Karir Impian: Masa SMA

Duh, masa SMA... saat hidup jadi lebih rumit dari sebelumnya..

Ohya, sebagai informasi, selama SMA aku menjalani kelas satuku di Bandung lalu kelas dua dan tigaku di Jogja. Dan waktu kenaikan dari kelas dua ke kelas tiga, aku tidak sekolah dua bulan karena exchange AFS ke Jepang. Penting? Ya, penting buatku, agar tidak amnesia. Ahaha.

Waktu kelas satu di Bandung, aku sempat ikut klub debat yang kakak-kakak pengasuhnya anak-anak Fikom UNPAD. Bermula sejak itu aku udah mulai ada rasa-rasa tuh ya sama Jurusan Komunikasi. Tapi cupu as I was, belum kebayang bakal berkarier sebagai apa.

Selama SMA, sejujurnya ini masa paling malas belajar bagiku, apalagi dibandingkan masa SD dan SMP. Mungkin karena mulai kenal romansa? Halah.. Yang kuingat sih aku sedang sangat menikmati masa berorganisasi, masa eksplorasi minat dan kesukaan, mencoba banyak hal baru. Ikut OSIS, lomba-lomba debat, bahkan ikut seleksi dan lolos berangkat exchange. Di saat yang sama aku tak berminat sekolah karena mulai "dipaksa" memilih penjurusan. Aku tak nyaman jadi anak IPA, karena tidak suka Fisika dan Kimia. Tak sreg jadi anak IPS karena buta Akuntansi  dan Ekonomi. Kalau tidak harus pindah sekolah sih mending masuk kelas Bahasa. Jadilah sekolah hanya demi lulus dan bisa kuliah.

Tapi dalam pencarian minat dan kesukaan itulah aku sadar betapa aku jatuh cinta dengan isu lingkungan, jatuh hati dengan bahasa, dan jatuh bangun memahami isu-isu dunia. Bisa dibilang arah karirku adalah to make the world a better place!

Sampai di bulan-bulan terakhir sebelum UN pun aku belum tahu arah karirku, tapi sudah mulai mengerucut jurusan-jurusan kuliah yang kuincar. Tadinya aku masih mau bertaruh pilih KU/FK karena, ya ortu mana sih yang ga akan dukung anaknya jadi dokter. Tapi kubatalkan karena kuputuskan ingin menikmati masa kuliah tidak sekadar kuliah-praktikum-nulis laporan. Toh aku buruk dalam kemampuan menghapal.

Gara-gara terpesona dengan cerdas dan kerennya seorang Tika Bisono di televisi sebagai seorang humas sebuah perusahaan, akhirnya kutetapkan Komunikasi sebagai pilihan pertama. Karena aku anak IPA, aku harus pilih satu jurusan eksak agar bisa ikut IPC. Awalnya aku semangat memilih Konservasi Kehutanan/KSDA yang cocok dengan passionku, tapi urung karena ibuku tak setuju anaknya keluar masuk hutan. Hmpft..

Akhirnya aku daftar UMPTN (SNMPTN saat itu) dg pilihan Komunikasi, Sastra Inggris, dan Biologi.

Kemana pilihanku mengantarku?
Simak di tulisanku selanjutnya!

For her upcoming 8th birthday, she have everything plan out. (Most probably an Intuitive, yup, since her birthday won't be here until another two months). She already plan how it will be celebrated. Her father and I never celebrate our birthdays so her images of birthdays are definitely not from us. She plans what she wants to eat. Quite anti mainstream because she requested "nasi and kremesan". She plans when it will be held (not on her actual birth day because she wants to celebrate it with her cousin and relatives in her father's hometown). She also plans who she is going to invite. What amaze me the most is she has this idea that her cousins will give her presents which she already has prepared earlier herself. So today I drove her to this stationery store, not a fancy one, just one near her school. She then bought pretty much everything she needs and wants for her birthday. She choose the cute stuffs she wants as her present, pick the pretty boxes and bags to put...

Understanding and Curing Limerence

(Excerpt from limerence .net , nothing was written by me) The phases of limerence Like other addictions, we see limerence originating from early life psychological wounding. We use it to fill a hole in our soul.  We  describe  limerence as the mother of all distractions and when working with clients in limerence we are  curious to uncover what is it the person avoiding dealing with?  So often there is deep unresolved emotional pain. The client has protected themselves by covering their hearts over the years and decades with layers and layers of reinforced concrete.  This was a survival mechanism necessary from growing up in a dysfunctional and often narcissistic family system. The reality is limerence never lasts – typically it spans from 6-36 months. Just long enough for us to pair-bond and continue the survival of the species. Recent advances in neuroimaging and neurochemistry are now mapping out these pathways for romantic love. We als...

Third Session

The third session of my therapy was unplanned, as usual. I never set up an appointment, just using canceled sessions of students. At first, I told the psychologist that I haven't sleep well these pas few days. It's hard for me to fall asleep. Or,  I finally slept then got awake in the middle of the night, then kept awake for no real reason. I told her that when I couldn't sleep or wide awake, I'd be thinking about him, A. I'd be delusional, playing up ideas of scenes with him, or plain reeling images of A right inside my head. Then I'd be so tired I will actually fall asleep. I told her that Friday I caught a glimpse of A strolling about. I felt okay that time, just happy to see he's okay and all. But then Friday night I started to feel anxious, like sorrow inside me grew heavily. I got insomnia until morning. I told her that my heart is filled with deep longing of him. I miss him so much for no apparent reason. Who the hell is he, how can this be, and why...
