My reality..

I am an extraordinary girl who loves singing a lot. I am a student in the State Islamic University "Syarif Hidayatullah" Jakarta. My major is English Letter and now I am in my last semester.

*Take a deep breath*
Actually, the reason I came so far to in this major is because of my mistake.
It's an accident. when I wanted to study in university, I have had (past tense) to choose 2 majors. My first choice is was (past tense) Psychology, I want to be a psychologist. And the second choice is English Letter.

My bad, I failed in the test. I'm not really good at being prepared on testing for a test.
I'm not really happy, but My mother was so happy about it. As a good daughter, I can't show my sadness.

Great note Ninnu, I'm sorry to hear that. I suppose you have to make the most out of what you have though and i'm sure you will do great. Anyway here is how I would write this

*Deep breath*
Actually, I didn't originally plan to be in this major.
When I wanted to study in University, I had to choose 2 majors.

My first choice was Psychology, as i've always wanted to be a phsychologist. And the second choice was English Letter.

Anyway, it's my mistake that I failed, as I'm not really good at preparing for tests.
I'm really unhappy about it, but my mother was really happy. As a good daughter, I can't display my sadness.

Hope this helped! keep up the good work 

Managing Time

Hello everyone, I want to share my problem in managing time.
I am a student of university and I am quite busy with my activities outside the class. It’s quite difficult to manage my time. I have a lot of activities outside the class and it’s hard for me to choose which one is more important. Every day, I write the list of activities in on a piece of paper and stick it on the mirror, however there are usually/always 2 or 3 activities that missed by are skipped/I don't have time for. I don’t want to be a perfectionist who does all of these things and ignores my me-time, but I think all of the activities are important. My friends have told me that there are activities that must be in a list of priority priorities, but the rest of those them are not, so I must choose the most important thing to do first. Is it common for you to have such a problem?
Thank you for reading, and enjoy your day ^^

Hai Weni, kebetulan aku selalu ingin "make the most of my time" dan belajar tentang efficiency dan time management. Was nice to read your story, very well written and only a few minor mistakes. Keep them coming :)

Hi Seraphina,

It's always alot easier to understand and interpret something than to express it yourself.
I would suggest engaging in the language more somehow, for instance skype calls are great for that. Try to respond in english, and if you don't know the response in English, simply ask.
It's really important, to use new words when you learn them. Even if you just try to put it in a sentence in your head. It's all about making connections :), you'll remember it and be able to use it alot more comfortably if you have already used it in context. Anyway I hope that helped, good luck!

My lil sister and an eyeliner

A couple of days ago, when I passed as I was passing by my lil sister, I realized/noticed that there's something weird on her. I glanced at her and said "did you put on an eyeliner under your eyes??" she answered quickly "uhm, did I?". I replied, "yeah I guess, what's that are those black marks under your eyes?" I added, and then pointed my finger to her eyes. gotcha! and then she just said "maybe.. hihihih" giggling, and then she left me. LOL, kids! XD

Hi Lia, great story :), and nice use of english. Just a few minor corrections to make
Keep up the good work!
