Sleep Less, Dream More

Posted on | June 27, 2009 | 5 Comments

I’m facing my third mug of coffee for the last 24 hours, with the desk fan rotating, keeping me dry, and not so lonely. My eyes hurt, and time never stop ticking me closer to twenty. But I’m not feeling like sleeping yet right now.

In fact I’m not a fan of Sleeping. I sleep to live but I don’t live to sleep. I know it sounds unpopular, but I don’t even like DVDs and I don’t watch TV. I don’t have a boyfriend either. You may ask, then what do I do every single day? Hmm… Let me think. I love reading, writing, drawing, and recently I’ve got addicted into photography. Those are enough to keep me from sleeping too much and also they let me dream a lot :)

Today I’m gonna have some bookshopping session. Kinokuniya gives 15% discount for celebrating its anniversary. Yay, yay, yay. Been browsing some names. Safran Foer, Coupland (I’m following his Twitter), Salinger, and my chicklit favorite: Marian Keyes. I even got interested with the famous ‘tokoh kontemporer yang paling menonjol yang dikutuk sebagai murtadin’, Salman Rushdie. Let’s see then ;)

Tales from The Earth

Posted on | June 20, 2009 | 10 Comments

Semester 4 gue di ITB telah selesai. Liburan telah datang. IP udah keluar (Alhamdulillah memuaskan :) ).

2 tahun di ITB belajar dengan tahun pertama belajar mata kuliah dasar teknik (kalkulus, fisika, kimia), lalu masuk program studi Teknik Geologi dan baru setahun terakhir ini betul-betul belajar Geologi.

Waktu gue masuk Teknik Geologi, Ada 3 jenis komentar yang paling banyak gue denger:

  1. “Put, kenapa lo nggak masuk SR aja?”
  2. “Belajar tentang apaan tuh, Put?”
  3. “Itu bukannya belajar batu-batuan ya, Put?” (later, terbukti ini yang paling bener!)

Hahaha. Gue biasanya cuma bilang, “Iya, disuruh bokap sih. Gak boleh SR soalnya.”

That’s the truth. Hehe. Ayah gue yang memilihkan jurusan ini karena katanya prospek kerjanya bagus. Dan memang ternyata setelah masuk jurusan ini, gue merasa sangat beruntung karena nggak ketemu banyak hitung-hitungan (kalkulus gue 2 semester dapet D, FYI, hahah), dan jurusan ini nggak mainstream. (haha, mennn, alasan macam apa itu?! LOL)

Mungkin orang-orang berpikir gue paling indoor-type sedunia: geek yang lebih suka di depan komputer 12 jam ketimbang manjat gunung. Iya, itu betul. Mungkin gue bukan tipe orang yang akan mengisi waktu liburan dengan rafting, hiking, atau menyusuri hutan. Mungkin gue waktu kecil lebih suka baca ensiklopedia tentang kultur masyarakat dunia ketimbang tentang gunung api. Mungkin gue anak yang biasa-biasa aja.

Tapi menurut gue Geologi membuat gue sekarang sedikit lebih mengenal Bumi, dan menurut gue, itu luar biasa :)
Dari yang besar seperti gunung api, sampai yang kecil seperti mikrofosil. Dari plato sampai kristal.

The Wave, Utah - Arizona, USA

Kadang waktu gue belajar, gue seperti membaca dongeng. Dongeng tentang alam. Tentang lapisan-lapisan bumi yang terangkat, dan terlipat. Tentang magma panas yang ada jauh di dalam. Tentang gunung api yang tidur dan lempeng-lempeng yang bergerak perlahan. Tentang pengendapan dan pembentukan batuan yang sangat lama. Tentang bentuk pantai, dan gelombang. Tentang kehidupan di masa lampau, atau ketidak-hidupan di masa yang lebih lampau lagi.

Terdengar filosofis ya. (Yah, kalau ada yang menganggap gue sok filosofis, atau sok berat, atau sok galau, atau sok tau, then why do you keep stalking me? LOL)

Tapi itulah. Gue mengagumi Bumi.
Yang sabar, dan penuh rahasia. :)

Oh iya, sekalian promosi, blog anak-anak himpunan mahasiswa Teknik Geologi ITB, SuaraGEA.com.
Datang yaaa ;)
