My study plans for this week

Monday- already at college at the moment. My afternoon is free so I'm going to study Spanish at home.
Tuesday- studying at college again and then will try to do some studying at work at the evening
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday- same as Tuesday.
Weekend-I'll be free most of the time,so I'll concentrate on Spanish again,as I can practise it at home with my Spanish flatmates.
But if the weather is nice I may not spend much time at home.

"There must be a better song to sing"

"There must be a better song to sing" is a quotation from the movie Educating Rita. And this is the way she expressed her motivation to change her life, and study.
The film is about a young girl who works as a hairdresser, whose life was more or less predicted until she decided to study and make general changes in her life. We could see in the movie all the problems, ups and downs she had to go through, to reach her aim. But despite there were moments when it was so hard she did not give up and succeed.
In the beginning no-one believed in her, no-one took her seriously. Even the teacher thought she was hopeless and it is not possible to educate her, but she was very insistent, so to her teacher it all started as a joke.
She was very strict with herself, and although she did not have enough time to study and all her friends and family were against her studies, that didn't put her off. With time passing she became more and more self-confident, which is a very important step to success.
At the end she managed not only to change her life, but also those of many people around her, and she became a totally new person.
In my opinion the film was good, because in some points it is similar to my personal situation. And it made me realise that no matter how hard it is sometimes, we should never give up reaching our dreams.
