My current issues.

بسم الله الرحمان الرحيم

Currently I’m in the mid of semester 1 session 2016/2017 IIUM, and am struggling to finish my assignments and presentations that dues are just around the corner. Not to mention I have to prepare for incoming midterms this week.

I have a lot to say. Let’s try to sort it one by one.

Firstly, I am SO BAD at time management. This is not new. I knew this since I was 12 years old, while remembering how my sister would finish exercise books bought by my mom, I would struggle on finishing a topic. Could be I’m just an easily distracted person, or I’m just lacking self-trained sessions to be focus on a task.

This semester I aimed to get 4 flat. So I’m gonna try my best, get rid of my bad habits (movies, dramas, kpop and blabla), be active, and most importantly stop procrastinating. And I learnt my lesson from last semester’s final exam, I’m determined on making notes for every subjects before study week come. To make it short, every time I made my study session, be it a 30 minutes or 60 minutes session, I could only write notes for a page. A PAGE! THAT IS SO FRUSTRATING O’ ALLAH!!!!

Then I have a halaqah session every Tuesday that I actually promised to come to the leader, there this one where we discussed on how the ulama’ before managed to finish Quran, 4 TIMES A DAY! That is.. Beyond my capability! Beyond everyone’s capability! So after discussing for a time, we accepted that maybe Allah has given them the chance to do so, has given them the barakah, the blessing they got in their time. –AND THAT'S WHAT GOT ME!

I haven’t really thought on why I never get enough time to finish my work, to complete at least 2 tasks in one time. What I thought was: oh maybe the world are really going to be over, the time is getting short and 24 hrs are probably 12 hrs. HAH! Funny me. So I told myself to ask from Allah to give my sufficient time, to bless me and the time given, and to ease my works incoming. Ameen.

Second, actually I was just taking a break from doing my assignment; a report on my Introduction to Fiqh class, which is in arabic. And for those who doesn’t know me, arabic is my supreme weakness.

If anything is stopping me from being more and more diligent and a straight A’s student, its the arabic subjects. Why I say so? Because all my arabic subjects in foundation I got Bs. The rest I successfully got As. Back to my assignment, so as I was doing this assignment (I thought its going to be easy.. Like, who else got this kind of assignment from generous lecturers???), THIS IS SO FREAKING HARD! Almost all, I repeat ALL arab vocabs are gone from my thick-skull head. I had to search/ google for every words translation, then structure and restructure my sentence, getting confused over my grammar and my sentences are, I swear it’s the most confusing sentences ever. So, I just had to stop. (I only did a paragraph and 2 lines btw).

There are no other reasons why this is happening; me, lacking reading, writing, and talking in arabic. In other word, I just lack practise.

Options I have to improve: 

1) Keep on reading (and open dictionary! *my bad habit is read, and assume the meaning of difficult words because I’m just too lazy to open another thick book)

2) Search for arabic news, articles and such. Like al-Jazeera. And read. And dictionary.

3) Look for arabic songs, I did this once, but me being me, I still like english and kpop songs better. (REALLY?!)

4) Practise on writing. Ok I think this one will be my choice. I’m just gonna have to find a topic, a very simple topic and write about it. And to prove so, maybe I should post my articles/writings in my blog? (at least I can practise typing in arabic letters, because I don’t put stickers like everyone else).

Ok. It is decided. I’ll push myself to write in arabic, post it on this blog, at least twice a week!. YEAY! ?? *for those who know me in IIUM and read this, please ask and question me about my articles so I won’t avoid this and procrastinate.

There. 2 issues of my current student life. I still have lots more, but this is already too long. I’m afraid you guys’d be super bored reading my miserable life. Ha.Ha.

When I get the time, I’ll write more. Hope I’ll be more productive, as productive as ever!

Buhbye, may Allah bless you guys!
