A letter (1)

Dear Deeva,

It is almost midnight in here when I'm writing this letter. Maybe you already sleeping now, but I can’t. Not because I won’t, but I just can’t. I don’t know exactly why it is. I’ve tried to close my eyes for sometimes, turned off the light, and played some lullaby in my laptop, but nothings worked. No idea about what to do, I decided to write you a letter –again-.

Actually, I’ve forced myself to sleep faster tonite’, because tomorrow I’m gonna have futsal games with my palls. It is in early morning and I can’t wait for that. Further more, I don’t want this ‘sleepless’ affecting my performance badly. You know, I’m always exciting with football, and it will always like that. But since living here, I have to make a peace to some different habits, such as : I can’t do sports as much as I did in Makassar. Hmm, Saturday is the only day when I can feel sweats after sports. It is nothing to compare with my daily exercise in Makassar. I tell you about this, so you will not shock if you see some ‘changes’ in my ‘body looks like’ (particularly surround my hip) when I return home.

Time is running so fast, and I’ve been here for more than 3 months. Half way of my English training has passed by. I don’t know exactly how improved I have after this period, because my marks fluctuated in every training session. Sometime I got good point, but sometimes it fell dramatically. I can’t predict about the real test in upcoming October, but I know that I MUST get at least 6,5 in my IELTS test at that time. I’m expecting for 7 actually, so I can meet the Melbourne University’s requirements. Joining the best University in Australia is something that I can proud about.

Three months ahead will be the climax of my struggle. Not just about to get a high IELTS score, but in adapt and learn about Academic system in Australia. We gotta learn more about Writing Assignment, and Class Presentation. I must submit 2ooo words discussion paper related to my subject by the mid of September. Along with that, I must arrange a class presentation with a partner. Fuiiihh . . . many things to do, but I’m enjoying them. So far, at least . . .

By the way, deeva, I’ve passed successfully my English presentation this morning. Yeaah, we were asked to choose a news article that deserved to appear in front page of a weekly magazine. Everyone must present the news in front of the classmates and convince the other that his/her news is the most important one. Thanks GOD, I can convince them, and my presentation was voted as ‘The Most Convincing’. I think, I’ve made a nice presentation slide which was attracted some them. Hehehehe . . .

In this afternoon, after the class, we –again- had a guest lecture form Melbourne University. However, I didn’t attend it because I picked a friend to the airport. I felt a little bit sorry because I heard that most of my friends hailed the lecturer. They praised him because the discussion was remarkable. The topic was interesting as well as the presentation. Fuiihh . . I think I missed a good lesson.

Hoaaahhmmm . . . Deeva, too bad that I begin to feel sleepy when I begin to enjoying write you this letter. Funny, coz’ now I tried strongly to keep my eyes open. But it just failed. I should get a sleep now. . . . Sorry if you’ve been waiting too long for my words. I intent to send you letter regularly in the next time.

Anyway, you don’t have to worry about my life in here. Everything I need is fulfilled well. I’m surrounded by nice people and supportive environment. In short, all is well . . . . !!!
See your letter, Deeva.
