Sekolah lagi

Satu keinginan lama yang saya coba wujudkan tahun ini adalah sekolah lagi. Dulu sekali ... (2002 - 2003), saya pernah mencoba mewujudkan mimpi saya ini. Tapi waktu itu tidak berhasil. Admission letter sudah ditangan, tapi apa daya, saya gagal dapat beasiswa.

Sekarang saya coba sekali lagi. Berhubung umur sudah tambah tua ;), rasanya ini kesempatan terakhir untuk mencoba sekolah. Now or never. Bermula dari tawaran seorang teman lama beberapa bulan yang lalu untuk bekerja sebagai asisten riset dengan imbalan dibiayai sekolah S2 dan uang saku untuk biaya hidup, maka saya mulai mengurus tetek bengek yang diperlukan. Mulai dari test TOEFL (score saya yang lama sudah expired), cari surat rekomendasi, bikin motivation letter, nego dengan bokap nyokap, dan prentil-prentil yang lain.

Sekarang semua sudah beres. Application package sudah dikirim, ijin dari ortu pun sudah keluar. Tinggal menunggu hasil, semoga kali ini saya sukses. Doakan saja ...

No more parties, no more lunch or dinner with friends, no more invitation for birthday parties, no more traveling. Perhaps my life had become too easy before the pandemic. We had to switch Nathaniel from a brick and mortar school to a cyber school. I tried to plan my grocery trips ahead of time to avoid crowds. We had to wear masks everywhere. But at least we are healthy. At least I am facing this together with my husband and kids as a family. At least I am at home that is fu...
All of a sudden my thoughts fly to my old friends tonight. How are they all doing? I miss the good old days. I am here, content and happy, but somehow I still miss them. People come and go in your life, but true friends remain in the heart, no matter where they are now, right :) ?
