"What is it Today?" by Roemaly
Hello! My name is Alya Puspaningrum. Usually people call me Alya or Ale. And Happy Monday! First day of the week to start. It's time for the general schedule this week. Let the first lesson as usual begin a subject that I find terrifying is mathematics. Yeah, I assume math is scary because my passion isn't math hehe.
Next lesson is English. By the way, it was time for the daily English exam. Hmm, that shouldn't be too hard. There's just a few words I'm not sure what that means. But it's okay, it's not a big deal to me.
The last subject was the Javanese. Yes, my domicily in Yogyakarta, so there's a Javanese lesson in my school. I also haven't been too late in Javanese because I'm a new addition to Yogyakarta. Earlier I came from bekasi.
Ahh, thinking of Bekasi, I got homesick. Miss my hometown. Miss friends, family as well as all the memories of my childhood in Bekasi. I used to think I'd never miss Bekasi. I thought "ahh, how could I miss bekasi. Bekasi was not a special city like Yogyakarta, Bandung, or Jakarta." But the reality is not. A town that can turn out to be special because of its memories, especially if it's your hometown. You can't escape it if you miss the city.
Next time when all of today's subjects are finished, at 1:00 p.m., I have a regular meeting with the student council members at my school. We talked about a continuation of the work program, an interview with student council seniors, a lot. But from that meeting, it's been a lot of fun. We have a lot of plans that come true or not.
Me too today, just now, say hi to my friends being told over the Google meeting! It's my first time, because I usually don't use a video call. Or voice call hehee.
Besides, I don't think anything else is so exciting today. Oh, I forgot one thing, one of the very interesting parts today is that I participated in an event writing on the theme "What is it today?" which was held by Meta State Publishing. It's probably one of my first steps in writing. I don't know, it just dawned on me that passion's writing this new one just because I'm the secretary of two organizations, the student council and the council of wildlife.
To be honest I'm really still a skeptic with passion. I still doubt whether I really have passion writing or not just because I became a secretary. Because I've never been a writer anywhere. At wattpad or elsewhere. Never had one before. I've only been in short stories in my middle school and in which I wrote out of the blue that day, and well, that's not bad because I finally got second place. After that I tried to follow up on a short story held nationwide. I lost, but I wasn't surprised because I was just trying, and well, I failed. But it's okay.
I've never really felt confident in my writing in poetry, in novels or in short stories because I don't know how to tell the right story, plus I'm now inclined to practice at first, then from the practice I'll see where I'm wrong, then I'll try to fix it up again at the next opportunity. Not the ones who figure it out in the first place on the first chance it works. But it's okay, so far I still feel comfortable with myself.
Well, I hope that after attending this event, I can become more aware of myself that it's actually passion of anything. Wish me luck!
