1/1

I have finished my mapping practice in Karangsambung, Kebumen. It took 2 weeks

and i felt isolated there. But in the other hand i felt very very happy because i could meet

my college friends everyday, at breakfast and dinner time, and also everytime we made daily

report and made tracks plan in the night that made us bored and frustated.

I did activity scheduled. In barrack, started from wake up in the early morning,

bathroom queueing, watched my friends make up her own face, drying her hair and chit-

chatting. At 6 oclock we would had be in dining room to have breakfast together. After

that, we went back to the barrack to prepare our field equipments. At 7 oclock we gathered

in the yard with our team and our lecturer to have briefing before going to field.

My partners in the field are Ipul and si Bos Gant ng from Manokwari, Samuel. I

went to the field with Samuel for 2 days and the other days with Ipul. At 8 am until 5 pm we

were in the field, and took a little time for break to ate our own foodprovision and did

prayer. Before our working time end, sometimes we alocated time to visit the Luk Ulo

super river to relax and enjoy the view, just played with the water or took some our

pictures together and act like local youth before went back to barrack.

Something that i found everyday just outcrop, forest, bushes and river, sometimes

snakes or peoples sewage, errrrr! I had a moment where there was a frog standing beside

my foot and then a snake appeared and grabbed the frog suddenly. How lucky i was the

snake didn't make a fault to grab and bit my foot. And the most disgusting thing was when iwas untentionally stepped on the fresh sewage, ugh!!! I hate it to the max.

Besides that, i found something I called "individual attractiveness". I liked to step on

the dry leaves. I always enjoy the sounds they made. When i entered the jungle, i found so

many falling dry leaves and i tought it is heaven!. So, when my partner observed the

outcrop in his kavling, i made a thousand steps in the dry leaves instead and then my partner

gave a comment, in javanesse: plis deh Nggik koe ra sah bahagia.. Hmm, i assumed he just

had not tried to make a step on dry leaves yet. Arrived in barrack, i queued to take

a bath immediately and after that we always shared everything that we found in the field,

gossiping or having short sleep while waiting dinner time at 6.30 PM. And all these activities

repeated for 16 days. What a great experience and precious lesson for me and my friends for

having this moment together before we live our own life.
