Penerimaan Abstract untuk First International Graduate Student Conference at Gadjah Mada University

Minggu pagi, saat membuka email, aku mendapat kabar menggembirakan dari Academy Professorship Indonesia tentang penerimaan abstract paperku untuk disampaikan pada First International Graduate Student Conference di Universitas Gadjah Mada pada tanggal 1-4 Desember 2009 nanti. Di bawah ini adalah surat pemberitahuan kepada saya waktu itu. Senang sekaligus deg-degan karena baru pertama kali mau jadi pemakalah tingkat internasional. Abstract Paper awalnya nanti aq posting lagi deh.
