Afternoon, dude. How's your fasting day? Keep the spirit high.
Today (September 3rd) I am so thrilled. Finally I manage to send my scholarship application after getting through a long winding road. Such a journey, man, I tell you. Yeah. Tomorrow is the deadline and the last document was signed this morning.
To tell you the truth, I'm kind of a deadliner (I don't know if this term is common, coz I make it myself. You know what I mean.), but it doesn't mean that I prepare those requirements the last days. Though somehow some problems always occur to test my patience and my emotion that I have to run here and there like crazy dealing with them.
It is hillarious how pieces of papers could make you go beyond reason. Just one of the example: I had non-stop journey just to get letter of recommendation from my academic supervisor and copies of certificates & academic transcript in English. I was in Gorontalo for work till Wednesday. The flight was at 11.20 a.m from Gorontalo, reached Soekarno-Hatta at about 4.30 p.m. I came home at 5.30 p.m and went to Gambir railway station at 7.00 p.m. I took Argo Lawu train, started from Gambir at 8.45 p.m and reached Tugu station in Jogja at 5.30 a.m. My friend picked me up to her house (to take a bath and had breakfast) then she took me to my campus at about 9.00 a.m. I stayed in campus till 2.30 p.m to get the documents. A little bit anxious because my English version certificate was not copied yet and you know, sometimes we couldn't get signature in one day. If I didn't get it that day, I didn't think I had enough time to submit my application. But, luckily I got them. Yaay, alhamdulillah.
So, after spending almost a whole day in campus, I went to LBA to meet my friend (and to take a bath). My cousin picked me up at 7.00 p.m to take me to Tugu station. I went back to Jakarta at the same day I arrived in Jogja, at 8.00 p.m. Two nights in row I slept on the train, which I couldn't. Friday morning, 5.30 a.m, I reached Gambir and an hour later arrived at boardinghouse. Did some cleaning and then I went to work. Yeah.
Hectic day has been my favorite eventhough I go crazy passing it. It always means something. That we really could go beyond.
