I wrote this last post just past midnight on Sunday (or Monday, technically) saying that I needed to focus more on my final paper. I went to bed very late that night, and then I got up, got dressed, and went to ITB to work on a project that a friend had offered and I had said yes. At that time, I had written down a timeline for what I was going to do this month. First week, I was going to work on said project while also conducting observations for my final paper. Second week was for finishing my research and third week was for finishing my final paper so that I could sign up for the oral presentation at the end of the month.
But then my manager asked me to join the team and fly to Pekanbaru on Thursday. The business trip would take two days and we’d go home on Saturday morning. There goes my whole plan, fellas. The next thing I knew was I was sitting on my seat in a plane flying north. 
I will probably write a separate post about my business trip, so please let me continue the story to after we landed back in Bandung. It was Saturday and it was Velentina’s birthday. We had had a plan for that day since January, so I didn’t want to cancel. Hell no. We went karaoke-ing and walked around the mall wearing party hats. 
The next day, Sunday, my cousin held her wedding ceremony and reception. I had been assigned as a bridesmaid, so I got up early in the morning and got dressed and had my makeup done and bridesmaid-ing all day. 
It was one helluva week.
