TOEFL progress test

Today the result of the TOEFL progress test was revealed. And I feel very dissapointed about it. I feel like i don't want to talk about it. but I write it anyway.

Just in case you are not informed, and I'm sure that you are not because I never talk about it in my blog, now I'm taking an intensive course of TOEFL in Languange Center of ITB. This program is funded by Indonesian Endowment Fund of Education (LPDP).

At the beggining we were given a pre-test to measuring our ability in TOEFL and to compare the score with the previous and the next one. I got the very bad score at that time but I didn't really care about it because I thought that it was just the beggining and I have a time to improve it.

One month passed and I've learned almost everything. I got the new knowledge about structure and some tricks for reading and listening. Few days before the progress test, I put more effort to prepare it. I re-read the materials, and learned from my friend from english departement. I'm bad in structure and I tried so hard to understand all of the rules.

On the day of progress test, I sat close to the tape so i can hear the conversation on the listening part clearly. But then when the test started, I could not focus on the listening, I could not answer almost half of the questions. In structure and written expression part, I forgot almost everything I've learned before, and the last section, reading, I waste too much time to find the answer on the passage. The time was up and i had not finished my answer.

And the result was revealed this morning. my score is EXACTLY THE SAME with my score on the pre-test. I don't know what to say.  I just feel dissapointed now, but I'm completely okay.

You know I ever experienced it before. when I was an udergraduate student, there is some courses that I was not good at. I gave my best to learn about that, I even stayed late every night to study. but after the test, the result was not worth it. It was under my expectations.

I think my score is not good because I did too much travelling this month. Well, Bandung is something new for me since it is my very first time to come and stay in Bandung. So I think I have to explore every corner of this city. But now I think have to put more attention on the course and give much more effort to get the high score.

Next month I will have another progress test and I promise myself to post something good about it. I will work hard like a horse!

This post is written in english to improve my writing skill. There are many broken grammar. So I really appreciated your critic and comment for the better next write.

Glimpse of Memorable Memories

I am writing this with Kiss the Rain and Stay in Memory by Yiruma playing in Youtube. It seriously making me baper . I am trying to remember every single thing we've been through together in the past 3 months. But this is not gonna be a long post that show every details. It's just the voice of  my heart (I don't know how to say curahan hati in English). Sorry if there are some things missed. Our story started at 29th of November 2015. In the day before the opening of our course program, we decided to meet in the gate of ITB for looking for a language center building. There were only 8 of us. Some of us maybe already knew each other because we came from the same region. But mostly, that was our first meet. Oh yes, I already met Cintya the beautiful moon accidentally in Juanda airport before. The next day, we finally met each other. All of us. I remember we sat in the front, introduced our name and the place where we came from. I also remember the Jembernese came togethe...

Perempuan, jodoh dan S2.

Kemarin saya dan Mama saya ngobrol santai di meja makan. Tiba-tiba bahasannya menyerempet ke arah jodoh. Sebenarnya saya selalu menghindari topik macam begini dengan keluarga saya. " Kamu kalau udah umur 25 belum nikah, udah susah cari jodoh nanti. S2 lagi" Tante saya juga pernah bilang : "Kamu nggak mau sama si X? Dia S2 juga loh" Wkwk xD Ada yang perlu saya luruskan disini: Saya tidak pernah menganggap kuliah sebagai sarana mencari ijazah lalu pamer gelar dan lantas pilih-pilih teman apalagi jodoh. Allah tidak menilai orang dari ijazah, lantas saya siapa mau pilih suami dari strata pendidikan? Wkwk. Alasan saya melanjutkan studi S2 bukan biar uang panai jadi tinggi macam yang di meme itu xD. Bahkan kalau misalnya saya juga menganggap diri saya sebuah barang yang bisa dilabeli dengan harga, saya juga tidak akan melabeli diri saya dengan harga tinggi. Kenapa? Saya yang tau  diri saya dengan semua kekurangannya. Dari segi akademik saya bukan mahasiswa yan...

Pada Deretan Huruf

Pada deretan huruf, aku tuliskan cerita. Tentang kita yang menyapa pagi, meramu siang, dan menghimpun malam. Kita yang sebelumnya tak saling kenal, dunia kita tak bersentuhan, lingkaran kita tak beririsan, lantas dipertemukan dalam suatu epidode yang mengakrabkan kita dengan cara istimewa. Pada deretan huruf, aku abadikan kisah. Tentang kau dan aku yang beda, yang tak serupa, tapi berjalan beriringan. Setiap kata merapalkan kejujuran, bahwa setiap beda tak mesti bertentang. Hal yang kadang membuat kita berdebat, nyatanya tetap bisa membuat kita tertawa bersama. Pada deretan huruf, aku rekam setiap momen. Tentang kau yang memahamkanku bahwa dunia bukanlah ruang sempit. Ia tak melulu tentang barat dan timur, atau utara dan selatan. Kau pula yang memahamkanku bahwa kita adalah bagian dari milyaran manusia, yang tertakdir bertemu disini. Pada deretan huruf, aku bekukan kenangan. Tentang kita yang selalu berceloteh bahwa hari seperti dilipat, dan harapan agar ia bisa sedikit melambat....
