Sastra Perancis UNPAD

Aku sekarang kuliah di jurusan sastra Perancis UNPAD.Mungkin kebanyakan orang berpikir sastra itu mudah...Tapi kenyataannya tidak. Ilmu dari segala ilmu adalah filsafat, setelah itu dibawahnya adalah logika, dan dibawahnya adalah sastra, setelah itu lalu cabang-cabang ilmu lainnya.Untuk mendapatkan gelar doktor di jurusan sastra sangatlah sulit, tidak semudah jurusan kedokteran, psikologi, ekonomi atau ilmu2 lainnya. Sastra tidak sekedar mempelajari bahasa, tapi lebih dari itu. Ketika aku ingin memilih jurusan untuk SPMB, aku putuskan memilih sastra Perancis UNPAD di pilihan kedua karena aku sangat ingin bisa berbahasa Perancis, bahasa yang sangat romantis dan elegan menurutku. Tapi Om ku berkata, "les aja bahasa Perancis kalo mau bisa bahasanya." tapi aku juga ingin mempelajari kebudayaan dan sejarah Perancis, sebuah negara yang punya pengaruh besar di Eropa dan dunia.

15 Maret 2012, Saya Sidang Skripsi dan Menjadi Sarjana!

Seminggu sebelumnya... Saya, Mela, Bunga, Sheira dan Nene (Elia) sedang jalan kaki di gerbang UNPAD hendak keluar dari kampus. Tiba-tiba Sheira teriak : « Ayy, nih telepon dari Icha ! ». Lalu saya ambil handphone Sheira dan mendengarkan suatu kabar yang sangat mengangetkan bagi saya : « Rick, jadwal sidang kita dimajuin ! Jadi tanggal 15 ! », kata Icha. Perasaan saya bercampur aduk, sangat kaget sekaligus senang ! Ketika saya lihat handphone saya, ternyata ada miss called dari Icha. Saya kaget karena dua hari sebelumnya saya pasang status di Facebook « Ya Allah, semoga Kau memberikan kado terindah untuk ulang tahun saya di tahun ini. » Saya tersadar, mungkin itulah jawaban dari Tuhan. Seharusnya saya dan Icha sidang tanggal 28 Maret tetapi dimajukan 2 minggu jadi tanggal 15.
