next post :)

With love,

MARA
