Selesai

Well I have finally finished an intense semester of study at Universitas Sanata Dharma; seriously I think this has been the hardest semester since year 12. On Monday I handed in my final assignment - a multimedia assignment which marked the end of my study here. Whilst, there is a saddness that the end is approaching I think it's more relief than anything that I feel. I now have some time to relax, do some exploring and plan my next move - whether that be returning to Australia or staying here remains unclear. I am waiting to hear back about a couple of jobs.

This week has been crazy again. Straight after handing in my final assignment on Monday I headed to the beach going past Kota Gede on the way to check out some silver which I couldn't help buying (whether it is for myself or a present i'm still unsure - maybe a present to myself :p). Tuesday was filled with running around photocopying, organising my work folder to hand into ACICIS and trying to get organised to head to a number of police stations to organise a police clearance. You wouldn't believe how much paperwork goes into this. I then went to a sawah (or rice field) where I flew a kite and waited why my friends went for a jog (or as I believe a walk)!!!!

Wednesday was spent in police stations. Polsek, Polres and finally Polda. I then returned to Polda on Thursday and Friday to try and organise getting my police check sent to the main station in Jakarta so I could avoid a journey. After making a donation to the police I finally succeeded.

On Thursday I also headed up to Kaliurang to an underground Museum (literally underground) up there. Apart from it being freezing (if you can call 24-25 degrees freezing) it was well worth the visit. Maybe the best part of all was I went on the tour for Indonesian speakers and I could understand!!!!!!!!!!! It's such a great feeling.

Friday I went fishing in a pond to the north of Yogya. Yes Mum and Dad I went fishing. I managaed to catch the most and the biggest fish which was definately a bragging point considering I went with three boys! We then had a delicious dinner of fish follow by a night of watching reggae.

Saturday was a lazy day as was today (i'm heading to the spa later).


This week has also marked the end of another Semester 31er in Yogya. I waved Sophie off at the airport early Tuesday morning! Now there's only 2 or maybe 3 of us standing - me, Yasmin and possibly Dave W!!! A number of this semester's kids have also headed of. I also said goodbye this week to Sina who's been here for a year as well. It has made me realise that time is short and this year has flown by!


Hope all is well back in reality
