A Long Road to Get Drivers License in NC

This post is my promise. Whenever I get my driver license I will write the story and share it in my blog. This is a special moment in my life, this is a truly life in U.S.A. So, what does this means? Yeah, finally I got my driver license yesterday, 30-1-2014. I've been waiting for this moment for four months. Actually I have 2 kinds of drivers licenses in Indonesia, car and motorcycle. Driving for me is not a new thing, not a hobby, I drive because I need to drive. Especially in my hometown, Belitung Island, where is rarely people there use public transportation. I don't know how it starts. Is it because of the cost of public transportation is more expensive? Is it public transportation uncomfortable? Is it people just like to drive by themself? Is it faster?

Atlanta was the second city that I've visited after Washington DC. This city is larger than Charlotte, North Carolina. I've been living in NC for 4 months and I still have 8 months to go.

2014

Happy new year!! Sudah 2014 aja. Right now at 2.41 pagi waktu North Carolina, I'm laying down on my bed. Kaki masih terasa sedikit sakit. Maklum baru dari acara party, yes yang mengkondisikan pakai high heels, make up, and dress up. Kind of American life, ga jauh-jauh dari party. Ngomong-ngomong resolusi taun baru, hmm apa ya? Kayaknya taun ini ga muluk-muluk lah wishes nya, cuma pengen ga malas aja. Ga malas segala-galanya, ga malas mandi, ga malas kerja, ga malas nyuci, ga malas nulis, ga malas berdoa, ga malas jalan-jalan 😎, ga malas shopping, ga malas dandan, ga malas flirting 😜, ga malas nabung, dan lain sebagainya. Sudah hampir 5 bulan terakhir di Amerika. sedikit banyak hal baru didapat. Teman baru, makanan dan minuman baru, lifestyle baru, tantangan  baru, dan problems baru. But, I enjoyed it. That's a life.
