Magic Lantern
First Day
The first day in New Zealand was very happy. Tania breathed in fresh air with a calm mind.
No need to worry about her being threatened by a love triangle with Pras and Marsha. Not having to face Pras interference in the office.
But she is a woman. It is better to stay away and avoid in the face of distractions or temptations.
It could be one moment that his feelings are affected. And things turned around. He hurt Marsha. And he doesn't want that to happen.
Moreover, Pras himself also has a lot of experience chasing women. With the distance spread. He can maintain his good relationship with Pras and Marsha.
He rode his new bike. Put the dictate, the binder and the bag in the bicycle basket. The lunchbox contains a smoked beef sandwich of egg cheese with tomatoes, lettuce and cucumbers. It made itself. Buy bread, butter, smoked beef, cheese slice and mozzarella with halal label NZIDT. Walk the way to its vast campus. What a beautiful building. Green clumps here and there. Trees in addition to adding shade also make the eyes more comfortable and fresh.
Before the cooking class starts. He could not cook anything other than toast, sandwich or bread with jam or meises. Rice white with omelet or omelet or clutch. Instant noodles. Instant food.
Sometimes he was a little sorry. Why not learn to cook. If only he could cook. No need to take a cooking course. They can process their own food.
Tania put her bike in the bike parking lot. Bringing her bags, bags and bags to her locker. He only brought his writing utensils, binders and dictates. The rest is in the locker.
He has no friends yet. Social meeting at Darren's. No one has the same class as him.
He walked nervously. Looks enthusiastic new students and students face a new year of learning.
Entering his classroom with faces completely unfamiliar to him.
Feeling thrown from another part of the world. Not at all known to him.
“Are you know here?” A girl's law.
“I think we all new Meggie!” Someone who followed laughter.
“I mean she sees like awkward.” Meggie.
“Where do you from?” Ask a woman. Looks like a friend of someone called Maggie.
“Indonesia.”
“Indonesia?”
“Yeah.”
“What is your name?”
“Tania. And yours?”
“I am Kelly and this Meggie.”
“Margareth. But my friends and family used call me Maggie.”
“Yeah. See i. Nice to meet you guys.”
“Do you want to come to my house this weekend? I would like to make social gathering for our class. I think we need to know each other.”
“Yeah, sure. Thanks.”
“Can I have your number? We will invite you by whatsup.”
“Ok.Then.”
Kelly and Meggie were her first college friends. Like most New Zealanders. They are very friendly and warm.
They read the lecture carefully. Enjoy the discussion and questions and answers given by the lecturer at the end of the lecture.
The first class is the first task to be completed in a week. Accounting and Finance course.
They had lunch together in the campus cafeteria.
“Do you bring your own lunch?” Ask Meggie. Tania nodded her head.
Meggie ordered a double cheese burger, french fries and a soft drink. Coca cola's.
Kelly ordered a serving of tenderloin steak, smash potatoes and cold beer.
Tania put down her box. Take out a supply place and a bottle of drinks containing orange juice.
Bite his sandwich and chew it. Sorry about the orange juice.
“Waiting for the next lecture in about two hours. I want to go to the library. Doing the task earlier.” Meggie. Which idea was immediately approved by Tania and Kelly.
“Tan, do you want to join us to hang out tonight?”Ask Kelly.
“I am sorry I have to work from Monday to Thursday. From 17.00 pm until 21.00 pm.”
“Ok then's. Maybe you can join us in Friday?”
“Yeah, sure. I would love too.”
“Ok. Cool!”
Tania's nervousness is reduced. Making new friends makes it more comfortable. Slowly his awkward feelings diminished. Both of his new friends were great fun.
They were doing chores together in the library while discussing. Give each other input and point of view.
“What category of financial risk?”
“There are at least four risk included it.”
“Income risk, expenditure risk, asset or investment risk and credit risk.”
“Do you think insurance and build emergency fund effective to income financial risk?”
“Generally, yes.”
“I think we should share the assignment. Who is willing to analize the cases of default and claim denied of insurance?”
“I will do it.”Said Kelly, “I have many friends that working in insurance company.”
“Great!” Sahut Maggie,”I will take the cases of fulfillment of payment and approval of claims. You will do about analyzing cases of build emergency fund.”
“Ok.”Sahut Tania,”I am working as a staff freelancer of financial analysis.”
“Ok, then. We will discuss it later. After we finished doing the task.”
“Ok!”
Seconds by seconds passed. Without feeling an hour has passed. They are still engrossed in their literature and tasks that contain case studies.
Tania's headed for the shelf. Search for additional literature. While Kelly walked to the computer to find the literature criteria he was looking for. Researching the subject, title and author.
Meggie himself is still pursuing the literature he took. Sometimes he examines the table of contents.
A quarter of an hour before the hour indicates two noon. They hurriedly tidied up the literature they were reading and returned it to the shelves.
“The statistics of bussines decision subject will be performing. I didn’t want to be late for my first day.”
“Yeah! We better hurry..
The three of them quickly became familiar with each other. Coming almost simultaneously with lecturers who will give pre MBA courses, the statistics of bussines decision.
Lecture begins with introductions and references to literature used by lecturers.
Continued with a slide that contains a review of the introduction to statistics of bussines decision.
“We will vary statistical data analysis tools that can be used for effective decision making. Emphasis will be on the application of the concept learn to various managerial situations.”
Slide by slide is presented. Explanation using power point. Make the lecturer's explanation to be concise and easier to understand.
Sometimes the lecture is accompanied by humour that tickles and makes students laugh.
The lecturer presents a slide containing two images. One is shaped like a curve that forms the image of a mountain. Equipped with normal writing.
And below it. Ghost images with paranormal writing.
The people who were there laughed at the picture.
