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!

Five Pictures!
On account of my last post in which I whined about being a bad blogger because I rarely take pictures now, let alone those that are blog worthy, I attempted to document my life yesterday. I failed miserably. All I got were these five pictures. I’m not sure if they can be considered as blog worthy pictures or not, but here they are anyway.
Tutoring in the morning 
Buying grammar books at lunch time 
Coming home and greeted by Miss Molly at the door 
Watching The Amazing World of Gumball 
Teaching English in the afternoon I know it ain’t much, but hey! At least I tried. Hahahaha

Mata Ilmu’s Annual Gathering
Mata Ilmu has been operating for almost two years now. It started as a small group of friends teaching private courses to several students, and now we’ve grown to having twenty-ish teachers and fifteen-ish students. To celebrate this, we held our very first annual gathering on Sunday. Sadly, there were only several teachers who could come. We took pictures together, had a meeting talking about our progress so far and our plans for the next academic year, and then we had lunch. The gathering was actually a sort of picnic under a palm tree. There was also a stray cat joining us for the lunch!
