How do you keep yourself awake?

In recent days, when the weather is changing to heavy rains and cool temperatures, I usually feel sleepy. How do you keep yourself awake? This is an important time. I have to focus on some things but I can’t do anything because of the sleepiness. My schedule is to go to bed at 12 am and get up at 7 am. This is a lazy schedule because of it makes me sleepy. I wish I could always keep myself awake when I study English and work at my job. I tried to find some ways to resolve my problem such as: drink coffee, eat something, do exercise, wash my face with ice water and so forth. But none of these ways seem to work.

Maybe, I have not had enough motivation to push me in order to do everything at the moment. When I think about what will happen on my IELTS exam, I feel nervous and worried. But it won't happen for a long time. I will forget all of my fear and my anxiety when I grow tired. This is a big reason why I don’t know what I did 3 weeks ago.

I realize that I am lazier when I return home in a tired mood after my job. I forget the habit of talking with foreign friends each day and speaking with my friend, who is a English teacher from Indonesia. Then I miss the lesson with my teacher. I don’t want to say anything to excuse for all of my laziness. That is all my fault and I have to be responsible for all of the results that I will receive in the future. With my English level at the moment, I am sure that I won't get a high score when I take the IELTS exam. Should I retake next exam in the next year, in order to achieve at least 6.5 mark? Just because of my laziness, I will throw my money out my window (at least, that is the fee for resigning from the IELTS exam again).

There are so many things that I will have to study in this year and in next year. So as to make my dream become true, I will pursue it with my patience and passion for 2 years, including this year. I hope I can pick sweet fruits (thanks to germinating trees) if I take care and don't give up on my dreams. And I hope I can keep myself awake when the winter comes. Can you give me some advise to avoid the sleepiness? Thanks!

(I am sure that my entry will have a lot of mistakes because I can’t use my dictionary and can’t check spelling and grammar with my broken computer.)

Goodbye Nui

I have two chicks. I bought them from a plaza. I love them and I have fed them until they've grown up.

Today, I thought that they were strong enough, so I let them out to find their food by themselves.
Anyway, I had to go to work but I forgot to keep them in the cage. As I was working, my mom called me and said that Nui (one of them was named Nui) died from being bitten by a dog. I'm sorry about my big mistake. Nui has gone. He must have hurt so mush when he died. I want to say sorry, Nui. I'll take care of Tui (the remaining chick is named Tui) as well as I can from now on.

I'm Mohamed from Morocco!

I'm learning Spanish because I will need it in my work and I would like to make friends from all over the world. My native language is Arabic and I'm a Moroccan citizen. My favorite hobbies are playing/watching sports, listening to music, reading newspapers, and travelling.
