My Great Future Plans


Actually, I have some dreams in my life, but I’d like to tell you two of my dreams. First, I would like to be a great English teacher or lecturer and the second I would like to be a great wife and mother.
Being a great English teacher, I will study hard to graduate from Sanata Dharma University. I won’t waste my time; I also have to study hard to achieve my first dream. However, it will become very difficult for me because there will be many temptations to achieve my dream, such as when my friend invite me to hang out, when I am very lazy to study, when I don’t want to do my assignment, etc. There are so many temptations for me. However, I want to try my best to do them all.

My second great dream is being a great wife and a great mother. It is also very hard for me. I have to achieve my first dream first, before I achieve my second great dream. However, being a great wife and a great mother are very difficult. I have to have a capability to manage my time. So, I will practice it from now, so that it can help me in the future. I will start practicing with how to manage my time to study, to do assignments, to hang out with my friends, etc. Even, it is difficult; I have to try it to help me being a great wife for my husband and a great mother for my children.

By doing this, I believe I can make my dreams coming true.

Past Narrative

Shocking Days

This story is one of my shocking stories. It happened some months earlier. The story began when my friends and I had got an assignment from our lecturer to make a presentation. In Counseling and Guidance Course, the students had been divided into some group ad each group got a theme.

Actually, we had much time to make the presentation, but we didn’t use the time effectively. My friends and I made it a day before the presentation. We thought that the time was enough to make them all, but we were wrong. The time was not enough and we weren’t able to finish the assignment. We had just realized that we hadn’t had more sources and we only had had a handout. It was not enough. However, we tried to relax because one of my friends had said, “I have just remembered that only some presenters who will present their presentation at random.”

The deadline of our presentation came. We were very nervous because we didn’t have any preparation for our presentation. The class began at 9.00 A.M, and we entered the class. We were able to control the situation for a while before our lecturer called one of member of each group to take a number to be the presenters that day. One of my friends came in front and took one. He got a blank paper; it meant that we were not one of the presenters that day. We were very happy, but the lecturer said, “We have to repeat once more, because there are some students are dishonest.” We were disappointed. We thought that we weren’t able to be lucky anymore. However, we couldn’t do anything to refuse it. My friend came in front once more and took one. “Oh my God…we get a blank paper again”, said one of my friends. We were so happy, but some seconds later the lecturer said us to repeat again. We were very desperate; my friend who took the number was also more desperate. Finally, we were not lucky anymore. We became the last presenter that day.

We were panicky, because we didn’t have the power point and the report. We had to take them in. Finally, we were making it while the others were presenting their presentations. When we wanted to start making it, the laptop was low battery. It made us more panicky. We charged it and started to make it. We made it in a hurry; we didn’t care about the content. We also didn’t care about the presenters who presented their presentation. After finishing, we printed them out without permission from the lecturer. While the lecturer was paying attention with the presenters, we were opening the door and printing them out at SAC (Self-Access Center).

When one of my friends and I printed them out, suddenly my friend sent a message. He said that “We must present our presentation now!” My friend and I were very panicky. We run into the class and brought the prints. After we arrived in the class; the lecturer came in front and said “The time is up, so the next presenter will present their presentation next week.” Then I said “Oh my God…what happen today?”
The news made us happy but also disappointed, because we had finished the report and the power point, although the result was not maximal, but we had to present our presentation next week. However, It didn’t matter for us, because the important thing is, we promise to ourselves that we won’t repeat it again; we will do any assignment long day before the deadline.

Habitual Narrative

Habitual Activity in Monday


Every day in Monday is the laziest day, because I have to start my study after weekend. In every weekend, I usually wake up at 9 A.M, and then I loaf in my bedroom in my boarding house. However, in Monday I have to wake up earlier than before, I also have to start my study and given many assignment from my lecturers. It is very hard for me. That’s why it is the laziest day for me.

However, I can’t do anything; I must get up at 7.45 A.M to start my first day. After getting up, I usually tidy my bedroom up, like fold my blanket, sweep the floor and open the window. After finishing them, I prepare myself to go to the campus. Firstly, I take a bath, and then dry my body up with a towel. After that, I put my clothes on and give some make-up on my face. I put a pair of shoes on and go to campus, but I don’t forget to bring my bag.

I have two courses in Monday; they are Intensive Reading 2 and Structure 2. Class of Intensive Reading 2 begins at 9 A.M, and the lecturer is Ms. Pat. Sometimes, some of the students are sleepy, but Ms. Pat is very kind so it doesn’t matter for us, but we have to pay attention in the course. After I finish with my first course, I take a rest for a while because we still have a few minutes left for the next course. Structure 2 begins at 11 A.M, and the lecturer is Ms. Frida. It is harder than the first course because it will be held in about two hours and a half. In the middle of the course, sometimes my stomach is rumbling because I haven’t got my breakfast. The class is over at 1.30 P.M, and after that I usually have lunch with my friends.

I usually arrive at my boarding house at 3.30 P.M. I take off my shoes and take my bag on the table. And then also take off my clothes and change them with other clothes. After that, I usually turn on my television, watch it for a while then take a nap. Before taking a nap, I usually wash my hands and also my feet.

I usually get up at 5.30 P.M, then I tidy my bedroom again and after that I take a bath. The next activity is refreshing me. I usually refresh myself with doing some simple activities like watching television, sharing with my friends or calling my mother, my father, my sisters or my boyfriends (sometimes). If there are a lot of assignments, I will do them. At about 8.00 P.M, I usually have my dinner with my friends. Sometimes, after having my dinner, I will continue doing my assignments but I usually gather with my friends and share whatever we want to share. And finally, I go to bed at 10 P.M.
It is my habitual activity in Monday. What about you? Would you share with me?
