Your use of ’get used to’ is appropriate and mostly correct, and there are a few other corrections. ’The first problem I faced : I ’m not used to . .’ OR ’The first problem I was faced with : I’m not used to . .’ ’. . I’m afraid of getting lost . .’ ’I’ve not (yet) got used to making new friends ’ ’However* I'm used to balancing study(ing) and my free time’ *If you start a sentence with ’though’ you must add a contingent clause : ’though I’m used to balancing study with my other commitments, I still found it hard to strike the balance after I had moved to the city’. ’. . one unexpected skill I found : I have* got used to . .’ *present perfect because it still applies at the time of writing [given the first sentence ’I’m just getting used to living on my own’ ie. this process is still continuing] This is a very useful expression in English, and you have demonstrated a good understanding of how it is used.
