I spent most of my summer vacation at home, but to be honest it was really bored, most of my friends they spent time to work on their thesis,since I haven’t started my thesis I try to find another activities. I will make a quick list about all things that I did during this vacation:

1. Became commitee on Indonesian Student International Simposium (SI-PPI 2009), I didn’t expect that I’ll be in charge of science and technology comittee,it was surely hard work I barely enjoyed my time her. To be honest I’m very sceptical about the result of this simposium. But, you know, to see all these students that devote them self into the future of our country, it really inspired me, nonetheless I got friend from all over the world, and just think about that it makes me feel grateful to be alive.

2. Had a central europe trip. With Mba Dian, I had 6 days of journey on Central Europe, we went to Prague, Bratislava, Budapest, and Vienna. Except Vienna whom located on Austria, all those countries using different languange from Indo-Europe, and it’s totally different, everyday we had to twist our tongue to say the  name of the metro station or just name of tourist attraction. It really drives us crazy, especially when it comes to the quality of hostel (most of the time we lived on student dormitory), and during our meal we just pointing to something that we like and hopefully they eill give us right order LOL.

3. I went to London by myself, two weeks after I had central europe trip I went to London & Nottingham, most of the time I walk the cities all by my self (during my stay in Nottingham my friend accompany me for one day). It was my first time step on United Kingdom and for me it was very impressive, I never thought being on english speaking country would be able give the some kind of ease. By the time I went home to Netherland, part of me feel that I feel envy with all my friends whose studied there, part of me feel thankfull to live here, one fully organized country (London was such a mess!)

4. During the august I spent my time looking for a new house, because my friend didn’t allow me to extend my stayon my old house, after all those attemp to look on my new house I decided to stay on Himmel’s old place, it was 1 bedroom and 1 living room house located under the attic, as you can predict the roof is inclined so during the first 2 days I always bump my head into the roof. Since we lived (yeah I have to shared the room with mba endah so I could save more money) on the 3rd floor, everytime we head to our room we always panting because the stairs were really steep. But, oh well, home sweet home, when we have to live on the attic, then attic it will be!
