Racing with time

I wish this year could be over soon. Life’s seriously tiring in every aspect. Lol.

I’ve started my IELTS course (even though I told my mom I didn’t need it) since this Monday. I think it was just a waste of time. The teacher doesn’t seem to help much since he only hold his textbook during class and read every single thing written there. I could’ve done that too with the same book, duh.

I have less spare time now due to the enrichment class held every freaking Saturday. Teachers are progressing with the lessons with real crazy speed I can’t even keep up. It’s like I’m told to skim through the whole textbook and get ready for a new text coming in one week.

Our end tests are probably going to be held on the very end of November, seeing as we still have three more weeks full of test schedule this month. And I have to admit it’s pretty hard to succeed in your studies unless you work hard on it. Nevertheless, I’ve passed all of my tests with half-assed determination. Yay.

The letter of notification about getting accepted to the university has arrived yesterday. I got 90% scholarship for the entrance fee so I only have to pay around 3 million (that’s around $220) for it. I still have to pay for each of the semester though. But that scholarship really saved my parents a lot of money! Although the amount won’t matter much if you’re going to study abroad, I think it’s still a great deal. Mom said that I should just take the double degree program and spend a year in Australia later on. But I’m still hoping to get accepted in Ritsumeikan …

Anyways, mom bought herself a mocha cake for her birthday yesterday. She didn’t bake for herself this year because she’s too tired (and lazy) to do so. We haven’t celebrated her birthday yet because dad went to another city for his work. I hope he gets back soon.

It has also started raining here several days ago. It was the first rain after going 9 months ago. It hasn’t rained again since then, though. I hope it will rain again soon.
