Exams

So I said I'd keep you updated and then I didn't? Well, I've been busy.

I have three exams next week. Written and oral Chinese on Wednesday and reading comprehension on Thursday. I have about 1000 new words that I need to know by then. 200 for written Chinese, 200 for oral Chinese and 600(!) for reading comprehension. Lucky me. As I'm writing this I'm kind of realizing that I'll never manage to learn a thousand new words in three days. You wonder if I weren't supposed to have learned those thousand new words in the four weeks I've already been studying? Well, we all know that's not how it works.

One of the things I've learned since I moved here is that reading in 36C is really quite difficult. Fore one, studying is kind of boring in the first place, and the fact that I'm sweating like a pig and generally feeling uncomfortable doesn't make it any better. The result of this is of course that not only don't we get our studying done, we also spends a fortune on our air condition. Also we suspect that those of our classmates who actually get their studying done are really aliens from outer space.

Anyways, I have to go and pretend I'm studying now. I'll write more after Thursday. Have a nice back to school week (my last week of school before my two weeks vocation, muahahaha).
