a 'NO'

December 31^th 2012 11:00 p.m

A lonely girl sat with the flat expression as the same as flat screen which she was facing on. Her mind was not there, she was thinking about her journey along this year. Remembering all the things she did, everything she got, and everything she just dreamed.

She saw herself clearly as a spoiled girl who almost every week hang out with her friends. A girl who is actually a rube girl, but affected by her best friend who is a townsfolk and addicted by freedom.

She saw those two girls got back to their dorm bringing some bag full of new things which is usually doesn’t need. That rube girl had became a townfolk-ish now, and used to spent money for the unnecessary stuffs.

She thought harder about the thing that caused her became that ‘wild’. But then she remembered that she just felt disappointed by her report result this semester. She just arrived on the third rank in her class which is not the superior class. It showed how small her effort she put on her future was.

Then she just realized that she couldn’t blame her best friend who always invites her on that hang out time. It was actually her fault, couldn’t ever reject it. She was wondering why it was really hard to say ‘NO’. May be she was too afraid that she would left behind if she didn’t join.

But now she is going to 16^th means that she have to care about her score, because it will affecting her future. The only thing she can do is repair her own principle. She doesn’t need to always hang out every weekend, or even buy some unnecessary stuffs to avoid that ‘rube girl’ nickname stamped on her front head.

Saved her weekend to stay at dorm, read some materials for the next meeting, and complete her tasks might be the best way to fly onto the 1^st rank. The thing she want the most is, be brave to say ‘NO’ softly when she really unable to accompany her friend. Perhaps it will be harder than she thought, but it will be more beautiful if she doesn’t have any uncompleted tasks on Sunday night. Truly, sometimes say a ‘NO’ is not always hurt, as long as we can use it correctly, there will be no law that prohibit us to do.

Errors Identification for 2013

A month ago, exactly on 21st December, at the early morning a beautiful girl called Niken awaken by the sound of water tap near her room. It was 5 a.m when she took a shower and prepared for going to school. As she is a dormitory student, she has to complete her duty first before go. After she did the duty, tidy up her bed, and had a breakfast she leaved her room at 06.30 a.m with a happily and cheerful face. She really loves that day because it was the last day on her 3rd semester and of course will be the beginning of her holiday.

Along the way to her campus, as usual she said ‘hello’ to her friends with her cutest smile. When she arrived at her school yard, she directly go to her class where her other friend were waiting for their advisor. Took a seat on the front line, full of enthusiasm she was listening to her advisor advice to always be a humble hearten person. Sometimes later the advisor distributed the report to each student, Niken either. She immediately opened it, and then read her score, but her sight was stopped at the English score which is written 80 for the theory and 78 for the practice. She couldn’t hide her disappointment seeing her score that was not passed the standard. Meanwhile sometimes ago her English teacher announced that she got the highest score on role play which taken as speaking score. She didn’t care with her theory score because she is not really good in reading. She used to be humble towards her score but not for English moreover if it is speaking and practical score. As she good enough in English especially speaking, she will very disappointed when her score is not as good as what she have expected. Niken was too shy to talk about her score with her friends. When some of them ask her, she just stayed in silence and gave her sweet smile so that their friends noticed something wrong with her score.

Still mourning her score, out of the blue the bell rang means it was time to go home. Niken got back to her room immediately, ignored people who asked about her report. As her parents were going to pick her up one hour later, she started the packing. Even, when her parents arrived and ask how her report was, she just mentioned the 5 highest score, rejected to show the report to them, and fortunately her parents didn’t suspicious with it. As usual, at home she kept her report in her cupboard so that nobody will open it. But trouble came when her mom put the ironed clothes, she was curious with her daughter’s report. She opened it page by page, then caught by written score ‘78’ and when she looked onto the lesson it was English practice. Of course it was unbelievable for her, as her daughter often joint speech and storytelling competition at the Junior High School. When her mom approached and ask about that score, Niken tried to explain it well. She told her mom that there’s not only speaking for the practical, blog project and her activeness in the class. But her mom argued it, Niken may not hang out along the holiday as the punishment. Niken couldn’t refuse that because it was absolutely her fault.

  She tried hard to enjoy that boring holiday. Opened her blog, did browsing, etc. Out of the blue she realized something when she opened her friend’s blog, it was quiet better than hers, the simple but clear articles, and also the background. ‘May be this is why my practical score was bad’ she said. Then she started to modify her blog, changed the background, put some pictures, and another widgets.

On the first day of 4th semester, as usual the one who need the report revision submit their report onto the advisor’s room. At the first break time, Niken walk to her advisor’s room cheerfully, and then put her report calmly, wishing her English teacher will kindly open her blog then increase her score, as she had repair and modify it. Work harder, do everythings seriously and always holding on her passion.
