 "Reflect on your learning in this course. What are the most important things you have learned? How has your English improved? What do you still need to work on? What are your English learning goals for next semester?"

So, I suppose the most important thing I have learned it's not English skills or structure of writing it is an importance of tome management. This lesson gave me English class, I was always putting aside for a while starting doing homework. It's really awful, I do really hope that I will get rid of this habit, because it really disturbs  me.

one of the most important  skills gained during this course -- is a structure of the essay. It is the most essential part that after a half of semester I had understood. And that's more, this structure is extremely useful not in English, but in any writing. 

I suppose that now I am better in  writing, which has never been one of my strong sides. But, unfortunately, I feel that I am in lack of speaking and my vocabulary will soon start to become poorer. Nevertheless, as the aim of the course was writing I really feel the improvement. I suppose I still need to work on logic of my writings.

Now I am hesitating to choose English as a extra course or not, because there will other compulsory courses, which will be very hard, but my self-esteem says that I have to choose English. If i do it, my goals will be to  practise writing and vocabulary as much as possible. 

14. Free choice. New Year is coming soon

I am writing this blog while going back home, but what is not typical for me is doing in advance, about a week before deadline. I suppose it is wise because in a week I will have much more work than ever in this semester, so as now I have  a half of an hour and I decided to write a blog instead of reading The collapse of Empire by Y.Gaidar. 

So, I decided to dedicate this blog to coming New Year. Yet I. haven't had a felling of coming celebration. It is a bit sad, but actually I have no time to spend it thinking about New Year, just because of the top of agenda is the ending of the semester and enormous amount of homework. It's actually the first time I am thinking about coming holiday. The most funny thing that after ending the semester in December, 27 approximately I will rush to do shopping having no idea of what to give as a present. I always have so difficulties with choosing a present and now I expect to have even more than just difficulties as i have a couple of days to find and buy all presents

And what I really want to do is to go skating with my friends. I expect that just after doing such winter activity I will feel the coming of New Year and it' s a kind of New Year mood, which everybody has experienced but can't explain what it is. Also I think that in some days there comes a time to color NewYear tree. Every year my family plans to buy a live one, but every time we color own artificial one. Actually never mind which the New Year tree you have, because I think any of it brings you a feeling  of coming celebration and long holidays.

Now when I remembered than I did it in advance, I really have a feeling of  slight relief, so i really advice everybody who is reading this blog now to try  to do everything in advance.

13. Argumentative essay

Critique on essay 

 Looking back to all my previous works I can say that each paper is not as good it can be almost due to lack of self checking and lack of time spent on  this or that piece. So, every time there is an assignment on next day,I starts doing it after midnight and the only aim for that moment is to finish as soon as possible and fall asleep. I actually understand that it isn't appropriate strategy to do your homework and try to prepare assignments in advance. But to be honest, every time my plans to start doing in advance become ruined.

As for previous assignment, I find it one of the most interesting one for the whole course. Also I really like the fact that we could choose theme from 3 and could use your own. But here are only senseless details. Taking into account all my essay, it's first draft, I can say that I expect I managed to do -- is to follow structure and make ideas quite full and appropriate. But it has a lots of weaknesses which are to be improved. I am not quite sure that I really managed to explain everything I wanted in a explicit way. Also I am pretty sure that there occur some grammar errors, which I didn't noticed at night, so actually, it's briefly everything about my essay organisation

No doubt, it should be improved but I see the only opportunity to do it in dedicating more time than it's usually dedicated. 

This piece is the most different with all previous essays, just because it's much more serious and I can say it demands more work n it than others. 

I bet that is everything how can I analyze my work.

12. December stress. Free choice

This is the first time when I clearly understand what I am going to write about in this free topic blog. Thinking about other themes of previous blogs demanded sometimes even an one of thinking over, but today i will write about present feeling of constant stress
At 2a.m. today I have realized that I am fed up with studying and feel constant stress, it doesn't for sure mean that I decided to give it up, but I can't  calm down at least. Every time when I get down to my homework I become angry, but not with people who made it up, with myself. The main reason of it is time management. To be precise, total absence of time management. A year ago I got used working and doing a homework at night. I know that it's not as effective as working in the evening, but after getting home I can't make myself start doing something. That story was continuing for all these three studying months and still continue. But what actually arose such feelings is an enormous amount of homework at this week and, as it was promised, till the end of December.

Unfortunately, I don't know how to overcome this stress, it surely need to be gone through , and after i suppose everything will be no doubt  ok. I consider myself as an optimist, but now there is a black stripe with studying which disturbs me and prevents me from enjoying life.

I know tht this post is dull and boring to read, but it was necessary for me to write it as an another  opportunity to complain 

Still in this situation I will answer that I don't regret about choice of university if you ask me.
