My elder sister told me that there is a three-month scholarship program in Indonesia. She didn't say specifically what courses they are offering, but after researching it on the net I feel that I should, at least try to apply.
I've applied before, back in 2007. Back then, things were different, I just arrived from a year long stint in Indonesia and returned to help my family get back on its feet after our old home was burnt to ashes. Also, I was madly in love with my guy back then and it was so good to finally be able to actually hold him after experiencing our first long distance relationship - thing. My eldest sister told me to apply for it since it would have been a good opportunity for me and I did with some resistance. I was accepted but I declined their offer, when my family asked me what happened to my application, I told them I didn't make it.
I was young, foolish and in love.
Now, I am considering applying again. I am still of age and I do miss Indonesia (though I do not miss how lonely I was back then).
After carefully scanning their programs and schools, one school stood out for me because it also offered photography courses aside from the Indonesian language course; the Indonesian Arts Institute in Yogyakarta.
Yogyakarta is a lovely place and it is one of the places I didn't get the chance of seeing when I was still in Indonesia.
Hopefully I'd get accepted. After everything that has happened in the past couple of weeks, I am more than ever determined to get away from "friends", family and other b*llsh*t in my life.
Aside from needing to know more people, I need to learn new things in life.
