Wrap-up: January ’17

It’s the first time I …

• Spent my New Year and Chinese New Year alone
• Spent so much on skin care products
• Spent so much on Amazon
• Used the word spent too much
• Regret doing all the things listed above

One of my biggest challenges was …

• Being able to keep my expenses low
• Keeping my grades up for my management class
• Being a little bit more outgoing

My little achievements

• Getting a perfect score for my Japanese class presentation on Highways
• Scoring constant A+ for my Japanese quizzes and essays
• Got my management lecture essay score increased from 4 to 4.5 out of 5
• I learned a bit of Korean!
• Not giving into temptation and purchasing more winter clothes (lol)
• Distancing myself from online-gaming

I was happy for

• My new big brown rug (it’s so fluffy)
• Receiving a Totoro keychain as a souvenir from my Japanese friend (my very first souvenir here!)

I was quite upset because

• My new white Puma sneakers was too big for me 🙁
• I lost the Totoro keychain at one point because the rope snapped
• My favorite sweater’s got a hole on it …

But, it’s okay!

• I am currently attempting to return the shoes to the manufacturer
• My lovely friend magically found the Totoro on the street!
• Mom will fix it for me once I get back (and I’ve purchased a very cheap and good sweater in exchange)

My plans for February

• Return to Indonesia to spend some time with my family
• Purchase something as a souvenir for them
• Study more Japanese in advance
• And maybe some Korean
• Plan a new schedule for the next semester

After this I’m going to …

Study for my final exams! It will end this Friday, so wish me luck! 😆
