Graduation! 


Yay, I just "graduated" today! I mean... being ingraduation ceremony, but I didn't get a diploma, only a certificate of attendance instead. That's fine, that won't help anyway if I have to study for another "real school year" in Indonesia. I'm not interested in doing SPMB (college entrance exam) this year. Going to school in US? I've been thinking about it lots of times... but it's so pricey! I can't just rely on scholarships, not enough if only from the school, but I don't wanna apply for company sponsored if I have to work in US. I wanna live in Jakarta! :D Also for transportation... plane ticket for 4 years? oh well, just wanna go somewhere closer, and of course cheaper :D

So, this week I just had finals... but, I slacked off for all of them :D Went to see Troy on Sunday night (so... so, I'm not a big fan of epic movies), Shrek 2 on Monday night (I recommend this! much funnier than the 1st one!), then Indonesian performance in Chicago Cultural Center (Ira W, Katon B, Jaya Suprana, & traditional dances. They're great! But I just felt a bit weird being between Indonesians *??!!* Brought Ryan there too, better than going alone ;) And last night? Just sleeping at home, hehehe :D

And today's Joakim's birthday! We went to an Indian restaurant with his mom & brothers, Ryan, Chad, and me after my graduation. Fun! Hahaha, my __th time having Indian food in the last week. We even still have left over from The Kamaths in fridge :D Oh well, yeah... no more school! We'll have senior picnic tomorrow! OK, I think that's all for now. Cya!

Hi, I'm eLLa. I'm just an ordinary Indonesian high school student. But I'm lucky to get a chance to spend one year as exchange student in Hinsdale, suburb in the west of Chicago, USA. So, here I am... And this is my blog about my life here. Don't be surprised - in many things, Indonesia & USA are really different. Also check out my latest pics at http://photos.yahoo.com/soto_betawi. Still wanna know more about me? Just send e-mail to soto_betawi@yahoo.com. I also use Yahoo!Messenger (soto_betawi) & AIM (lalapsambel)

I love my family & friends, they always support me. In Indonesia, I live with my mom & my sister, Ditta. She's 13 years old now. In USA, I live with my mom, dad & my brother, Milo. Actually I have 2 other brothers, John & Parker, but they go to college & don't live with the family.
My friends are important parts of my life, too. I always miss my friends in SMUN 8 Jakarta-my school, especially 2i & TX (doesn't mean I don't miss the others. I luv u all! :) and other AFS exchange students from all over Indonesia. Anyway, I have fun making friends here. I'm really close with the girls in swim team. They always have fun things to do. And also my friends in International Club, Computer Club, Drama Club, Amnesty International & Scholastic Bowl. Well, I enjoy hanging out with them, making more friends & learning more things :)
