Confession of a jobless girl

2 Comments »

Satu bulan yang lalu gw sidang final di kampus .... sidangnya cuma 40 menit sih ... cuma derita sebelum sidangnya itu enam bulan mati matian. Kuliah gw itu menurut gw susahnya amit amit banget .... dulu pas kuliah di Indonesia juga susah sih...... tapi ya bisa aja gitu dapet nilai bagus. Kalo disini aih matek susahnya mau dapet nilai A...... kuliahnya 100% bahasa Jerman dan satu jurusan orang Indonesia nya cuma gw doang .... hiks, kadang tuh gw suka iri gitu sama student dari Cina atau dari Korea Selatan karena mereka banyak temen temen senegaranya. Yahh akhirnya gw lulus bulan lalu tanggal 23 Oktober ..... ijazah masih belum ditangan nih baru dibagiin tanggal 4 Desember ... enak juga disini ga ada acara wisuda.... males gw wisuda2an segala mending dirumah nonton tipi ngelamar lamar kerja. Hari itu mas pacar gw minta ambil off dari kantor buat bantuin gw sidang ..... bukannya lebay tapi gambar gw ada 9 ... ukuran kertasnya A0 ... semuanya harus ditempel rapi di dinding presentasi dalam waktu yang singkat .... plus maket gw ada 3 .... yang 2 ukurannya mayan lah hampir A2. Abis beres presentasi kita buka Champagne yang dibawa mas pacar.... hadiah dari dia ceritanya...


 ga sengaja keminum 3 gelas kekekeke


lanjut makan siang di restoran depan kampus .... selama kuliah gw gapernah kesana soalnya keliatannya mahal bgt... tapi karena gw lulus boleh dong ntraktir pacar makan siang ..... ternyata makanannya enak dan harganya ga segitunya nyekek leher kok ..... lagian mahal dikit juga gpp lah gw emang udah miskin juga kok gara gara tugas akhir yang mahalnya matek hahahaha ...


Minggu pertama setelah jadi pengangguran.... gw masih sibuk ke kampus beberapa kali .... pindahin laptop, monitor, printer, etc dari kampus ke rumah .... trus sibuk santai santai aja bangun tidur nonton tipi heheheh. Cuma gw itu emang gak bisa banget disuruh bengong kelamaan ..... akhirnya setelah 4-5 hari gw mati gaya. Abis itu gw apply apply kerjaan buat part time job .... sebenernya mau nyari kerja kantoran, tapi ga bisa secepet itu apply nya soalnya perlu nyiapin portfolio dulu ..... berhubung rekening bank udah makin langsing.... gw gerak cepat cari part time job...


musimnya daun2 gugur. cakep yaa...


minggu kedua gw jadi pengangguran ....dipanggil buat test kerja jadi waitress di restoran Sushi. Lancar jaya walopun gw belum pernah kerja di bidang gastronomy .... selang berapa hari kemudian gw tanda tangan kontrak kerja part time di restoran sushi ini .... lumayan, setiap kerja gw boleh makan sushi gratis kekekeke... dan uangnya juga lumayan untuk beli sepatu baru bayar kosan. Beruntung gw tinggal di kota besar .... mau cari kerja sampingan relatif gampang .... denger denger sih kalo di kota2 yang (dulunya) bekas Jerman Timur atau di Berlin susah buat anak muda cari kerja sampingan... karena saingannya sama para less educated + jobless people yang bersedia ngelakuin kerjaan yang sama as a full-time-job dan dengan hourly-wage yang lebih rendah.


pulang kerja nyolong bawa pulang sushi

Kalo lagi gak kerja di resto gw dirumah aja .... nyiapin portfolio yang cakep buat ngelamar kerjaan, sambil bikin list mau apply ke perusahaan mana aja, etc. Dua minggu lalu akhirnya gw resmi apply2 ke perusahaan arsitek yang gw suka (masih idealis ceritanya hahaha ... ) of course ada yang langsung nolak #nangisdipojokan Tiap hari kerjaan gw cuma ngecek email sama nunggu HP bunyi ada yang nelpon .... yang nolak udah ada beberapa .... yang bilang perlu waktu buat proses aplikasi gw ada dua.... yang belum jawab buanyaaaaakkkk #airmatakering

Setelah galau galau gajelas (yaelah baru aja nunggu 2 minggu nganggur.... lebay ya) Senin malem kemarin gw akhirnya gabisa tidur dan browsing2 lowongan kerja lagi. Nemu tiga perusahaan yang nyari orang .... akhirnya malam itu juga (jam 2 pagi) gw kirim aplikasi via email. Besoknya.... hari Selasa.... gw lagi kerja di Resto Sushi.... eh ditelpon, diundang buat wawancara hari Jumat, alias B-E-S-O-K!!! Ahhhhhhhh seneng tapi deg deg an tapi seneng tapi bingung gimana caranya mau pake court heel yang cakep kalo udaranya -1 derajat? Ada saran? Apakah pake koyo di kaki bisa membantu? Gw ada nih stok koyo cabe, masih banyak. Oiya setelah jadi ternak potong pengangguran gw jadi bisa sering masak dirumah.... seneng deh bisa makan enak sehat hemat lagi....


