Kehidupan Budak Matriks 2020/2021
Hi and Assalammualaikum. Today is 10th June, the day where the pro max batch getting their SPM2020 result. Me on the other hand, around 1 hour and 10 minutes to go, will be experiencing my first ever video call interview for my medschool admission. Truthfully speaking, it is nerve wrecking and I couldn't think straight but I need to kill my time and hence, here I am.
Oh by the way, I took Program Satu Tahun / Sistem Dua Semester under Module 1 for my matriculation program. So I just finished my studies at matriculation right before we celebrate Eid. Okay, let's jump to my first semester last year.
For the first batch that undergo COVID19 season, we applied a system with online learning and face to face learning. The timetable was packed, but we tend to be more relax during the lecture classes as we just need to go to the Youtube, and watch the video related. We just have face to face classes, when it is for tutorial session, where there would be a lecturer that teach us. For first semester, it lasted like 2 months at the college and by then, we have to go back home ( PKP stuff ) and hence, ODL ( open and distance learning ) for the rest of semester before we back to college, just for sitting final examination (PSPM 1)
At first, I lost track with watching video and boom you enter class and the lecturer will straight away do exercises/practices. It's like " Eh, you didn't teach anything and right away ask us to do?" But actually, that's how tutorial class suppose to be. The video-watching is for you to understand the syllabus ( which are not that helpful anyway ) and at the end, it just learning by your own self. You want to understand more? You read more. You ask more. You search more.
Yeapp, that's how I learned. For the first two months, I usually spent my times with my two besties at library. While at home, I will make sure I have the typical study environment despite space limitations and how bad the connection was. Tutorial class were conducted through Google Meet and amazingly enough, somehow my bond with other classmates were 'clicked' enough, Alhamdulillah. We had fun, getting scolded and more.
That's pretty sum up how I went through my study life at matriculation during my first semester. Second semester went the same way just like how I mentioned earlier, during the first two months as we were at college. What brought disheartened to everyone were, our holiday got shorten, our final date got bringing earlier than it is suppose to be, classes from Monday to Saturday with 8 to 6 for the sake of finishing the syllabus, we couldn't go out to go home or even outing, and basically your life is just inside the college. Bond making with your friends.
I guess that's all I should said. Seniors said, our batch is not fun at all compared to them but things turned out that way anyway, so yea. For those who don't know what you want to be yet, Matriculation/STPM/Foundation might be your place and plus it is fast track, where you do not waste 3 years for diploma taking. But whatever it is, everyone have a choice for your own life. Choose your life track wisely and don't be discourage with your choices as you are in God's hands! Don't worry and all the best :D
