It's Getting Better

Jadi gue udah resmi resign dari kantor yang lama, tapi tetap menjalin hubungan baik dengan para rekan kerja. Dan hubungan gue dengan bokap juga udah membaik. Dia udah kembali normal. Terus hari ini juga ketemu nenek untuk meneliti tentang bahasa dan budaya Batak. Nenek gue (opung boru) jadi bahan penelitian gue. Hehehe. Penelitian ini bakal gue dedikasikan buat almarhum opung doli, kakek gue yang meninggal hampir 2 bulan yang lalu. Dan Alhamdulillah, hari ini Opung Boru juga lagi normal. Haha.


Hari ini senang jadi tahu banyak cerita tentang leluhur gue, budaya gue, dan keluarga gue. Dan jarang2 gue bisa damai sama bokap dan opung boru. Jadi Alhamdulillah banget. Gue kira hari ini nggak akan pernah datang. *plaaakkk*

Alhamdulillah juga gue kemarin udah dapat panggilan dari salah satu universitas negeri di Jakarta. Udah ketemu wakil dekannya. Mudah-mudahan bisa segera di-acc sama jurusan dan dekanat. Kalo emang jodoh, bulan Agustus bakal dihubungi dan udh bisa mulai dikasih wejangan sebelum ngajar bulan September. Sementara itu, gue mau nyari kerjaan part time sambil bantu2 mama edit dan translate keperluan kantor dan keperluan ngajarnya. Gue juga mau ikut 2 konferensi. Satu konferensi translation, 1 lagi konferensi linguistik. Yang linguistik udh pasti gue tampil dan udh dpt jadwal presentasi tanggal 2 Juli di Bali. Yang translation gue baru mau nulis abstraknya. Haha. Tapi kalo diterima, bakal presentasi bulan Juni.

Selain itu, gue juga mau nyelesain novel gue yang udah ditagih sama junior gue yang entah kenapa menantikan kelanjutan novel gue. Biar cuma 1 fansnya, gue rela deh nyelesain. Demi fans. *hahahaa.

Dan besok gue mau jalan-jalan sama temen2 gue nonton film di Margo City. Senin-nya gue mau jalan2 ke Kota memenuhi panggilan kerja. Siapa tahu bisa part time dan tawarannya bagus.

Jadi, in general, kehidupan gue sudah mulai membaik. Alhamdulillah.

While Waiting for The Rain to Stop

Okay, I'm waiting for the rain to stop. If it doesn't stop yet, I won't be able go to my faculty to assist Writing class. God, I hope it will stop raining soon.

Meanwhile, I have translated two professor profiles and I have finished two Teacher Training journals.

Give me a big applause!!! *clap clap clap* ---> nevermind

---------------------------------------------------

Still waiting for the rain to stop, I'm gonna tell you about my future plans. I'm planning to try Fulbright scholarship program. I want to study linguistics in America. Wish me luck.

I'm planning to focus on pragmatics, sociolinguistics, and historical linguistics. If I could I want to discuss about bahasa Indonesia and Indonesian local languages in my future thesis. And I have observed some universities in the U.S. And I have to choose 3 universities that I would like to attend. However, I found these four:

Yale University


It is one of the best universities in the U.S. It also has one of the best linguistics department. But I got only a little information from the site. I'm not sure whether or not they will encourage my ideas about Bahasa Indonesia and Indonesian local languages. However, they do encourage researches on sociolinguistics and historical linguistics. And I love the location (I love eastern part of the US). Moreover, the member of The Ivy Leagues. haihaihai.

Cornell University

I love the location. It is also the member of The Ivy Leagues. I love the campus panorama. My favourite professor, Bu Melanie Budianta is the alumni of this university. It has one of the best linguistic programs in the US. But... but... when it comes to historical linguistics and sociolinguistics, Cornell focuses only on the European or Indo-European languages. T___T
Stanford University

It is one of the best universities in the U.S. It also has the BEST and the most complete linguistic programs. I just don't like the location. I don't like California.

University of Hawaii Manoa


It is probably not the best university in the US. However, it supports sociolinguistic and historical linguistic research on Austronesian languages (including bahasa Indonesia and Indonesian local languages). I like the panorama in Hawaii.... but I'm afraid of Tsunami and Russia's plan to have a missile test in the North Pole. XD

So, which one should be my priority? and which one do you think should I eliminate from the list? I can only choose three. [read]
