My happy life in Virginia

Enthusiastically Written by : Ega Erma Sandrianie
Blacksburg, Virginia is a beautiful city that I have ever seen. I have been in Blacksburg for more than four weeks. Thanks to Allah who made easy for me by means of  The Scholarship which has brought  me to this beautiful city. I lived in Chelsey court 2528, Blacksburg Virginia. Guys, Let me tell you something.  Blacksburg is  students’ city. In Blacksburg lies Virginia Tech University. Several Virginia Tech buildings are separated in every place in Blacksburg.

 Now I am going to describe about my dwelling, my class and my professors. Let me describe it all just for you.

   This is my yard. I lived in Chelsey  court, Blacksburg Virginia. You can see that there are many leaves scale off. It is because at that time, two weeks ago was fall season. Now, the winter is coming, so all of the leaves dropped off.

 Everyday, I go to campus in LCI (Language Center Institute) by bus. On the picture Here, You can see that it is my bus stop. The name of the bus stop is Hethwood B. It is because the bus that pass my house is Hethwood B. This bus stop is around ten meters from my house. Hethwood B usually comes every 15 minutes. If I miss the bus, I have to wait the next bus. It will take 15 minutes to arrive my campus.

What's Wishful thinking?

Wishful thinking is when you really believe that your wishes or desires will become reality just because you desire them so much. It is the mistaken belief that what you wish for is actually true.

Examples:

I wish to be rich and therefore I will be. It will just happen and I won't have to work for it.
The world owes me a living because I say so.
I will get all A's even if I don't study because I deserve them and I'm a good person.

For other uses, see Wishful thinking (disambiguation).

Wishful thinking is the formation of beliefs and making decisions according to what might be pleasing to imagine instead of by appealing toevidence, rationality or reality. Studies have consistently shown that holding all else equal, subjects will predict positive outcomes to be more likely than negative outcomes (see valence effect).

Donald Lambro described wishful thinking in terms of

“the fantasy cycle” ... a pattern that recurs in personal lives, in politics, in history – and in storytelling. When we embark on a course of action which is unconsciously driven by wishful thinking, all may seem to go well for a time, in what may be called the “dream stage”. But because this make-believe can never be reconciled with reality, it leads to a “frustration stage” as things start to go wrong, prompting a more determined effort to keep the fantasy in being. As reality presses in, it leads to a “nightmare stage” as everything goes wrong, culminating in an “explosion into reality”, when the fantasy finally falls apart.^[1]

Yang Unik,Menarik dan Aneh pas Ane jalan-jalan ke INdia dan Bangladesh

Bismillahirrahmanirrahim.

Assalamualaikum.

Berikut ini adalah beberapa poin yang unik,menarik dan aneh pas saya bulan januari -feb 2011 di india dan Bangla.

1. sering orang bilang India negara yang miskin dan kumuh (kokehan nonton pilem :) tapi tiap hari orang sana makan roti dan daging sapi.daging sapi per kilo 100 rupee atau kira-kira Rp.20 ribu.orang miskin dan pengemis biasa makan roti, daging dan minum susu.

2. ga ada satupun tukang parkir kalo kita ke toko2 .

3. minum susu campur teh (chay) adalah kebiasaan umum.

4. makan sirih (jawa=nginang) adalah kebiasaan umum baik tua maupun muda. (blas ra gaul cah :)

5. orang india punya produk kebanggaan nasional yaitu mobil dan truk merek TATA. bentuknya mengerikan dan superjelek tapi mereka bangga bisa bikin kendaraan sendiri termasuk bemo dan bajaj.

6. di new delhi india, krambil atau buah kelapa yang sudah tua dijajakan di jalan2 ditawarkan ke pengemudi mobil-mobil mewah. kalo di tempat kita mungkin dianggap marai kreminen/cacingan?

7. Bangladesh mayoritas muslim makanya kalo cari kopiah yang modelnya unik2 carilah di bangladesh

8. anak SD/primary school dan SMP/secondary school udah pinter2 speaking in English. maklum mereka di sekolah diajar dengan bahasa pengantar bahasa Inggris.

9. setiap masjid ada hafidz Qur'an. sehingga setiap masjid adalah pesanten. saya pernah jumpa anak SD yang hafal 4 juz al Qur'an padahal dia tinggal di kota yang padat seperti Calcutta. yang begini biasa disana karena banyak yang hafidz Qur'an

A kind of sweet warning for me

sungguh menarik apa yang dikatakan oleh pak abdullah faishal (kayaknya saya pernah jumpa) yang mengatakan di shoutbox blog saya BLOGNYA PAK FAY dengan komentar yang sangat inspiratif bahwa saya " ilmunya dangkal tetapi berani berbicara mengenai hal yg vital". sebuah ungkapan kritik yang membuat saya justru tersadar akan kelemahan-kelemahan saya selama ini..
berikut ini adalah hasil kontemplasi saya atas kritik tersebut:

LET'S CEKIDOT AND CEKERAP THE ELABORATION ABOUT HOW TO MAKE A GOOD GRADUATING PAPER PROPOSAL...

Subject: The Existence of God

A man went to a barber shop to have his hair and 

his beard cut as always. He started to have a good 

conversation with the barber who attended him. 

They talked about so many things and various subjects. 

Suddenly, they touched the subject of God. The barber said: 

"Look man, I don't believe that God exists as you say so." 

"Why do you say that?" asked the client. "Well, it's so easy, 

you just have to go out in the street to realize that 

God does not exist. Tell me, if God exists, 

would there be so many sick people? 

Would there be abandoned children? 

If God exists, there would be no suffering nor pain. 

I can't think of a God who permits all of these things."
