When I was in last year of high school, I envy my seniors a lot because they have longer holiday than us--senior year students who still struggle with exams shit. Anyway, when I finally became a college student and got my first 2 months holiday, I became bored. It's like literally you don't have anything to do. All I do is wakes up late (10am!!), watching dramas or good programs on TV, and then sleep again.
So today I googled some 30 days challenge exercise (I need to cut off those New Year fat) and suddenly this idea popped up on my mind: why don't you make a 30 days blog challenge? At least I can practice my writing skills, both in Indonesian and in English. After googling some challenges, I found a challenge that I think it is answer-able (omg it's not even a word). This is my second 30 Days Challenge lol, let's see if I can make it until the last day.
The first day challenge is to write some basic things about myself. Well, basic like... place of birth, favorite food, or something like that? I hope I can write more than that. Let's see.
My name is Meyfitha Dea Khairunnisa, but I like to shortened my name to Meyfitha Dea K. My name--like the other people's name--have a good meaning (of course). Meyfitha means gift on May 7, Dea is my father's and mother's name, and Khairunnisa is from Arabic which means best of women. My nickname is Dea. I got nickname Mei-mei because when I was child I was the whitest among all my families and small-eyed so they teased me with that nickname. I was born in Jakarta on Tuesday (May 7, 1996) morning. My zodiac is Taurus and my Chinese zodiac is rat.
My hair is curly but I straightened them last year and it's black. My eyes color are dark brown and I have minus (4,5 on right eye and 3,5 on left eye). My blood type is O. I weighed about 46-47 kg and about 157-159 cm tall.
I entered elementary school on 2002 and graduated from there on 2008. My grades were good, I ranked 1st in my class 6 times row (that means 6 years :D). I continued my school to a public junior high school on 2008 and graduated on 2010. Yes, I was in accelerated class. Many people said it was hard to be in accelerated class since you have to finish your education in 2 years where it supposed to be 3 years. I think I enjoyed my junior high time too much lol, I went to mall like almost everyday. After graduated from junior high, I continued to public-but-more-like-private science school on 2010. I think it was the hardest 3 years of my life, so far. I failed in 4 major science programs (math, physics, chem, bio) but among those subjects, I prefer chemistry the best. Believe it or not, my name was on the list of most-likely-student-who-can't-graduate. I'm so happy when I finally graduated with pretty good UN score because I can prove that I'm not like what they thought. After graduated from high school, I want to study geological engineering in Jogjakarta. But I got rejected by the university for three times. I was disappointed, really. In the end, I got Chinese Studies major. I was disappointed at first because deep inside my heart, I want to study in science major but after thinking about it I understand that maybe God really don't want to see I disappoint my parents again with my score like I did in high school days.
Anyway, I have 2 younger brothers. I asked my mom to give me a little sister, but having one more child is not as easy as you think, lol.
I don't have any particular hobbies since I like to do new things. But since I was child I really like reading, swimming, doing outdoor activities. I was really competitive in sports back then despite of my height. And I have kind of embarrassing story. When I was in last year of elementary school, I have a P.E. final test. One of the test is basketball's shooting. We have 10 (or 15, I forget) attempts to shoot. I was really short that time and I can't make any shoot. I was about to cry, really. I forget about my score that my teacher gave but yeah, I passed. I joined taekwondo and stop practicing when I was preparing for UN.
I think I should stop here because I really don't know what can I write more about myself. I hope this is enough :D
P.S. This is my longest English post lol I never post anything in English before. Sorry if you spot any grammar mistakes!

Ada banyak hal di dunia ini yang membuat gue sering mempertanyakan hal tersebut; cara terbentuknya manusia dari sperma dan telur (aja), ide orang-orang zaman Cina dulu bikin tulisan hanzi, dunia di dimensi berbeda, logika orang membagi waktu, konsep ulang tahun, tahun baru. Menurut gue itu hanya setitik bagian dari hal-hal di dunia ini yang perlu dipertanyakan.