ini hasil gw berantakin dapur masak selama gw jadi pengangguran .... doakan pengangguran ini semoga cepat berlalu yaaaa .... kasian rekening bank gw kemarau gersang terus terusan.

somehow posted less and less blogpost lately, though I'm really not that busy. Guess I'm gonna try to post more daily this-and-that..... pics from ordinary day in my internship office, vectorworks-ing with SNSD songs from youtube playlist and having lunch that I prepared the night before.... or often eating two-days-old meal. P update your blog please I want to see holiday pics from Cinque Terre :)

5th week

I'm on my 5th week of my six months full time internship.... everything is cool except the fact that working eight hours a day is really a new thing for me and I'm still trying to adjust into it. I'll be home during Xmas and New Year and I'm thinking about it almost every day.... so freakin' happy to be coming home..... I'm missing my root.

a good news, after 6 weeks of house-hunting .... I got a room in a shared-flat .... will moving in on 1st of Dec .... and the-soon-to-be-my-bedroom has a quite dark parquet floor. Gonna need to re-paint the wall as the current color is yellowish white (blame nicotine from cigarette) ..... and I'm considering these combinations ..... navy blue + pale blue .... or baby pink + pale grey, any other suggestions maybe? Meanwhile school are getting okay, able to invest more time on assignment since the house-hunting phase is over. And despite the fact that I'm financially very broke .... I'm contented and thankful for everything .... and even cherish every single cup of green tea in the morning.

random snap in San Francisco three weeks ago ... I stayed there for one week and successfully only saw the famous Golden Gate from couple kilometers away distance. Nothing new here except for school started again today and I'm still looking for a new flat .... kinda getting used to live from luggage and boxes ... however my heart swells ever since I'm back here and things are simply fine.

afternoon nachos + taco at Daphne Dahee and Collin's apartment. I somehow like Chicago better than San Francisco ... yet I like Stuttgart the most!

I landed happily in San Francisco on Wednesday afternoon .... like literally happy, I was wearing a big smile in my face as the airplane touched the landing lane. I've been dreaming to see this city since years ago. The next day I spent my morning somewhere not near from SF downtown .... because I took the wrong direction ... I thought I was walking towards Ferry Building, turned out it was the opposite direction. It's normal tho, me being not smart. So I ended up having this for brunch in the middle of nowhere ....


It took me a couple hours to reach the Ferry Building .... it wasn't that far ... but some retail store blocked my sights that I have to stop every now and then .... I had my usual afternoon coffee, learning the city map, and writing some postcard accompanied by crisp fall weather, aaah lovely. Then I went to SFMOMA ..... the museum makes me feel so educated. 3 days left in this city ..... lets stroll around.

Before I blab about San Francisco I better write about last days in Chicago. Monday was the last day of the workshop in IIT, we were so happy that it's over and had cheap margarita and taco in a nice Mexican restaurant that night .... the workshop wasn't really hard work though, it was a laid-back one. The group went to Racine the next day, while I decided to stay in town .... strolling around Wicker Park neighborhood .... hopping from one thrift store to another .... and ended up with a vintage shoulder bag, typical.

On our last night in Chicago all of us went to this jazz night club .... which I thought at first gonna be ... I don't know, lame? Turn out it was simply good and entertaining, and they even have spicy chicken wings too in night club ... imagine having spicy chicken wing at 2 am in a night club, this country is hilarious.

still here

just arrived happily in Chicago and this novel has been such a loyal companion - and as if my sleeping problem during my rather-short stay in Indonesia was not enough, I'm having double jet lag now. Big grin from Illinois!

Excursion to Turin last week was greater than I expected. Very handsome Roman city ..... yummy affordable food, and I got the chance to know the fellow student better. And the résumé!

Day one : walked about 4 hours in the old town quartier ... we have about 20 "pit-stop" .... and each student has to explain the short history about one pit-stop. I got to explained about Puerta Nuova Central Station ..... and I had pizza for dinner (and what's the correlation anyway?!)

Day two : went to our design site, again walked for a couple hours. Did analysis workshop the following the afternoon, and closed the day with Italian buffet dinner in Piazza Savoia.

Day three : continued the workshop until noon, visited some Urban Revitalization projects site after lunchtime ..... and also visited Lingotto, the 500 meter long former FIAT factory. Dinner with our studio tutors and the professor until 23.30 (well it's worth it to gain weight in Italy, isn't it?)

Day four : we got free-schedule for Saturday. Stayed at the hotel and chat with him until lunchtime..... walked around the city center with my friends, crazily bought more souvenir in the market (can somebody tell me how can I get enough of cheese?) Had pizza again for dinner.... I'm not exaggerating but this time the pizza is exxxxtreemmmely gooodd! mamamiaaa!

Day five : went to Castello di Rivoli, the temperature was okay .... around 11ºC ..... yet very foggy. It was a fine visit, we got an interesting guided tour for about 2 hours. Catched the last flight back to Stuttgart via Munich .... and finally landed in my lovely messy flat around 23.

ps. booked ticket to Milan for Easter holiday, will meet up with my girls from Rennes and Manchester there. Italian cheese, wait for me .... I'll be back in 5 months!!!!
