So far, So good

Two weeks have passed since I came to Leicester. I've settled in there and had busy days so far.

I joined study skills course until Friday. It was very intensive and hard for me! I had to write 1500-words academic essay within a week.

The essay topic was depends on our department. My essay topic was 'multiculturalism' because my major is sociology. Though I retain a special interest in multicultural society, discussing about it was sooooo tough😱😱 I didn't  believe that I was able to finish writing my essay at first.

I read many books, chapter and articles and spent a lot of time on writing my paper. Sometimes, I was frustrated with my lack of knowledge and academic words. 

My classmates were so smart and educated. This also made me nervous.

But they were very friendly and cheerful so I could get along with them and enjoyed every classes!! 

I finally was able to finish and submit my essay before the deadline but I was not satisfied with it. 'I am freed from my essay!!', I felt at the time😂

My tutor checked and corrected my paper. And I collect it the next day. 

Surprisinglly, I got good grade😳 I had 9 Good and just 1 Average. Well done, Saku😂

But I also found my weak points. The most important thing is to do 'reflection'. I'll have to make action plan for my future essay.

If I were asked whether study skills was worth joining, I would answer 'Definitely!!'. 

I really really want to recommend that future exchange students take this course😊

2週間のスタディスキルズも終わって少し落ち着いてきました！と思ったら10月からは本格的に授業が始まる！！

もっともっとしんどいことが待ってるだろうけど、そのぶん楽しいこともあると信じているので、１つ１つコツコツとこなしていきたいです😊
