A Brief Summary - 30/7/20

First of all, I'm sorry this post was published a bit later than usual. I had a good nap though! Secondly, this time with Mr Merdianto...

Job Vacancies

Today, in our usual Thursday English-Core class with Mr Merdianto, we learned about job vacancies, and how to apply to companies with vacancies with a letter and a CV. We mainly talked about what's in a job vacancy letter and a CV, and soon enough we were set with our tasks of finding a job vacancy add with these conditions:
  • Must be in English
  • Experience needed must not exceed 3 years
  • Must be relevant to your actual career choice
Easy enough, I thought. Sure enough, I quickly found myself a government job vacancy in an Arizonian city which was more or less tied to my preferred career path: accounting. That's right, ya boi here be doin them ledgers*. After I forwarded it to Mr Merdianto for his approval, I simply started writing the letter. I'd upload my letter here but...I can't seem to find a way to upload .doc files onto Blogger. Update Aug 1 2020: I can just snip it and upload it as a pic, right?

After writing up the letter, I took a big nap and woke up only to remember that I still had to start work on my CV. Easy, Canva does the trick. In 15 minutes, I was done and dusted and now writing this blog.


That's it. I honestly don't know what else to say. Have a nice day.

*I'm sorry for the cringe

A Brief Summary - 17/7/20

Friday. Perhaps one of my most favourite days because it's nearly the weekend and also the fact that today's lessons are super chill. I only have Maths, English-Extended, Music and Accounting on Fridays - all of which I really find interesting and...lax. As per usual with English with Mr Merdianto, be it Core or Extended, I have to write a brief summary of the lesson and post it to this lovely blog. It's not just me who has to write a blog - all of my classmates both in Core and Extended have to write our own personal blogs. I honestly feel a bit bad for Mr Merdianto as there are at least 80 students in my year group, all with our own individual blogs that he has to read and grade. Thus, this will be a bit short. Mainly to preserve Mr Merdianto's sanity. Although I find it a hobby to write my feelings, typing away, clackity-claking away on my keyboard, I also have to mind my teacher's sanity. I don't need them to go crazy over the amount of work they need to gra

Internal Screams of Giddiness

What's that? A title other than "A Brief Summary"? Today with Mr Merdianto, we had our mock interviews. Well, some of us did. I think I went up first because nearly immediately after we went into our rooms, Mr Merdianto joined mine. *insert internal screaming of unpreparedness* Mr Merdianto said that the interview will be recorded and perhaps uploaded onto YouTube. *insert internal screaming of nervousness and unpreparedness* Right. I tried to stall for time by saying that I wasn't ready but then again, it was just a mock interview. It's not for a real job. I said to myself, "Eh, why not?" and just plunged straight into it. I was horrible. I had to take long pauses, my phone went off (I forgot to set it to silent) and my brother walked in and made me break my focus. As for the questions themselves, well, simple but because I was nervous I was barely able to say anything that would make me look nice in an actual interview. The interview itself lasted for

A Brief Summary - 23/7/20

Back with Mr Merdianto again. Asking and Giving Help again. Class started out on time as per usual, starting out with Mr Merdianto asking why we have to follow the curriculum. I answered with whatever was on my mind, "It's the curriculum, isn't it? It's what the government wants us to do". Looking back, I should've  continued on a rant about how the government is run by absolute nobheads. That aside, we were given an audio from BBC's Learning English about how a woman asks for her colleague to take care of her cat while she is gone to Vietnam. Then, we were split up into partners to have a conversation. I was partnered up with Alya. We had to make an impromptu conversation about whatever Mr Merdianto gave us. Alya and I happened to be given the topic of "comet" with "comet" meaning any extra-terrestrial body (it seemed). We failed. Because of me. I'm sorry, Alya, I truly am. So that means I had to retry with a different partner, and
