What an Adventure!

I personally couldn't believe that I was given this opportunity to see a different part of this world. The story started here.

Malang, July 25th, 2011, it was almost time. It was 3.30 p.m. and I, Ucun, and Ojan, are waiting for a train that was going to bring us to Jakarta. We were going to have a Pre-Departure Orientation. Finally, there was it, there was that sequence of vehicle to bring us to Jakarta. I might not seem to be sad to leave my family but there deep inside my heart, I cried.

Good morning, earth!!!

Last Seconds

I will just reminisce some memories right now. It was still really unbelievable that I could be here, in Tomahawk, Wisconsin to experience an absolutely precious experience.

I never realized that June 2011 would be the last time I could meet everyone before we left. I decided to spend my second semester holiday at home to prepare my departure. I did not go back to dormitory almost at all. However, a few days before Ucun, Ojan(my friends who were going to USA too), and I left for our Pre-Departure Orientation in Jakarta, I decided to come and spend a night at dormitory, and to bid farewell.

I felt the most wonderful feeling when I could meet my friends at dorm though on the other side I was so sad to leave them. If I'm not mistaken, it was July23rd, 2011, by the time I went to dorm. I took a walk in that afternoon at dormitory.
