Start with the Key!!!

I don't know why, but it's really difficult for me to start writing, writing paper. And, somehow, I feel regret to study here... I think this is not my right place to learn. I am not good at conducting research, and most of the assignments here are to conduct research! But then, I think, no!!! I won't regret the things I decided with some considerations. All happens here are really brandnew things for me. New friends, new lecturers, just like new house with new furniture in it. New experiences that might be I will never have in other places.

At the first time, oh...it's really hard time to finish all assignments. Later on, as the time went by, I could handle it better. But still, I feel that it's very very difficult.

Frankly speaking that I like reading, but reading the stuff I like, not what my lecturers want. I know I have to know the priority, now I am studying, I have to read lots of books relate to my major. I am trying!!! And write, I am trying to write. Actually I like writing, but writing letters, emails and also chat. Not serious things. hehe... I know that I have to change, put the priority in the highest place.

By the way, yesterday I watched a movie, Finding Forrester. I really like it much. It's about writing and how intelligent Jamal is. He is only sixteen and he is black, but he is a good boy, comes from poor family and has no father as he died because of drugs. After his father left, he start writing, writing what he has read. And oneday he met William Forrester, a big writer born in 1930 in Scotland. His writing is really good but only one book he wrote and published. However, after 50 years, his book is still discussed in many schools including Jamal's. So many lessons that can be taken from Jamal's life, about how he live his life with reading and writing, also how he socialize with his environment that mostly have no good education. He uses his hobby, basketball, to be with them. But, still, he needs a father as it has been written in his letter for William Forrester after the competition. It isn't complete, but what has been read by Forrester in the hall is really touching. How deep it is.

Sorry, I can't write in detail, it's too good for me and I can feel it more than I write. Please watch if you have time.
The most important statement from William Forrester for me in this movie is, "You write your first draft with your heart and rewrite with your head. The first key to writing is to write, not to think."

Well, now I am trying to do that, write with heart and then with head. Just write what I know without thinking many things, let my words flow. Then I will think about it and find the reference. Hope it works!
