Sometimes I have loved English so much that I wished myself younger and my days longer so I could learn more. If only! Besides impossible wishes, what is there that holds me back? Sometimes, with free time on my hands I forget, with that being my only excuse. At other times I remember, but lack sufficient inspiration to do the hard work. I have a deep yearning, beyond my other wants, to excel in English. If I make excuses, I will betray myself. I cannot do that. I must be true to myself. There is no alternative, no other course of action, no way out. The only choice for me is to be dilligent, to be studious and to do my utmost. I like Present Perfect "Sometimes I have loved" because you are talking about experiences you have had (the experience of feeling a certain way). Present Perfect is perfect for discussing experiences. "I wish I WERE younger", not "I wish I WAS younger". Many, perhaps even most, people ignore this "subjunctive mood" but don't ignore it yourself. It's not hard, and mastering it will give you enormous expressive power. Even though a majority in the U.S. is not capable of using it correctly, everyone does understand it when they hear it. In the sentences "I wish myself younger" and "I wish my days longer" the adjectives "younger" and "longer" are predicative complements. I prefer "excel in English" because you are thinking of a place. You want your mind to be "in" that place. (Not a real place, of course). "Excel at English" makes perfect sense but, in my opinion, "at" sounds more factual and less emotional than "in".

I love English so much that sometimes I wish I was younger or had more than 24 hours to learn English. Sometimes, I am free but forget to study English and sometimes, I am not really inspired to learn something repeatedly or something too difficult for me. I know, deep inside, I want to be good at English more than any other desire. So, I am determined to be dilligent, studious and hard working no matter what with no excuses.
