Hi everyone,

Today has been a really rough day.  I've been studying all day long and I've yet to finish. I was at university in the morning and then I went to my mate's house to study with him. When I got home in the early evening. I still had to eat, so I cooked dinner.

I set the table, ate and then (I) cleaned up after myself. A few days ago, my mum told me my brother needs a place to stay (in the city) as he's got a new job in a fancy restaurant. So he'll be moving in with me sometime next week.

I'm happy enough about this but the living situation should be interesting as we're fairly different people (and it has been a while since we both lived under the same roof). He's a bit absent-minded and generally has his head in the clouds. Most of the time he seems to be in a world of his own (but I guess if it works for him, who am I to judge).

Thankfully, he's a really tidy person and he also cooks really well. His recipes are delicious and he's happy to play chef so I won't have to struggle in the kitchen anymore. His presence is going to be (gonna be) crucial in next few weeks as I've several exams and won't have a minute to spare to think about cooking or cleaning.

Notes:

Hey Giovanni,

Nice text - very conversational which is a good thing. You've already received corrections so consider my post as offering some suggestions. 

I would avoid using 'yummy' unless you are a woman or a child - unless talking to a child - That looks yummy.

I'd also recommend using 'cooker' instead of 'stove'. But this may be an Irish thing.

Phrase about 'struggling in the kitchen' sounds good to me.

Use 'Mum' if you want to speak British English or 'Mom' for Am-English.

Hello everybody, today has been a really rough day, if fact, I've been studying all day long, and haven't finished yet. I went to the university in the morning, and then I went to a friend's house to study with him. When I came home in the late afternoon, I had to cook dinner, so I set the table, ate and then I cleaned the stove, and put the dishes in the dishwasher. A few days ago, my mom told me that my brother will move in to my house next week, in order to work in a fancy restaurant in the city. I'm really glad about his moving here, and his new job, however, he is in some ways, different than I am. While working, he tends to be absent minded, and has his head in the clouds. It often seems like he is in his own world. However, the important thing is, he is a really tidy person, and he also cooks very well. His recipes are delicious and yummy, so I won't have to cook anymore. His presence will be fundamental in the coming weeks, because I will have several exams, and I won't have enough time to think about cooking or cleaning.

Overall Giovanni, I was very impressed this is nicely written, with very few mistakes! I think you had good word choice, though I think a few words were misplaced. I also think, that there was a lot of repetition of the same ideas and too many words being used in the original text. In terms of your question, I would write either, "So I won't have to cook anymore." Or, "So I won't have to struggle in the kitchen." If you have any questions, please let me know!
