Very Very Long Time

I haven't written (didn't write) here for a long time. I will give you a brief resume of (tell you a quick summary about) what I did during my absence.

Firstly, I graduated in my fourth year at (in) college in 2013 with the overall grade: good (congratulations to me)

Secondly, I applied for a premaster's. I wanted to specialize in Literature, so I studied: Poetry; Criticism; Fiction; Drama; Arabic; and General Linguistics. I passed the exam and got a first place by default (I was the only person who attended all the exams). Now, I should choose a topic to write about and whether to (choose either to) specialize in Fiction or in Drama (I still haven't made (didn't make) a final decision about my major).

Thirdly, I tried to get a job. After being unsuccessful on a couple of occasions, I (I wasn't successful for a couple of times,) currently (I) work as a freelance (freelancer) translator.

Last thing, the last book which I finished reading was: 'The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes'

Great piece of writing. As the title should carry more importance than the essay itself, we usually capitalise the main words.
