It’s Getting Hectic Everywhere That I Go

Well, that’s a part of  Good Charlotte’s lyrics. I remember the song, “I Just Wanna Live”. And I remember how much I loved the clip. Aaaanyway..I would like to apologize because it’s been a long time ago since the last time I wrote something in my blog. And now, hmm..I don’t know what I have to tell.

Ah yeah, I better tell you about last Friday. Like usual, I started my day with woke up late, on 6.15 AM. Actually I had to arrive at campus on 7 AM because my friends had planned that we would have to practice for our drama. Yes, we’ll play the drama on November 6th in front of the seniors, alumnis, and the lecturers. I take part as a paranormal named Mama Loreng. Or you can call it as “Stripe Mother” in English. Sorry if it’s a bit confusing. Okay, let’s back to topic. When I stepped in the bathroom, my cellphone rang. I found a message from a friend, she wanted to go to campus together with me. I replied,”I just woke up. Haven’t taken a bath yet”. And my friend replied,”Me too”. Hahaha.. So we decided to go around 6.45 AM.

On 9 AM, I had a make-up class for Law and Development. I was looking for my friend, Caroline, because she hadn’t come yet until 9.30 AM. I texted her, asked about where she was. And she said,”I got some problems with the train. I’ll tell you later”. Finally, she came at 10 AM. Fortunately, the lecturer was so kind. He allowed Caroline to join his class.

The next lecture, Economics and Social Development, was held on 2 PM.

several patterns of batik

On the way to the class, I saw several people who brought the bags with the symbol of ASEAN. I didn’t recognize their faces, they must be the foreigners. Like the Fridays before, people in my class wore batik. Batik is a traditional clothes from Indonesia.The lecturer loved to wear batik and he suggested us to wear batik every Friday, when we got his class.

Several minutes after I came to the class, suddenly I saw those foreigners came to my class. They sat on the last two rows.  Their guide said that one of them would like to speak in  Bahasa Indonesia, because they had practiced a bit before.  A boy (looked like their leader) walk to the front side of the class. He introduced himself a bit. I admit that I forgot his name because I didn’t understand his accent. Actually, I could hear him clearer when he spoke in Bahasa Indonesia, much clearer than his English.  The only thing I remember the most is they are the students from Thailand. After that, my lecturer came. He introduced about batik, asked several things about Thailand, and explain several things about economics. Around 45 minutes later, those people from Thailand had to leave the class.

After those foreigners have gone, my lecturer said,”I proud of you. All of you are wearing batik today. To appreciate what you have done, I would like to add several points for your scores”. “Yeaaahhhh!!!”, I clapped and screamed with my friends.

Well, I think that’s enough. I better do my assignment now, hehe.. I wrote this post because I had no idea about my assignment. Okay, thanks for reading! See ya! *sorry for my terrible English, hoho..^^

It’s 2 AM here..

Yeah, it’s 2 AM here. And I haven’t slept yet. Well, I don’t have insomnia or something like that, I just still have one more assignment to do. I have to admit that I’m the real deadliner. You know, someone who always does his/her tasks on the last hours/minutes. I don’t like to be a deadliner, but it’s been my bad habit since I was a highschooler.

God, I wish I could end this suffer. Yeah, I want my bed so damn much. But I can’t let myself to lie on my bed now, because I would fall asleep and I couldn’t have my assignment finished. Let’s just hope that I can survive today.

I’m gonna have a mini soccer match on 3 PM. How can I do it well? I don’t even have a good sleep. And I’m fasting now. Well,well,well..poor me. Let’s just hope that there will be a miracle. Because people said,”Miracle will come to everyone who believes it”. And yeah, I do believe in miracle.

Life in FISIP UI

Yeah, finally.. Setelah sekian lama gue tidak ada waktu untuk sekedar menjenguk blog gue ini, akhirnya gue bisa nge-post lagiii Sekarang ini, gue sedang duduk di tempat -yang menurut gue- paling ajib seantero FISIP UI. Yah, namanya adalah Miriam Budiardjo Resource Center atau yang akrab disebut MBRC. Merasa akrab dengan nama “Miriam Budiardjo”?. Haha, gue kasih tau aja deh ya biar gak bingung kelamaan. Beliau adalah salah satu orang yang mendefinisikan apa itu politik, dan definisi beliau adalah makanan wajib waktu gue belajar Kewarganegaraan pas SMA. Well, MBRC ini  adalah sangat cozy karena gue bisa berleha-leha disini sambil main internet gratis (walaupun cuma dikasih sejam). Fyi, I have no laptop, so I can’t use that thing named “hotspot”. Sebenernya sih ini tempat ada 3 lantai, dimana lantai 1 adalah tempat nge-net, trus lantai 2 sama 3 isinya buku-buku politik. Sounds boring? Definitely not.

