What a month, August! I started working as a real teacher, graduated from uni, and got engaged; all in the span of one month. It was an August to remember. The August where I officially became a grown up woman. Thanks, August. I love you. See you next year 😉
Trivia: Yes. I typed ‘August’ six times in this post.
I finally had the guts to resign from a teaching job that had made me tangled up with a low salary. Last Friday was my last day there. The good thing is I finally have time to finish some unfinished uni business like printing my final paper and distributed two copies to my uni’s and department’s libraries. Now I’m all ready for the graduation day on August. The bad thing is… well, my financial situation has hit rock bottom. I have no pennies left. Thank God I’m still living with my parents so I still have a place to stay and food to eat. Ramadan has come to its last 10 days now and so Eid is just around the corner. I’m starting a new job as an English teacher in a high school next month though, so I still have to face this situation for at least one month. All in all, I can say that this isn’t that bad, right?
So. This week. What have I done in this first week of being unemployed? Well, just as I said above, I finish the unfinished uni business and finally got my permit to register for the graduation ceremony. I also had iftar with my girls at Ian’s place and got the chance to take tons of picture with her cat, which she calls Donat (or donut). Plus, Vicky and I had two meetings this week. We’re almost ready to (re-)open our business! 
Being unemployed has given me freedom. I keep telling myself not to be too comfortable, as I will start working full time next month. But as for now, I think I’m going to take my time and focus on the business. Fingers crossed!
Just a quick post to let you know that I had my final paper presentation yesterday and I passed! I only have to do very minor revisions to the paper and then I’m done with university. I’m so excited!
All the SEO masters will surely cringe at my choice of lame title for this post, but hey! I mean it! October is my birthday month and so it is my month, right?
Alright. So I finally got a time to go back to the blogland after two weeks of not-even-turning-on-my-laptop-for-anything-besides-doing-progress-on-final-paper. In fact, I just finished marking some posts read on Bloglovin’. Hundreds of them. (Exhausting!) And I didn’t even do that on my laptop. I’m using my (brand new :D) tablet to read blogs and post this tonight. Tiny screen, awkward keyboard, tethered internet connection, but it’s the only convenient way as for tonight.
I feel like I need to tell you that I hate complaining about my final paper to anybody other than my boyfriend and a few friends. That’s why I’ve been avoiding this blog. I’ve ranted enough on Twitter, I think, that I shouldn’t bring the negativity here. Like I said before, I should probably go back to using this blog as a getaway whenever real life seems unbearable, just like what I did a couple of years ago. Reading back to those days, I can see that my writings nowadays look dull compared to the old ones. I also used to have quite a number of royal readers and commenters. I don’t know if the decreasing number is because of me or if it is because of the big changes in the blogland just like what Kaelah talked about on her blog a few days back. Well, I was never a famous blogger, but even the amateur like me has been feeling the shifting so perhaps it is real.
Anyway, while I was gone, I got myself a plenty of part time jobs and one that I had to cancel due to the conflicting schedule. (See? I wasn’t kidding when I said I was busy.) I am now a coordinator assistant in a private course institution and also a social media manager for a startup fashion line. Busy, arent I? 😉
So, yeah… Here’s to October, my super special month.
PS. My tablet’s wallpaper is from Kristen Victoria.
Today, the five of us finally had the chance to have a meet up to throw Ian her (early) birthday party. We went to Domino’s and bought the Two for Tuesday promo. We stayed there for hours before we finally left it for Daiso and Gramedia.
We talked about a lot of things and laughed together. Though we mostly talked about final paper, it was really fun to finally see them again. The college life will end very soon, and until that time, we won’t get the chance to see each other very often like we used to do in the early years. This kind of meet up will be very rare soon and that’s why we should cherish every minute that we spend together.
