Rasanya Kuliah Online
Sejak hari aku ujian proposal tesis, which is hari terakhir kampus unair beroperasi karena harus dihentikan akibat pandemi virus corona, seluruh mahasiswa kuliah secara online, via zoom atau google meet atau apapun yang lainnya, you name it, intinya kita gak saling temu.
Rasanya gimana kuliah online? Well, honestly, it sucks.
Kuliah online sangat tidak produktif, banyak distraksi, kuliah tidak tersampaikan sebaik tatap muka langsung, terlalu banyak tugas tanpa pembahasan materi yang jelas. Memang awalnya enak karena bisa balik ke rumah masing-masing dan gak perlu ke kampus, tapi lama-lama kuliah online gak memicu niat dan motivasi untuk bener-bener belajar. Sedikit banyak mahasiswa dan dosen depresi karena ancaman corona, bosan dirumah aja, butuh lebih banyak interaksi sama orang lain secara langsung untuk berkembang, yang berujung kemalasan. Sulit untuk stay positive and stay productive, seriously. Hardly to maintain all the positive vibes. Tapi mau gimana lagi? It's the best solution we can get. Tetap kuliah walaupun tidak begitu menghasilkan. Berusaha tetap berproses dan berkembang walau kita dibatasi oleh jarak dan hidup dalam sebuah gelembung.
Kuliah online is one thing, Nesis online is another thing.
Kalau kuliah online aja sangat-sangat malas dan setengah hati, apalagi ngerjain tesis! Seriously, this is not what I was planned! I planned to finish my thesis at least one month after the proposal, but now it's almost two months since and I'm not done yet. Not kidding. It's a war. Battle between my tiny productive-self and the big laziness and procrastination. Every night I promised myself that I will do my thesis in the morning and making some progress but ended up waking up late and not doing anything about it. Not to mention, the difficulty of looking for bahan-bahan hukum untuk menganalisis rumusan masalah, gak ada perpus sama dengan gak ada contoh, gak ada contekan bahan, gak ada inspirasi, gak ada komparasi. I am on my own. Just me, and the internet.
Sungguh, untuk lulus butuh niat yang besar untuk menyelesaikan semua. Corona mungkin bakal lama. Aku sendiri optimis pandemi ini baru akan selesai awal tahun 2021, which is we have 8 months left until the world is better. Aku gak bisa nunggu corona selesai. Kita gak bisa nunggu corona selesai. Selama corona kita harus tetap berprogress. Kita harus tetap jalan meski satu atau dua langkah, setidaknya sedikit lebih dekat, daripada berdiam dan tidak ada langkah sama sekali. Ya kan?
I know I will have some motivated days dimana aku akan bangun pagi, stick to the plan for the day, doing what I have to do, and actually making progress. But I also will have some lazy days dimana aku terlalu malas untuk melakukan apapun. Contohnya aja hari ini, which is hari pertama Ramadhan and I got my first period and it fucking hurts and I don't want to do anything, literally anything at all. I just keep on scrolling, listening to music, taking long naps, sitting in the balcony wondering when corona will be gone, and for once today I do something meaningful, writing my personal blog. Dan dua jenis hari itu adalah hari yang biasa. Hari yang dimaklumi dan dapat diterima. I won't be too hard on my self, I promise. This is not a competition against yourself, this is a way of living while surviving.
If you somehow, reading this and we're not done with corona yet, I hope you're okay. I hope you're in your home, with your family, with your spouse, have something to eat and that's all that matters now, right? Help others in need, if you could. If not, stay alive, stay home.
See you in after-corona life!