Another thing that makes me love this MBRC is, yeah…maybe it sounds so silly, but I have to admit that as I’m a single (not to mention that “gue gak laku”, hey, I’ve rejected several boys during the last 2 months,haha), I like to look around, just want to see some interesting guys, actually. Tapi yah, namanya juga jodoh di tangan Tuhan, gue mah enjoy saja dengan kejombloan gue ini. Toh belakangan ini juga gue lagi sibuk sama latihan rutin marching band.

Well, gue belom sempet cerita ya kalo gue ikutan marching band? Jadi ya awalnya gue tertarik sama penampilan marching band di display UKM. Nah, gue yang senang joget-joget gak jelas (yang pasti gak dangdut ya) tertarik pengen jadi color guard. Itu loh, yang nari-nari pake bendera warna-warni itu. Kayaknya sih seru. Pada dasarnya gue emang suka banget liat marching band dari jaman SD. Dan karena takdir tidak pernah mempertemukan gue dengan sekolah yang ada marching band-nya, jadilah mimpi ikutan marching band gue simpan sendiri.  Dan akhirnya mendaftarlah gue di marching band UI. Setelah tes alat segala macem, gue masih pengen jadi guard, tapi gue pikir,”It’s ok kalo pun gue dapet posisi apa aja, tapi rada males sih sama bagian pit”. Pit itu kayak xylophone gitu loh. Dan gue merasa koordinasi tangan gue gak bagus buat mengontrol mallet (pemukul pit). Daaaan, hasil menyebutkan bahwa gue dapet section bariton.

Gue gak pernah menyangka bahwa pada akhirnya gue akan mendapat kehormatan untuk memegang terompet gede ini (tadinya gue gak tau kalo terompet gede ini ada namanya). Sekedar intermezzo, di marching band UI ada 5 jenis terompet. Mari urutkan dari yang paling gede, yaitu Tuba, Euphonium, Bariton, Mellophone, and the smallest one is Trumpet. Yang buat lo niup terompet-terompet ini, namanya adalah mouth piece. Dan ukuran mouthpiece ngikutin ukuran terompetnya, jadi mouthpiece Tuba adalah yang paling gede, dan mouthpiece Trumpet adalah yang paling kecil. Buat gue, bariton sih fine aja mouthpiece-nya, tapi beratnya bariton jelas TIDAK FINE sama sekali. Tuba sama Euphonium emang gede, tapi mereka di taro di bahu pas mau dimainin. Mellophone sama Trumpet terbilang ringan sih, dan  bariton adalah suatu penyiksaan kalo buat gue pribadi.

Intinya, gue udah mulai latihan dari tanggal 27 Agustus. Alhamdulillah gue dapet kesempatan untuk tampil di depan orangtua gue pada tanggal 6 September nanti. Yeah, biar orangtua gue juga bisa liat lah hasil latiahan anaknya yang bisa sampe 5 jam sehari ini. Well, doakan gue supaya lancar ya nanti penampilannya. Gue bakalan main 3 lagu, yaitu Hymne Almamater (lagu kebangsaan UI gitu deh), Bukan Cinta Biasa (Afgan), sama Smoke On The Water (Scorpion). Sisa waktu gue tinggal 15 jam latihan lagi. Hymne Almamater gue belom sempurna sampe sekarang. Wish me luck, guys!

Baaaalik lagi ke keberadaan gue sekarang. Yeah, FISIP UI. Banyak spot menarik disini, yang kadang namanya aneh, tapi oke kok tempatnya. Contohnya adalah “Teletubbies”, “Takor”, “Teater Kolam”, “SBAL”, dsb. Penasaran? Makanya, main dong ke FISIP UI. Ahahahahaha..

Okelah, limit satu jam gue sudah hampir habis. Mohon maaf kalo masih banyak hal yang bikin penasaran. Silakan disampaikan jika ada komentar, insya Allah gue bales secepetnya. Well, thanks for reading!
