Crappy Monday



Hi.


I just want to blow off some steam because the 29th of November, 2021 is so crappy I have to write it down to this blog. Today isn't exactly, crappiest from the moment I opened my eyes until the day changed. No. It's just, one thing to another, long story short, I kinda have uncertain departure and a very sloppy classes. For the past few days, omicron variant has been the topic on my twitter following. I thought it was just a tame, mild mutation of this freaking covid. Turns out, it makes countries banning and rising their restrictions again, no exception with my destined country. People were exceptionally noisy in the group chat everywhere, well of course, since it got us worried whether we're still good to go or not. I mean, we have flight ticket and visa on hand, but really, we really can never know the future indeed.


The other pain in the ass is this assignment for one of my favourite class. Hecc, it's my favorite class this term. I was interested about the whole lessons, but not so much about getting the assignments done. I thought I did submit my less-than-required-words-essay to the google form link. However, the professors just emailed me saying they didn't receive my essay and asked me to confirm whether I've submitted it and it's just technical error or I never submitted it. Emphasize in the "don't bother to submit because it's already late".


You know, I aim to be way better than when I did my undergrad, in terms of grades. With this careless mistake, I think it is safe to say good bye to my better gpa this semester. I know it's no excuse but taking 6 classes, having to take care all of the documents to depart, going to places for these documents, and constantly worrying whether you're good enough to study at this university make my legs restless and my breath go faster. I am always nervous, and if not nervous, I just binge eating.


I was just a very low-mediocre students before, and now I go even lower. I held no strategic positions, I learned nothing about economics, I have stage fright, my academic English is getting worse and worse. I know I cannot compare my progress and how much I achieved this far, but damn most of my friends in my program are extremely awesome and smart. I can see they are insecure, too. But I wish I could scream in their ears that they're good and will definitely not fail and get highest score. 


I have impostor syndrome, that's why I doubt everything I have achieved so far. Mom said I got accepted because of her prayers. True, true. I never imagine to go this far but here I am, a civil servant top university graduate who's continuing her study "supposedly" abroad by scholarship. I feel like I did not deserve any of this, I bet a lot of people were surprised like, they don't believe it because they know their perception of me is not that great.


Whatever. I should go to sleep. It's 01:06

frustrated, or maybe even depressed

First of all, this is just a personal blog trying to process my personal experience, emotions, and feelings in light of my personal recent events which cause this frustration. Part of why this is happening probably was because I had these thoughts for several years, of my fears losing the ability to use my hands, or legs. The ability to hear. I already lost the ability to see normally ages ago, which also, probably the cause of my accident. I would like to apologize in advance for this post, if it seems insensitive. Again, this is just me trying to process. I don't know why, but since 2019, my August has always been cursed - if I ever leave my nest. The recent accident was worse, I fell into the sea, while I was just walking through this dark, un-illuminated path small dock in Sorong and somehow my left arm hit something which resulted in a broken arm - wearing spalk during the 4 hours flight to Jakarta which continued on several days - and a surgery to install plate and screws. It...

A sudden realization...

 It's so funny that I just realized this, like at this actual moment, that the post above - where I wish I'll leave this earth first - happened exactly a year before my accident. Confused? Let me explain. I told you that I fell down and broke my arm, right? The one where I needed to go through surgery to install plates and screw in my bones until it fully heals. That one accident that I keep thinking even though it happened more than 6 months ago. I fell down the sea on August 8, 2025. I got a taste of death a year after I made that post. And I freaked out. I chickened out. I'm suddenly scared of the thoughts of dying, painfully and slowly. Looks like I just wanted an easy way out. A peaceful ending. Maybe in my sleep. Or a quick one where I won't feel a thing. But I tasted what it felt like when your limb broke down. The way I screamed that night when the emergency nurse was trying to put on the spalk on me so I can safely return to Jakarta taking a 4 hour flight. How ...

feelings and emotion

2023 is such a rollercoaster ride, while it was mostly screaming fun, I still had a few low moments. Especially now that I am not in Japan anymore. I tried to rationalize what I have been feeling by skimming through journal about re-entry/reverse culture shock. Quoting from Marquette University , re-entry is a common reaction to returning home from studying abroad. I felt sad, melancholic, and frustrated by how I should behave with my coworkers; wondering why I have been feeling down a lot for the past three months. Usually, I would just record video journal as a replacement for this blog/writing, however since it's already late at night and I need to get this out immediately without my sister listening what I am experiencing right now, I thought, "why not going back to my usual blog so I can process what to do or how to behave?" So here I am. After my birthday, which was a couple of days ago, I felt this sudden change of mood. I no longer desire to go on a hiking trip w...
