Japanese luck.

Sometimes you know what you're doing. Other times you're just fuckin' lucky.

Got my first Japanese test back.

An entire section of the test had me stumped. I hadn't studied them, I didn't think those phrases were going to be on it. So I did process of elimination, got rid of the answer I knew was wrong, and then, man, I was practically throwing darts at the dartboard.

I got all but one of them right.

The last section of the test I also didn't think was going to be on it: I got all of those wrong. Same process.

But that part was only two questions.

Man.

There's a 96% I didn't deserve. Now I'm off to study so I know them for next time.

See, that just proves you know your shit. You have the *feel* of what should be right and wrong, even if you don't know the specifics.

Congratulations! Go you!

this made me laugh. When I entered college, a million and a half years ago, I took a test to find out which level of Spanish I should take. It was an audio test and I couldn't understand anything so I just randomly filled in bubbles on the card and ended up placing out of Spanish completely. I was delighted at the time (I'll take what I can get, usually) but it didn't end up serving me well. My Spanish is still abysmal to my shame. Studying is good. I'm sure you'll be content that you deserve your next high grade.

Naw, you probably just had a good sense of them, even if you didn't study them on purpose. From hearing them in class or whatever.

...was that a 100-point test? They're giving you 100-point tests weekly?

*shakes head*

Man. That sucks. *hugs*

The hundred point tests alternate with the twenty point quizzes. Though last week, because it was only the second week of classes we had both in the same week.

It's brutal.

Next week, I get a (I'm not sure how many point) quiz for Philosophy and a hundred point test for Japanese.

I love tutoring, but I have the most miserable tutoring schedule on top of this. Oi.
