Fresh out of my last test before the exams and I'm feeling good :) Although yesterday wasn't that succesful: I had my big french test that will tell me my level... oh boy, the first part wasn't too bad if you don't include the fact that the supervisor said 15 minutes left when I was only half through the written understanding exercises... whaat already. Obviously I went into turbo mood and rushed the answers from then soooo :D :D until 5 minutes was left and one of the students piped up and said HEY are you sure, because according to the testbook we should have another 15 minutes and guess what she was right :D :D So I had time to go double check my last answers (although I didn't really change any because I was too tired to concentrate properly).
This test was really formal - we had to go in with our letter of invitation and ID, then sit in our allocated seat (mine was closest to the radio - one of my fears was that I can't hear the question because on the internet test exercises the part where it says: "question 6" and the melody is awfully loud and the someone starts talking and you can barely hear it - wtfudge? The sheet infront of me had my name and D.O.B printed on it so all that I was allowed to do was tick the boxes. For me it was like the test you normally see in American movies - just a sheet with columns of ABCD and rows of question numbers and you just tick tick tick boxes :D exciting, I've never done a test like that. Obviously we had the question booklet as well that was previously sealed with a sticker - we had to break it ourselves - proper. Later that sheet will be checked by the computer and you had to tick every single box even if you didn't know the answer because if you leave one box unticked the computer will stop checking it from there and assumes you stopped the test, so you might lose a lot of points.
The second part of the big test was written production (sounds better in french) and that was awful :'( OMG from the first assignment onwards - an invitation to my marriage, oh shit I don't know how to write an invitation properly.... Didn't do the last exercise and the one before that was awful as well... and the one before that - I think I was a bit off-topic :( well I don't expect great results from that :( which is shit because next year I have a French module that requires a 2000 word essay, and if I can't write then.... yay for me -.-
Today I had the phonetics test and considering I've only been to like three classes :D I did quite well, I hope, well the aim is to get more than 10 points - that's a pass and I've gotten my points - all I care about.
On my way back I saw a guy from my translation class and he said he had my homework. Awww yeah I thought I'd never see it again because the last class was cancelled because of the strike. Not too good news though :D as always my french was awful, but good effort he'd written :D omg what on earth am I going to do in the exam when I can't consult any dictionaries :D Fun times, the french-english one wasn't too bad - 15 points, that gives me a little hope that maybe I won't completely fail the exam - the texts to translate will obviously be a bit easier then the ones you get to do at home.
Ooooh btw if I understood correctly the tourism translation teacher asked us (me and the other erasmus) if we want to do french to english translation in the exam. Helll yeaaaaaah because her texts are ridiculous!!!! You read the english version and think who the hell wrote this? But I have a couple of weeks to prepare myself for the 3 exams I'll have at the end of May.
Now party time coz I got peeps coming over!!! yaya :)
Ttyl ;)
Jazzz...
