In the name of Allah, most Knowledgeable.
This is just a quick update -- I'm still not in the mood to write anything yet (I'm really, really sorry for that).
As of today, I am no longer a student. But I'm not yet a graduate though. I'm sort of in between the two - I am what you call a GRADUAND.
Here is the definition of graduand I found online:
(n.) A university student who has completed the requirements for, but has not yet been awarded, a particular degree.
This is one of the reasons why I love English: It has words for something in different context even though it originates from the same thing. Try find the meaning for 1) meteor, 2) meteoroid, and 3) meteorite. I hope you'll understand what I meant.
One more thing; Let me share the result of my 5 and a half year learning and improvising myself to be an English teacher: I passed the TESL course and will be rewarded with second-upper (2.1) class degree. Not too great, I know -- it's not like receiving a first class degree with honours or something. But still, it means a lot of things to me.
For this, I thank Allah and everyone who has contributed (directly or indirectly) and has made things easier for me throughout this 5-and-a-half year. I don't want to write any name here -- in fact, I can't. It would take me hours to list down all names.
"O Allah! I thank You for all the things You have given to me and beseech You to bless everyone who has helped me throughout this year. I pray for their happiness, prosperity and bliss in this life and the Hereafter."
-p/s: My "angka giliran" as a TESL student in IPBA is 0021 and I received 2.1 for my degree. I find that to be such beautiful "coincidence". :')
