K2N

Tahun 2011, kak dika nyeritain pengalamannya ikut K2N. Hari itu juga gue bertekad buat nyoba daftar K2N tahun depan dan jadi salah satu target yang harus capai sebelum lulus kuliah. Well, kenapa gue segitu pengennya ikut K2N ini? Beda dengan kampus-kampus lain, K2N di UI ga jadi satu kewajiban dan hanya orang-orang terpilih yang bisa ikut kegiatan pengabdian ini. Tempatnya? Hoo.. Garis terluar Indonesia! Tapi sayang sekali, tahun lalu ada mata kuliah mps-amp-mpa dan ada turun lapangan penelitian bulan Juni tahun lalu. Temen-temen gue di GC, rahmat-ema-ican, lolos dan gue semakin memantapkan diri buat daftar K2N tahun ini.

Sayang, tahun ini gue ada mata kuliah magang.. Well, gue tetep ngirimin esai. Kalaupun emang lulus gue bisa nunda magang ke semester depan. Oh, tahun ini tujuan K2Nnya ke maluku dan papua. Maluku dan papua! World knows both are heavens in Indonesia. And I am not just talking about Papua-papua. But Raja Ampat-Papua!! Sampai akhirnya, waktu nelpon mamapapa (biasa, anak rantau) dan bilang kalo libur semester ini ada magang dan K2N di maluku papua, papa bilang gue urus buat magang aja, K2N jauh..

Yaah, di sinilah dilema gue dimulai. Gue tetep daftar magang dan mulai ngelupain K2N. Berpikir ga mungkin lolos seleksi esai karena gue merasa isinya ga bagus dan gue lupa nyantumin sumber. Tapi, apa yang gue dapet tanggal 1 Mei kemaren? Gue lolos seleksi esai! Waktu itu di kelas AKN, Rina ngasih tau kalau gue lolos seleksi esai dan satu kelas kasih selamat, disalamin. Hari itu gue berasa berhasil nemuin mesin waktu, bangga! Dan gue satu langkah lebih deket ke target gue, ikut K2N UI. Ruli, Dewi, dan Dhika dari negara A ternyata juga lolos. Oke, gue makin yakin buat serius di seleksi wawancara. Terus, magang gimana? Papa gimana? Gue berniat buat ngasih tau papa kalau gue bener-bener udah lolos semua tahap seleksi, karena kemungkinan gagal di tahap ini juga ada. Tapi, jujur gue ngerasa optimis dan yakin bakal lolos tahap ini, yang ternyata salah besar.. Setelah dua kali bolak balik buat wawancara, kehujanan, dan nunggu berjam-jam..

Semalem, Mei ngasih tau kalau pengumuman seleksi wawancara udah keluar, dan.. Ga ada nama gue. Haha. Haha. Haha. Perasaan gue ga jelas. Sedih? Pasti. Seneng? Bisa juga..

Sedih karena ga lolos. Ga jadi K2N. Ga jadi ngalamin berbaur sama masyarakat kaya di Brebes atau waktu gue ikut UI Desal. Ga jadi ke timur Indonesia, yang bakal jadi titik terjauh gue di negara ini. Ga jadi dapet temen baru. Ga jadi..

Seneng karena ga perlu susah payah izin ke mamapapa. Seneng karena beberapa anak graffiti juga magang di jakarta. Seneng karena ga perlu repot ngurus persiapan ke sana (maunya langsung, *tring* sampai!)..

Sigh.. Kenapa gue ga lolos? Mungkin semesta tau ini yang terbaik buat gue. Mungkin semesta mau ngasih hadiah lain. Atau mungkin semesta tau gue terlalu optimis dan menjatuhkan gue. Atau karena gue ga bisa renang? Hh..

A Story of Unsuccessful Romance: Chapter 1

 I Saw You Across The Classroom I would've never thought that the moment I saw him for the first time across our classroom was the moment that I would remember for the longest time. I was just a 14 year old kid who like pretty people with pretty eyes. Little did I know I would think over him over the years.. I got accepted to one of reputable public high school in my city, barely. My name was at the bottom of selection results, like, the last 5 people who got in to this school. Nevertheless, I was excited, of course. It was my dream to be a student here since it would help me path my way to go to reputable universities in the future. Back then, this school had two special programs, the acceleration program where you could study in high school for two years, and the international program - where you (were supposed to) learn all the subjects in English. I just finished my orientation and I was initially studying at grade X (ten) - 3. My mom, who was a high school teacher herself in a...

amazing weekend

I went to Kota Tua and Monas last Friday with my housemates. I actually doubted that I could go there considering that I still had remaining undone tasks that had to be done. but since I've had the busiest week ever in May (meetings, assignments..), I decided to leave it and grab the rarest chance ever, spending time with my housemates, since we have this unmatched schedule. so we went to Kota Tua and we took a lot (trust me, A LOT) of photos with Laura's camera ;) and when the twilight touched this part of Indonesia, we set our feet to trans jakarta shelter and headed to Monas. even when hadn't touch the front gate of Monas, we already took so many pictures! hahaha you can imagine when a bunch of girls holding a camera.. we just can't hold the passion of taking pictures.. lol when we finally went back to our house, I immediately took a bath, and reached my bed to sleep because I was extremely exhausted, but happy! :D the next day, on Saturday morning, my friend asked...

Day 26 (?) - Self Quarantine

I don't know about myself anymore. I hate myself. I loathe my sister, her high voice. I hate how I become easily angry at things. I hate everything. My colleagues from work finally asked me why I am not on Twitter anymore. Oh I still am. I'm just using a different account and signed out from my main account. I hate seeing my friends there, or I just hate that I keep pouring my minds out there that I felt insecure about them reading too much of my mind. Or I just hate how intense the discussion about how Indonesian Government handle the pandemic. I don't know. I just grow distant because I am not having a real interaction there. I hate chatting on app. I really don't like every single thing. And stuck with my sister? Oh God. Can I just die already? Like instant die. Instantly vanished. My existence doesn't matter anymore I need a break from being just a pain in the ass from anyone. I hate myself so much and this is not even from my PMS talking. My period end...
