Teman-teman dekat saya sampai lupa kalau saya juga bakal KKN pada Januari 2013, soalnya saya nggak menunjukkan bahwa saya memikirkan itu sama sekali.

Well, ada sih, setitik, di pojok, nyelip di bawah sofa, silakan dicari sendiri ya, makasih. Lagipula kan sudah ada teman-teman yang janjian bakal KKN bareng (Tifa dan Ufi). Jadi ya, biarkan mereka yang memilih. Saya sih ikut aja. Mau di tempat yang dekat sama kot...
