I ran away with it and I did so on purpose. I told them I just wanted to see my certificate, take a picture and send it to my parents. Therefore I visited the graduate office to confirm one more time about our certificates (Merisha was in Japan attending an international conference with our professor). The normal procedure is, when a student returns the graduation gown to the graduate office, they exchange it for their certificate. 22, 2013, about 30 minutes before the ceremony was to begin, someone from the department office phoned to inform me that I could not receive my certificate that day, explaining that my professor wanted to personally present it after he returned to Korea three days later. They are myself, Elvira Fidelia Tanjung, and my lab mate, Merisha Hastarina. The day full of smiles makes it easy to forget the many tedious hours of homework, reports and term papers that characterized our study time.īut that is not happening for two Indonesian students who studied at the Gyeongsang National University (GNU) majoring in mechanical engineering during the course of their master's program.

Graduation day is one of the most awaited days for every student.
