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! 😆

I wish you luck on your exams! I’m sorry you spent the new year and chinese new year alone. 🙁 I’ve been there and done that too. It’s not easy and always depressing, but you’ll get through it, and the older you get the less painful it is. Also, I know that feeling about spending too much money! You’re not alone on that! lol Just got to keep a budget! I hope you enjoy your trip going back to see your family! Also, I like the new layout of your blog!
