For the sake of 15 minutes sleeping

Today was a mess. It was completely my fault, and really stupid, I messed everything up for the sake of 15 more minutes sleeping :p

When I woke up this morning, I was really really sleepy. I looked at the window, it was raining outside. Imagine : a pillow, a warm blanket, raining outside :D I couldn't help myself to tolerate for 15 minutes sleeping. Instead of woke up and prepared to go to campus, I just turned my laptop on and send an e-mail to a colleague who had appointment with me : I will be there at 10, then I continued my sleep.

Yeah, it was silly me. When finally I made to wake up, I was really in a rush. I should have one minute to dry my laundry, but it took several minutes. All of a sudden my laundry card couldn't be read :( . Oh well, I even couldn't finish my coffee because I want to catch a bus at 9.35, but I missed it by 1 or 2 minutes. Then I walked to another bus stop to catch another route - a campus shuttle bus. When finally I managed to arrive at the shuttle bus stop, the bus just departed in front of me :D I couldn't do anything but called my colleague that I missed the bus. Since I didn't have his direct number, I only left a message to another friend that I will be there at 11. Oh well, the message didn't reach the recipient in complete. Yes, my friend gave my message, but he tought that I would be there in a couple of minutes, so he didn't tell that I will be there at 11. Well, it's nobody's fault but me.

Finally I decided to get another bus and I should walked more than the normal route. When I arrived at 11, my colleague was really pissed off to me since he already waited me for an hour, and he had another meeting at 11. Oh no, what a huge mistake I made. Finally I settled everything up, but still, I lost more than 3 effective working hours and I got really confused (to myself, who else should I blame :p)

I usually try to be on time. A few years ago, some friends and I tried to have being on time as our habit. When one of us was late, she/he would have punishment for it. It shaped me quite well, at least I tried to respect others' schedule and I want other person to treat me the same. I remember how upset I was when my friend 30 minutes behind the schedule. But today, I should admit that I have to rebuild that habit. Shame on me, for the sake of 15 minutes sleeping, I ruined my day.

Rediscover childhood ...

When Iis asked whether I'd like to join a traditional Indonesian dancing ~ Balinese, I was hesitated. Last time I did Balinese dance was in Nyoman Gunarsa's Sanggar Dewata around 1989. I started dancing Balinese at age 4 when I saw my older cousins dancing, so I told my mom that I wanted to dance. Wrong decision :p! My mom enjoyed bringing me to the dance club, more than I enjoy dancing, and I was stuck for more than 6 years :p I knew that I wasn't talented, but she just didn't let me quit no matter how much I begged, hahaha. I finally quit because I needed to study more to prepare for Ebtanas (I know, I know it's such a lame excuse, hehehe) . Never crossed my mind that I would dance again. First because I didn't enjoy it, second because I am not talented. When finally I say yes, I'll come, I thought it would be the first and last time :) But I was wrong. It's fun and I enjoy it. This time is different because my mom doesn't tell me to do the dancing...

Turned out alright

Last week everything turned out alright :) Jumat siang, dengan restu teman2 kantor :p gw cabut dari kantor, walaupun area leader gw ngajakin meeting buat next recipe, tapi dia bilang "Go ahead and don't worry about the meeting, you better get your license today :p" . Jam 12.30an, gw dijemput sama orang dari driving school, dan ngebutlah kita ke DMV Norristown ngejar ujian jam 2 siang. Gw deg2an banget, apalagi karena udah gagal 1x. Kalau gw fail lagi, means that I screw everything up. Karena in the next four weeks para tebengan bakalan cabut ke site di Oregon (gak mungkin kan gw jalan 2 mile ke kantor), kontrak apartment gw habis akhir September dan gw harus cari apartment baru, dan ada chance gw bakalan dikirim ke Oregon juga (walaupun bukan shift pertama). Tapi above it all, hidup tergantung sama orang lain itu sucks. Gw gak bisa bebas ke mana-mana, gak bisa cari kegiatan dan temen2 sendiri (temennya ya cuman temen dari temen gw), gak ada social life sama sekali. Nyampe...
