Glad I documented all years well. In 2016 I danced like I was possessed. With my hair so short, little was I aware that I was pushing 30. I felt the youngest because I was so alive. Students were working on Rising Action for their fantasy story. I gave a spontaneous example as such: Event 1: I kicked my time machine, was upset because it didn't work.  Event 2: Called my engineer friend. He told me how to fix it but warned me of the danger. Event 3: The time machine worked! I went to 2019. Climax: The machine broke and I could not go back to 2026. Then I asked them "How old were you in 2020?". They were four or five. I observed if they remember about the lockdown. They said yeah, they got covid but luckily survived. I said it was terrorizing for me.

kentututan

Tuntutan sosial makin tua makin ngadi-ngadi aja. Misal pas masa sekolah SD-SMA, dituntut untuk nilai rapor bagus. Oke, bisa diusahain dengan belajar, nyontek, dari cara halal sampe haram bisa. Toh yang diminta hasil akhir, nggak peduli prosesnya kan. Jadi kalau aku nggak berhasil, boleh deh dibilang emang nggak mau atau nggak ngusahain. Masa kuliah, dituntut lulus dalam 4 tahun, gagal, mundur setahun karena tipe kuliahnya kolaboratif dan kalau partner kelompok mengacau, kita ikutan terhambat kecuali kick dia dari kelompok dan ujian sendirian (yang mana biayanya akan menggila). Lulus kuliah, harus jadi perempuan produktif, oke dengan senang hati. Sampe bisa beli ipad terus jalan2 ke Lombok saking produktifnya -- kerja di 3 website. Menikah untungnya nggak dituntut, karena kalau salah pilih pasangan bisa fatal. Cuma didoakan dan dijampi-jampi aja, nggak dituntut. Udah nikah, dituntut punya anak. Buset, itu ngusahainnya apa kayak ujian matematika gitu? Ada rumus yang bisa dihafalkan kah? ...
