Guitar and Singing

Music soothes me and helped me express my feelings. I’m not a professional, and I’m not saying I’m really good, but I enjoy playing guitar and singing a few simple songs. After the lesson I’m practising some easy chords and strums. I'm happy when a tune finally works. Singing also gives me more confidence. I am learning how to breathe and keep rhythm properly with the Right. Every now and then I do videos to listen to my evolution. I’m not into perfection. I just try to get a feeling for the music and tell a little story with my voice. Music draws people together too. Whenever friends happen to know one of my songs, we sing and laugh together. Those moments are radiant and true. Bit by bit, music is teaching me patience, practice, and joy.

My Learning Goals at UKM

step by step I want to grow in UKM. Career DevelopmentMy goals are fairly simple: polish my English, get some real business skills, and learn what it takes to be a better teammate and speaker. This is my plan. I will read 1 worthwhile book per month, and take notes. I’m every week doing Excel and basic data know-how and I'm doing it more before our Q1 period is over. Probably I will ask0ne question or contribute 0ne idea in class. I want to join a student club to meet people and learn to work with themAn exchange student said: I will join one student club to meet people etc. But if there is case competition or project, I will go for it, even if I am shaking in my boots. Small actions create big change.Each Sunday I will review my week and repair what I didn’t do well. I know I will make mistakes, but I am just going to keep going! With this plan I am feeling ready and excited for the sem!

Finding My Best Study Spots at UKM

In my first week, I was just walking around the campus looking for good places to study. The main library   quickly became my most visited place. It's bright, it's quiet, and the chairs are comfortable. I enjoy the smell of books and the gentle sound of a turning page. Occasionally I'll work on the tiny table by the window. I feel relaxed and I can concentrate when the sun shines in. For group work I go to a place where we can talk without disturbing the peace. I also carved out a warm, comfortable niche at a café on campus. I make a list of assignments in my notebook, and I go over slides. A cup of tea keeps me awake. Little by little, these places made me feel at home. When I know where to sit and think, it’s easier, and more enjoyable, to learn.

The First Week I Was at UKM

 At the start of the week, there was an opening ceremony.    I was both scared and excited at the same time.    There were people I didn't know, a language I didn't know, and a culture I didn't know.    For a moment, I didn't know what to do. I didn't sleep at all the night before because I was worried I would be late.    After the ceremony, there were a lot of fun games.    I joined a few and got tired and a little dizzy pretty quickly.    A teacher saw me and took me to a quiet room, where they gave me food and water.    I was very grateful because I felt safe and cared for.   I also met a lot of nice people to hang out with.    They smiled at me, talked to me, and even showed me around the school for a little while.    It made me feel better to talk about our first days.    It began to seem like a pleasant, warm place to be on campus. That week was the start of classes. ...
