My name is Jefferson.I am 16 years old,and i am a student at a school in Jakarta.I have a lot of friends at this school.On May 20 2020,I am planing to move to Australia and study at a big university there.There I can study about biology and the human body so i can be a doctor and a surgeon later in the future.On April 9 2020, my parents begin to move to Sydney,Australia to work.Me and my brother will move later on.At the beginning of may me and my friends make a party before my departure, so as my brother as he did it with his friends.
At the date of my departure to Australia,me and friends said a final goodbye before leaving.At the airplane I felt a little bit of homesick. My mom promised me that i can come here every 6 months.It took us over 7 hours to reach Sydney,Australia.Me and my brother are so tired because of the journey.When I landed we go to the airport terminal and waited for my parents to pick us up.A few minutes after we reached the terminal,I saw my mom and me and my brother directly went there.
After we met our mom,we went to a restaurant near our apartment.I ate a lot because I only ate a little on the airplane.After we eat,we directly go to our apartment and unpacked my things.after I unpacked my things,I took a nap for 3 hours.At 5 pm i woke up,and my mom asked me to go to a mall nearby.I get ready and followed my mom to get there.When we got there my mom asked me to go buy some books for school,but school doesn't start until 2 weeks.When we got home I took a bath and directly go to sleep.
1 week later,I go to another mall to buy some books.Then I met one of my friends from Jakarta and he said he was on vacation and he bought some souvenirs from Jakarta.It is a piece of rice cake and a doll.I said thanks and said good bye.2 hours later,I bought my things and eat lunch at the food court.when I'm on my way home I found a poster that says go to the Sydney Opera House.So I thought to go there tomorrow After I saw that poster I directly went straight home and go to bed.
The next day, another old friend from Jakarta said that he wants to meet me and said that he is currently at Sydney.So i get ready and go to a Cafe where i was suppose to meet him.We then chat for a few hours until it is noon.He invited me to go shopping at a nearby mall and then invited me to go to the Sydney Opera House.So i go back to my house and get ready.At 3 pm we met at the mall.We spent about 3 hours shopping and eating.We probably spend like 100 dollars in total in shopping,eating,and drinking.After that we went to the opera house and my friend bought me tickets and duration of the opera and the show is about 1 hour.1 hour later,after the opera,we ate some steak with my friend at a restaurant.We chat about how amazing the show was.After we ate,i said good bye and I directly went home and went to sleep.
It is 3 days before school starts and I am very excited.My new friend named Isaac asked me if wants to wander around the university before we entered school.When we got there the building is huge,I am very surprised that the building is very unique and big.Inside the design is like a shopping mall,a lot of shops like coffee shops,book stores,phone stores,and other facilities.I learn that floors 1 and 2 are for shops and floors 3,4,5,6 are for living spaces for students,floor 7,8,9 are for studying rooms for students.Floor 3 connects to a bridge that links to another building for classrooms for students.When we go to the 4th floor for a visit i saw a swimming pool and a gym.When we get to the other building to see the classrooms,we saw a huge science lab with engineering and programming.When I got home i decided that at school I want to learn about engineering and programming.Tomorrow I registered to the engineering program at school.
2 days later,First day of school,today me and my friend need to go to school for getting my new books and introduce ourselves to our class.Luckily me and Isaac got into the same class.So at least I got a friend to accompany me at the first day of school.So at 7.00 am we reached school and we go to our classroom at the third floor.Our class as 20 students and a teacher,our teacher is a physics teacher.So after we introduce ourselves we had a tour with our teacher around the university.I learned that our university's main goal is to put humans on another planet such as Mars.Me and Isaac found it very interesting and signed up for the space program.
3 months later,so me and Isaac met this student and his name is Steven.He is very interested in space and science just like us.Every Saturday and Friday we would have study groups to do homework and school work.We are 3 months away from our final test and all of us needs to study hard and of us have different material to study.Me and Isaac need to study about astrophysics and Steven needs to study about rocket engineering.So Steven needs a partner to study with,so we introduced this guy name James and he is also study about rocket engineering.So we both study our materials and sometimes we will meet and study the same material in the second semester.
3 months later,after a long and hard time of studying we are prepared for the final test.The test will take 2 hours.2 hours later,after we finished we leave the building and hangout together in a cafe.After an hour of chatting,we went to a mall to hangout we bought a lot of things and food.We are all nervous of our final test results and we need to wait 2 weeks for our results.2 weeks later,we saw the score list I ranked fifth place in my class and Isaac ranked eighth place.Steven ranked fourth place in his class and James ranked tenth place in his class.Some of us aren't lucky and don't pass to the second semester.The night that we got our scores,my friend Vincent throw a party in his house for who passed the exam in our school.That night we had a lot of fun.But next semester we are going to study something much harder.