Belum ada setengah jam sejak pergantian tahun ke tahun 2014. Tahun baru ini gue ngga kemana-mana. Gue hanya di kamar, baca seri The Chronicles of Narnia yang baru gue baca dua dari tujuh novel sambil download lagu-lagu pengisi iTunes gue karena lagu-lagu gue hilang waktu laptop gue diservis. Semakin bertambahnya umur, gue semakin ngga berminat untuk ngerayain hal-hal yang biasa dirayain orang-orang secara besar-besaran--ulang tahun dan tahun baru contohnya. Menurut gue, malam tahun baru sebenernya sama aja kayak malam-malam sebelumnya jadi ngga perlu dirayain besar-besaran. Toh perayaan-perayaan itu cuma bertahan berapa lama sih, paling lama juga satu setengah jam. Sejauh ini gue juga masih takjub bagaimana satu detik itu bisa mengubah tahun padahal sih ya sama aja. Satu hari tetep 24 jam, gue masih tinggal di Pancoran, dan gue masihsingle belom bisa berhenti dengerin Kpop hahaha.
Tahun 2013 menurut gue tahun yang lumayan berat buat gue dan keluarga gue. Rasanya masalah ngga selesai-selesai dan sekarang udah hampir... wait. 7 tahun. Bukan waktu yang sebentar tapi gue rasa itu semua ngga bakal selesai dalam waktu dekat. Yah, gue cuma berharap sih bisa selesai secepatnya. Kalau bisa tahun ini selesai gue bakal bersyukur banget. Meskipun kayaknya ngga semudah itu apa salahnya berdoa minta yang terbaik.
Tahun 2013 akhirnya gue lulus SMA. Setelah 3 tahun penuh perjuangan dan air mata akhirnya gue dan temen-temen Thamrin02 lulus. Terdengar lebay tapi gue rasa sejak tahun kedua gue dan yang lain udah mengalami tekanan mental 'sekolah unggulan'. Apalagi menjelang lulus makin banyak tekanan yang bikin kita semua stress dan ngga yakin. Setiap try out rasanya udah pasrah banyak yang bolak-balik dipanggil. Tapi ternyata kita semua lulus dengan nilai lumayan, meskipun nilai-nilai kita ngga masuk peringkat berapa besar di Jakarta (dan ngga ada yang mengharapkan itu by the way). Berbulan-bulan setelah keluar asrama rasanya ada yang hilang. Banyak yang bilang pengen balik lagi ke asrama padahal waktu disana nangis-nangis pengen cepet lulus hahaha.
Tahun 2013 gue resmi diterima di Universitas Indonesia jurusan Sastra Cina. Kenapa bisa Sastra Cina, hanya Tuhan dan panitia SIMAK UI yang tau. 3 tahun sekolah di sekolah yang berorientasi sains dan sempet bercita-cita jadi ahli kimia forensik bikin gue sempet minder karena jurusan gue melenceng jauh dari ilmu yang gue pelajarin selama ini. Tapi semakin kesini gue cuek aja, toh belajar bahasa ngga segampang itu apalagi bahasa Mandarin kan bahasa paling sulit di dunia. Sempet sayang juga karena ilmu kimia gue akhirnya ngga kepake. Padahal di SMA nilai gue lumayan disitu; ngga sejelek pelajaran eksak lainnya tapi paling mending dari pelajaran eksak lainnya. Semakin kesini gue udah mulai enjoy belajar bahasa dan budaya karena mungkin passion gue disini tapi gue dari dulu mencoba mengelak dari kenyataan (bahasa gue).
Tahun 2014?
Tahun 2014 masih terlalu blur bagi gue. Gue ngga terbiasa memasang resolusi tahun baru karena menurut gue hidup itu ngga harus bergantung sama resolusi. Paling resolusinya memperbaiki diri aja dari tahun kemarin, apa-apa aja yang harus diperbaiki, semacam itu. Gue cuma berharap tahun ini gue bisa jadi pribadi yang makin baik, ngga nunda-nunda shalat lagi, rajin ngulang pelajaran, dan lain-lain yang akan menyusul dengan sendirinya seiring berjalannya waktu.
