Rest of days

Friday 4/25: Honestly I will not do anything on this day.
- Like I said. I didn't nothing. It was a free day!!! =D

Saturday 4/26: I will study the verbs, I've got a book in the library and I'll start doing the exercises.
- I studied some verbs and I promised myself that the next time that I will do an essay I will pay attention in the verbs. Like: it makes and not it 'make'... the population 'is'. 

Sunday 4/27: I will continue study Verbs (SP, PP, SP, reflexive and indefinitve verbs)
- Unsuccessful day. I didn't have time to study these things. I just read the book and did the summary.

Monday 4/28: I will study basic vocabulary (numbers, telling time, dates, synonyms and Antonyms)
I didn't study what I had promise but I studied some "trasitions" because I needed it more. In my new essay you can see that I used new transitions. I was tired of these transitions: "because, however..". So in the last essay I used: "Another fact.. In one hand...in other hand...Lastly.. In the same way...

Tuesday 4/29: I will study Written of Expression (Be and Take, this and that)
I didn't have time to study it. My bad. :(
Failed.

Thursday 4/24:

Expectation
Thursday 4/24: I will study some subjects like grammar preposition and others. And I will go to Writing Center.

Reality
First, I don't know why I said that I will go to the writing center again. I didn't go. I don't need now. And today I don't have time to study English grammar because I need to finish my activity from CS 3 class. 
So... Today I didn't do what I said that would do. 

Wednesday 4/23

I said before:
Wednesday 4/23: I will go to the writing center and I will show for someone my lasts essays and ask for opinions and advices. I already started doing this. But I think I need to be more specific.

Yesterday I went to writing center and showed my second draft from "Is a College Education Necessary?". They gave to me some advices and I fixed my mistakes. As usually was a good experience. 

Progress

My problem with my writing is the grammar. I already promised myself that I would study this but until now I didn’t start. I need to study this because I will do an exam on July and I can’t make stupid mistakes. I will back from my country if I lost in this exam. And if I lost I am sure that  I will wrong in the grammar. I have conscious. So I should start to study as soon as possible.

Reading reflection: "I am so busy..."

How many times did you hear this expression? “I am so buuuuuuuusy”!!!

I think when people reach adulthood they forget to have fun. I heard one time:

“They are teenagers. They have all provision. But they don’t have money.

They are adult. They have money. But they don’t have time.

They are old. They have money. But they don’t have provision”

Gosh!!! This is the biggest truth that I already have heard in my life. Is true when we don’t like someone we give this excuse: I am so busy. But the people really forget to have fun. They always say that I am busy with this, I need to do that, I need to pay this… Maybe I say this because I am young. Or maybe I say this because I see people doing this all the time and honestly it border me. I have an aunt and she says to me: “Luísa, I worked all week and I can’t spend my weekend on home. I need go out. I need to have fun!”. I wanna be like her. She surprises me!!!

But ok. I need to talk about the article. Give my opinion. I just said these things because when I think about “I am busy”, I think about adults. So…

When we don’t like someone and we don’t wanna do something with this person we always say I am busy. Not that we're lying. Ok, we are lying. But we don’t wanna be rude. I think the expression “I am busy” is like a nickname from everyone. We can introduce ourselves like this: “Hi I am Luísa and I am busy. Nice to meet u.”

I agree with this: “…I just thought it was what people said to get away from each other as fast as possible.” And I think that this thing is so ugly. Really. We need to know each other and we need to have friends. We give this excuse even with our friends. We need to show them that we love and care about them. We need be less busy. We need to live! But I am pretty sure that you will be busy in few time. ;)

Easy Come, Easy Go.

I always believed that things come easy in our lives do not remain with us forever. Mainly material things. And this is the reason why I choose this proverb: “easy come, easy go”.

My parents always taught me to conquer my stuff. Be car, house or even a simple outfit. Not that they do not give me things. But when we won our stuff the victory tastes better. At least for me. Usually when things come easy they will also go easy. A good example is when people become famous instantly. In one day the whole world knows her, the other day she already has been forgotten. That is, easy come, easy go.

Of course, this proverb is not exactly true. Some things come easy in life but are lasting. Cases are rare. But there are. I do not like anything that comes easy in my life. I believe in the power of words and I also believe in the consequences of our choices. I prefer to go in the hard way because when I tell my story will be more excited and the satisfaction will be more valuable.

I also think easiest things only bring momentary happiness. And momentary happiness always comes crying/depression later. And this is the biggest reason that I do not like things that come easy. I don’t like momentary happiness. 

Grammar Journal

I cannot see all my mistakes in English grammar as everyone can’t see too. Sometimes I write something in plural and I forget to put the verb in plural too, like “The people is very beautiful” when I supposed to write “The people are very beautiful” and every time I also write “This things is rumors” when I supposed to write “These things are rumors”. This type of mistakes I can’t see. I just know because my teacher (Giovanna) said to me. So now when I will write this words (people, this, these, are, is) I will be more careful.

Other thing that I do all the time is start a sentence with verb mostly “Is”. I need to put a subject before the verb or I should put just the pronoun. I always write “Is very common…” when I supposed to write “It is very common…” I always do the same mistakes and I can’t see them as much as I try. I don’t know why these things happens. Is a silly mistakes. I know. But from now I will try not to make more mistakes.

I learned something about my mistakes made in the past and I always do these here in the blog like starts a sentence with verb or and. Other thing that I do is write as if I had talk because here is a blog and not an essay. But I will in the next blog write like an academic writing.
