So, it has already been about four months that I started living in a dorm in Makassar, South Sulawesi, to attend a series of training from my new office, Badan Pemeriksa Keuangan Republik Indonesia.
The training started on May the 2nd, and will continue until the beginning of October. During these training we got materials regarding to Civics and the organization's history and business process. Nonetheless, we also have to follow series of training on Finance and Accounting, which becomes a burden for me, because I never liked any of these subjects. We got around 18 weeks of training on Finance, Accounting, Auditing and Governmental Regulations on Financial matters. One word to describe all of this is, Boring. Because all we gotta do is listen to lectures from 8 to 5, Monday to Friday, and the most annoying thing is we have exams every two weeks. I even once had a remedial test for one of the Accounting classes.
One thing that makes everything easier around here is the friends, the people, my future colleagues. The people that share the same dreams, to work in this institution, to be an auditor, to create a better financial condition for Indonesia.
We share pretty much everything here. We spent almsot 24 hours together everyday, even on weekends. Somehow, this togetherness is the one thing I'll never forget from the process of my life. The new personalities I met, the new habits dan culture. The surprises I get from them. And most importantly, I have a new family here. A family of 77 people whose always trying to do their best every single day, even with sore eyes, unfit condition.
So, here I am, trying to enjoy and survive it's training. Still got around two months to go. Gotta keep my spirit raising high.
Cheers! :)
