Dear My Sisters

This will be my second letter to my sisters. I am writing this virtually since I can’t afford to send them directly because we live in a different country. Nearly three years ago, I wrote a letter to my sisters to celebrate International Siblings Day. Let me note again to let them know how thankful I am to have both of them by my side. Being a middle child is benison. I have one older sister and…

a plan and a failure

I often wonder. Wander about what my future looks like. What if I go back to the past for once to fix things that led me to some past failures? But sometimes I also wonder, if I didn’t experience that failure in my past, would I have a far better life? Or even worst? At twenty-two years old, breathing the oxygen in this world made me realize how ‘alone time’ is crucial. It made me realize how…

polski-log 31: an epilog, goodbye for real Poland!

This journey will soon come to an end. Today is my last day in Warszawa, Poland, and Europe. I was a little sad, but I can’t wait to meet my mom and dad again (I can’t even see my sisters yet since they are not in Indonesia). From the deepest of my heart, this exchange is a life-changing experience that will be stored in my core memory. Experiencing this kind of exchange in my early 22 was a…

polski-log 30: dating myself

Happy May Day! It’s the first of May, and a long weekend in Poland. I planned to visit many museums on my second day at Warszawa, but since today was a holiday, I could only visit two places. The first one is Observation Deck at Palace Culture and Science. It’s not far from my hotel so I thought walking would be better. When I arrived at the palace, the queue was long, like people standing on…

polski-log 29: off to Warszawa

I’m not sure if I slept well last night because it’s hard to sleep. I don’t know why. Maybe because I felt lonely, or maybe because I was too excited for tomorrow. Still, I’m blessed that I didn’t wake up late. I woke up at 5:30 a.m. Since I’m on a period, I don’t need to do the obligatory prayer. As soon as I woke up, I read some prayers that my parents always remind me to do everywhere, and…

polski-log 28: it’s not the same as it was

The weather was friendly today. Sadly, I will have my own now since today because my roommate will leave the dorm (but I am always on my own). Daphne left at 8:30 a.m. Natalia accompanied her to the airport, and actually, she didn’t go straight to Brazil; she flew to Spain and met her family there for a short vacation. What a wonderful! Hope she has a great holiday in Spain. I have been thinking…

polski-log 27: a skittish day

I felt nervous since last night because this will be my last internship day. I’m happy but also sad knowing I’ll soon leave the colossal hospital, the beautiful city, and the great people here. Time elapsed so fast. Just yesterday, I arrived here, started my first internship day, and now it’s time to say goodbye. I decided to attend today’s surgeries but not all of them. I joined the first two,…

polski-log 26: too short to be called ‘a day in my intern life’

l woke up a little bit late. I was supposed to wake up at 1:00 a.m. since the Subuh prayer started at 2:15 a.m., but I woke up at 3:15 a.m. Then, I prayed and recited Al-Quran. The sun rises at 5:14 a.m., so I decided to sleep for a while and woke up again at 05:50 a.m. After that, I took a bath and held my Dhuha prayer. Around 6:30 a.m. I finally had my breakfast and then ironed my hijab, and at…

polski-log 25: revision on Wednesday

Was I too enthusiastic today? I finished getting ready for the hospital at 7:00 a.m. I’m not usually like this, but that’s okay. It was a good thing, right? I did some of my to-do lists before I left. I almost fell asleep, but luckily, my friend’s alarm rang, so I woke up again at 7:30 a.m. I decided to walk to the hospital. Right knee ACL reconstruction welcomed me in the morning. An hour…

polski-log 24: a heart-wrenching history of the world

Not a warm Tuesday is here. It’s cloudy and cloud. I think the spring isn’t ready, but I hope it will come during these days since this is my last week. I didn’t go to the hospital today because of the previous surgery yesterday; Doctor Joanna told me that there would be only hip and knee arthroplasty tomorrow, and I’ve seen it a few times. She told me that it might be boring. That’s why I…

polski-log 23: last Monday in the hospital

It’s pretty lazy to wake up this Monday, but I’m sure there will be something new. After had my breakfast, I went to the hospital. I took the surgical clothes since the door was open, so I didn’t need someone to open it. I met Kate. She will go home after the 24-hour shift, but I was so lucky to meet her that she offered to accompany me and opened the changing room door with her ID card. I don’t…

polski-log 22: (not really) a short getaway

Sleeping at night and knowing that tomorrow will be Sunday is heaven! I woke up after praying and sleeping again and felt energized. I bathed, prayed again, ate my brunch (an apple, dates, and milk), and got ready. Today, Daphne and I planned to walk around the Old Town to check good souvenir shops, have lunch, and go to the beach called Molo w Brzeźnie. It was so crowded when we got off the…

polski-log 21: a warm party

It was blissful to have another weekend finally. Saturday, the first day of every weekend. This Saturday seems warmer than last week. The sun is also complete at noon, the flower starts to bloom, and the weather is pleasant (not too cold or hot). Spring is finally coming around, and expecting that the weather will always be this good until my last day. I hope I will be radiancy and flourish as…

polski-log 20: a long day

I woke up and realized that today was an Eid Al-Fitr, a day when Muslims celebrate the end of Ramadhan by praying 2-rakaat in the morning, staying in touch with their loved ones, and eating unique cuisines (in Indonesia, usually we eat with ketupat, chicken opor, and rendang) during these special days. I’m happy to know that Eid Al-Fitr has come, but deep inside my heart, I feel dejected since…

polski-log 19: last day of Ramadhan (in Poland)

Today is my last day of fasting in the holy month, Ramadhan. I feel doubtful, between happy and sad, but I never feel happier when Ramadhan ends. As you know, Ramadhan is a particular month for Muslims. This month, God multiplies our rewards by doing prayers, good deeds, and positive things. I also feel more secure and hallowed during this month. I hope we meet in the next Ramadhan and live with…

polski-log 18: about wednesday

The middle day of weekdays is Wednesday. Again, I walk to the hospital early and enter the department, joining the patient’s visit with the doctors, nurses, and residents. After that, I head out to the operating theater. Oh no, the first surgery has already started. I rushed and went to the room, standing near the operating table. Doctor Kuik was doing a deformation correction of left hallux…

polski-log 17: tuesday looked new

Tuesday, was a typical day of my intern day, but I decided to end my day earlier because of the surgery types. So, they have five surgeries today, but 4 out of 5 were total arthroplasty, and another is the revision reconstruction of ACL. Before that, when I arrived at the department, all doctors and residents were on a patient visit. So, Doctor Stasiak invited me to join the visit. It was a…
