SAFIRA NURFADILA

hello, people!
it's 7:59 p.m. and raining outside. saturday night and staying at home just like the other days. what do you expect from my weekend? lol. what makes weekend different is that i can run away from my uber busy college life for a moment, just a little moment, and i can spare my time to watch korean drama and tv shows, workout (which i barely do), and many more. but tonight i decide to write since its been so long, right!
to be very honest, my life has been totally changed since day 1 of college. in a good way; in a bad way.
i am really grateful to have the chance to get into faculty of medicine andalas university through sbmptn. i never thought that i'd be here today because being a doctor was just my childhood dream that i have left long time ago. but on june 28, 2016, my path has been chosen. and there is no coming back.
i started college happily, thinking that i was the chosen one. my college adopts the problem-based learning system so the students are divided into small groups consisting of 10 people that will last for one year. but my group only consisted of 9 people since one of the members decided to enroll in another college. now let me introduce my group, 1A.

these were our first photos omg look at our fetus looks cri how fast time flies!! feels like yesterday but its actually one year ago. raissa, rofifa, frieska, karin, fani, dwi, caki, and our one and only ejak. they are my first love in medical school life. my dumb phase i spent with them. i was lucky to be in a group with these people. i can throw a joke and they get it without getting offended by the way i talk since i come from medan and many people get surprised at my speaking tone. my groupmates from padang admitted that they were surprised too at first but then they could accept it. i tried to adapt to my new surroundings; the people and the way they talked to each other which is very different to my old place. i used to casually call my friends with "kau" but it is considered harsh in here. "kamu" is the right thing to address your friend. i found it very cringeworthy as in medan "kamu" is often used by people who flirt with someone they like, and also used when you talk to people you don't know. but for me, if i know someone's name, i'd rather call them by their name like "ejak mau kemana?" than "kamu mau kemana?" because the latter would sound so flirty. even if i'm not close to a friend, if we're the same age, then i will just call her with "kau". that's how medan people normally talk. why so surprised, people?
still, "dimana bumi dipijak, disitu langit dijunjung", the proverb said.
i managed to adapt well with the linguistic issue. i can't call friends by "kau" forever as "kamu" sounds more polite and more accepted. buuut having friends from pekanbaru and jambi really gives me comfort. they speak the same language family as me and that makes me feel quite like home.

Udah lamaaa gak buka blog ini. Aku jadi kangen.  Pengen numpahin isi pikiran aku disini. Sebenernya draft postingannya ini udah aku bikin sejak 2 hari sebelum pengumuman kelulusan UN. Tapi mungkin dulu aku terlalu sibuk ngurus masuk SMA jadi aku tega melupakan blog kamu, blog. Maafin aku ya :( Kali ini, aku mau cerita sedikit kebiasaan aku sama temen-temen waktu SMP dulu. Jujur, susah ngelupain ini semua. Meskipun aku susah juga mengingat semuanya. Gatau kenapa deh kok ingatan aku belakangan agak berkurang. Yaudah, gausah dipikirin, apalagi dicemasin. Aku cuma mau cerita kok.

Biasanya tiap pagi aku atau Daffa atau Gufi atau Opan atau Teguh (aduh banyak amat) dateng paling pagi. Terus baca asmaul husna rame-rame sebelum belajar. Ke kantin pas jam istirahat bareng B-Club. Aaaa I miss B-Club!! Yah seperti biasa B-Club sebelum beli makanan pasti tebengong dulu. Terus kalo udah sadar, bilang "udah? gini aja?" Barulah mulai gerak beli jajan semuanya. Makanannya itu-itu aja. Kalo gak bakso, pempek, bakso ikan, pisang goreng. Ferby yang hobi beli bakso tapi kuah baksonya item kayak orangnya tapi manis kayak yang nulis, tapi sering ngutang. Tira, si behel yang suka betekak sama Ferby, juga suka beli bakso ikan tanpa ngutang. Pipit yang sering galau dan sering ngedumel sendiri kalo si doi nyuekin dia. Aku, yang tetap bertahan dengan menu andalan tiap hari, 4 chocolatos. Biasanya kita beli pisang goreng terus kita banyak-banyakin cokelatnya (yah, who doesn't?) sampe-sampe sekarang penjualnya selalu megangin botol cokelatnya tiap ada yang beli. Pulang sekolah, sebelum les, kita turun ke kantin membeli makan siang. Tapi biasanya aku dan Tira bawa bekal dari rumah. Pipit dan Ferby jarang bawa bekal. Mereka memang sehati dan selalu bersama. Saat jalan pun mereka berdua. Lalu naik ke kelas makan bareng. Abis makan, turun ke kantin lagi. Kadang tour keliling sekolah. Kalo lagi kumat, kami mau aja jalan dari gedung sekolah ke lapangan basket tanpa makai sepatu atau sandal. Karena dulu kami sholat dzuhur berjamaah di sekolah, jadi pas jam terakhir lebih enak pake sandal aja. Terus, les. Belajar tapi gak serius-serius kali. Pulang les, kalo hujan nunggu di lobby sambil konser. Nunggu konser siap baru pulang, bukannya nunggu hujan berhenti.

Terus lapangan bola. Kalo jam olahraga, yang cowok selalu main bola. Kadang kalo lagi pengen keliatan ganteng, mereka sok-sokan main basket. Kalo lagi liatin mereka main basket, kami cewek-cewek suka jerit gak jelas supaya kayak di komik-komik gitu ngeliatin cowok main basket terus teriak "kyaaa!" (atau cuma aku yang jerit?). Padahal biasa aja. Yang cewek sukanya main baseball. Tapi aku lebih suka ikut main bola bareng cowok-cowok unyuku. Nggak sih, bukan ikut main, tapi gangguin mereka. Untungnya, mereka pengertian dan selalu sabar kalo aku udah mulai turun ke lapangan. Tapi semua itu harus berakhir. Jangan, jangan berakhir. Itu semua cuma berhenti untuk sementara waktu. Selama kami semua berusaha mencapai tujuan masing-masing, selama itulah kebiasaan-kebiasaan itu harus dihentikan. Aku seneng bisa ngelewatin 3 tahun itu bareng kalian. Beberapa dari kalian justru udah jadi bagian dari hidup aku sejak kita SD. Tapi sekarang kita udah SMA. Kita udah besar. Besar bareng-bareng. Sayangnya, mulai sekarang kita udah gak bisa tumbuh besar bareng di tempat yang sama. Aku rindu kalian!!!!!! Menurut aku, kata 'rindu' lebih dalam dari 'kangen'. Makanya aku pakai kata itu buat kalian. Jangan sampai ada yang melupakan atau dilupakan, apalagi terlupakan.  Aku sayang kalian, cimit-cimitku. :(
