Dictionary...

Dr. Haslina: "Get a copy of this book (Dictionary of Translation Studies) from library, put it under your pillow and study 10 pages every night before you sleep, until final test, you will be able to finish the whole book and get an A."

With a doubtful thought, I started to approach this book. The introduction killed me and I could hardly proceed, 10 pages a day? I doubt. 

However, I am not asked to study Maths or Chemistry, I should feel contented.

Let's move on....

A long dark night with Translation Studies

It has been a while since I last updated my blog. I am trying hard to study all the reference materials that I should read up in this 6 weeks before the school reopen, concerning about my mid-term test, and promise myself must not lag behind. The level of those materials seems far beyond my level, making me pacing extremely slow in order to finish it. I spent the whole afternoon and night reading it, but just manage to went through 10 pages without really understand what the author is trying to convey. Now, I started to worry... Hopefully I am worrying too much... Keep on going Jane!!! First approach is always harder, but things will turn better as I proceed. No matter how hard it is, as long as I willing to study, one day, I deem that I will be able to understand it.
