August 21th, 2018
It was Tuesday, we were free for today because we celebrated Eid al-Adha for moslem. In the Philippines, we celebrated earlier than Indonesia. Moslem in Indonesia celebrated their Eid al-Adha on Wednesday August 22th, 2018. But, the President of Philippines was decided that Eid al-Adha would be held on Tuesday, August 21th, 2018. So, we hadn’t been scheduled for today. But we needed to buy something in the grocery or supermarket because there was a kitchen in our dorm and to save our money. So, all student teachers decided to buy some things to cook, such as rice, vegetable, egg, condiment, meat, and others. We went to CSI supermarket at 8 am. We walked to go to the market because it was near from our dorm. We just needed to walk about 5 minutes. We also went to the market with our buddy, so they always accompanied us and never left us alone because they were worried about us. This was not our country, so we had to be careful. The representatives of my dorm were Yasinta and I, the buddies who accompany us were Maki and Ron. They were very kind and friendly. They explained to us whatever we asked about and they knew about this city very well. When we had trouble with our list which we needed, we took Maki to accompany us and found our needs. He helped us patiently. And when we got all our things, we went back to our dorm.
In the afternoon, each buddy accompanied us to walk around the campus for introducing and giving us information about Pangasinan State University and the whole area in Bayambang campus. There were many colleges, i.e. main building, elementary school, secondary school, Library, Language Department, Nursing Departement, Science, Art and Technology Departement, and canteen. We enjoyed our journey in Pangasinan State University Bayambang campus. We were very excited about that despite of the unpredictable weather. Sometimes, it is rainy end then so hot for only 2 minutes distance. But that is okay for us because the buddy was also helpful.
At night, we got our dinner and this food was one of my favorit food. Each student teacher in my dorm bring their side dish from Indonesia. This was also my first time cooking rice in our dorm hahaa, finally we could eat indonesian food, emmmm it was very delicious.
