'downgrade' grad trip

Actually I've nvr imagined having a graduation trip before. It's not in my vocabulary. Hahaha.

The last most confirmed grad trip ideal for me was going to Japan - Korea - China - Taiwan (I think it's Ian's idea) and to do it with Evi, Nic, Pril, Nyz. Then, after the trip to Bangkok with Nic, Pril, Nyz, I've realized that we all will graduate at different time. Some might have already worked in May.

After going to India, there was sort of a change of plan in my head. Let's go soft-trekking at Himalaya! Hahaha. After a few trainings, I found out that mountaineering is not about trekking (oops), so I told myself, Okay...let's see how. If the situation (physical and financial) is permissible, perhaps I can go for Technical Mountaineering Course (TMC) as my grad trip. So yeah..let's see...

However, it seems that I need to confirm SOON. Now I feel that it seems impossible to finance my TMC. Hahaha. So I still save some hope to join the soft-trek Himalaya, but somehow I'm kinda lower down my expectation. Perhaps coz now I'm more "money-conscious". Soon I'll need to pay my tuition fee loan (well, my parents will pay too, but there's also a hope to be financially independent). Then, I also hope to go to World Youth Day 2013 in Brazil. Furthermore, there's this feeling of "it's enough", as in...don't go because of greedy feeling. Hahaha. As in.. If I really want to go WYD, it seems that I MUST really save up from now. Hahahaha.

Anyway, I told someone that even if I don't go to India or anywhere, I'll still do my grad trip even in Indonesia. I have not really explored my own country!! :P If everything goes well, I'll either have 2 exams on 26 April next semester or only 1 exam on 26 April, then I can escape immediately. :P

It's quite hard to plan anything now because I dunno whether I'll study or work afterwards. It's silly right?? first of all, I must plan my work/ study MORE than I think of my grad trip! HAHAHAHAHA..
Anyway, I've set my target for December and January. I will push myself for the research proposal and apply for jobs at the same time. I think I'll most likely rent a room instead of a house too because even if I work next year, I want to apply postgrad again. Anyway, I think nothing is permanent. Even though I write a lot about grad trip or this stuff or that stuff, soon some stuff will seem meaningless and you'll find more meaningful stuff once you go to the next phase. As an illustration, I can't imagine myself not dancing anymore, but here I am, I haven't danced for 8 months. I'm alive, I'm happy, though I still miss dancing sometimes, at the same time I'm not that motivated to practice myself. So yeah..things change over time :):)

the moral of the story: don't worry, be happy!! :D:D keep dreaming, keep doing your best, keep praying!! :):)
