Indahnya Ramadhan

Assalamualaikum.

Alhamdulillah, akhirnya kita masih diberi kesempatan untuk merasai nikmat Ramadhan pada tahun ini.

Ramadhan, satu-satunya bulan yang pasti dinantikan oleh mereka yang mencintai makna sebenar di sebalik bulan Ramadhan itu.

Ramadhan, bulan di mana didalamnya terdapat 1001 keberkatan, kenikmatan yang hanya betul-betul dikecapi oleh mereka ingin meraih tempat di syurgaNya nan indah.

Ramadhan kali ini bakal menyaksikan saya berpuasa hampir sebulan di kolej. Ramadhan akhir bersama kawan-kawan, mungkin ingin disambut dengan penuh makna dan pengisian.

Sebentar tadi menjelang 1 Ramadhan, kelas saya dan TESL B terpilih untuk menyediakan juadah bagi moreh pertama Ramadhan 1435 Hijrah. Alhamdulillah, terasa bahagia sekali pada malam ini.  Sungguh, memberi mereka para tetamu Allah makan menjadi sungguh bermakna. Terasa terselit satu kebahagiaan melalui perkongsian.

Semoga ukhuwah ini berkekalan hingga ke syurga. InsyaAllah.

Curriculum Studies

Look at the title. Too heavy to digest, right?
However, alhamdulillah that our cohort is given expert lecturers from the English Department to teach this subject. I don't know about other courses in our batch.

Just pray that all the subjects would be easy on us. Yet, too many things to be covered within these five months. Pray for our thesis seminar too which will be held on 23-25 of September 2014.

We have gone this far and why don't we just complete it successfully. :)

Three words: Good luck, TESLians!

Our Final Semester

All-time favourite line of college students has always been-

“Let this semester go, we will always study from the next semester! :p” and the next semester never comes

So as the next (new) semester has started, here are some of the to-do things which can help you to start the semester stress-free.

1)Manage your time. Have you heard this before? With so many assignment, internal exams and cultural events, you need to manage your time properly and stick to your time-table persistently. Try different techniques –reminders in your mobile, writing on paper or notepad etc.

2) Get your books – textbooks and notebooks. Its so confusing when you maintain only 1 book for all the 6 subjects, its just impossible to catch up. Make sure you maintain different books for different subjects.

3) Go through the syllabus and reference books list. Figure which subjects aren’t easy for you and for which you would have to join classes/take extra help from professors and friends.

4) Plan your finances for the semester (Industrial visits, college festivals, exam fees, books, parties etc.)so that you can focus on your studies during lectures and not worry throughout the semester.

5) Have fun and eliminate the ‘academic stress’ from your college life. Find hobbies, surround with good friends and positive people who will motivate you when you are down.

6) Have enough sleep (7-8 hours) and make sure you wake early in the morning. Eat proper food to be more energized.

7) Plan your timetable to attend lectures – which ones to attend and which ones to bunk so that you get 75% attendance in all subjects.

8) Start reading your textbooks (not by hearting). Reading the concepts and topics helps you to be prepared for class tests and reduces your exam fear.

9) Mentally prepare yourself for the semester by creating lists of assignments, exams and presentations. Write down all the dates and think how you will get it all done before the deadlines.

10) Go into each class with a positive attitude as your previous semester is not relevant. It’s time for a new start.

Good luck with our new semester! I know we’ll rock it . Go TESLians!
