As much as I was feeling very excited about school, I was beginning to feel discouraged as well.
For the longest time ever, Friday was the only time I felt so helpless. My English Module lecturer gave us 2 practice papers, 10 questions each, one testing us on "Active/ Passive sentences" and the other, "Direct/ Indirect speech".
Basically, what needs to be done, is that I need to change the active sentences to passive, and direct speech to indirect. For the first, I only got 5 correct, and the latter, 4... I made a lot of careless mistakes like, "Newcomers is being...". Sigh..
So I told myself, I would get up early and proceed to the school's library, and go to Popular to get assessment books. Well, I must have been so tired that I slept till 1 in the afternoon. I went to the Jurong Regional Library and did my research there, before heading down to Popular to get my grammer books.
After visiting my friend at her grandma's wake, I went back to the library to do more research. Seriously, I never would have expected myself to spend twenty dollars on photocopying in a single day. Anyway, when the library closed at 9, I went to church to read up what I found.
After reading some, I gave up and started trying the assessment books I bought. There was one I bought, similar to the practise papers that my lecturer gave, but this time, the focus was on "which" and "that". Guess what? I only got 5, out of 10, correct. I felt really discouraged this time round. That set of assessment papers are for upper Primary, need I say more?
Somehow, I begun feeling more intimidated by the language, each time I spoke, I seemed to be making more mistakes. At the same time, I felt my dyslexia acting up.
Friends had been telling me not to stress myself. Honestly, I will try, but it will take some time..
Sis Charissa reminded me God is the God of all languages, He will know what is best for me, and I know He is also bigger than any problems I will encounter..
