The Japanese test from hell.

[icarus]

Oh my god, that was rough.

She tested us on stuff that was not in the books, punishing those of us who missed days where she presented material orally.

I was one of those people. Shit, shit, shit, I was sick that day (re: I was up all night studying for my Philosophy test and crashed).

I got three of the extra credit questions right, I believe, so that's three points. But the vocabulary I didn't know cost me, I think about six points at least. Add that to my usual three points of mindless/stupid mistakes (I didn't have time to doublecheck since I was scrambling to figure out from context what the unfamiliar vocabulary meant), of 100, the best I can expect is 90-93, and it potentially could go as low as 85.

Ouch. I needed a good score on this test.

Good news though. I got that Philosophy test back: 49/50.

Now I have to do is read then write two pages on Aristotle, read then write a couple pages on that Hindu scholar, read and write a paragraph each on Singer and whatshisname, legibly write out the definitions of fifteen pages of legal terms, and memorize a speech in Japanese.

The legal terms are due Tuesday, (I may have to do a make up test for Law as well).

The killer Philosophy test is on Wednesday.

The Japanese speech that has to be memorized this week (repeat, repeat, repeat) and presented orally on Thursday at 8am.

Oh. And I have to work both Monday and Tuesday.

*runs screaming into the street*

Then I have to study for a math test.

Congrats on your philosophy score and good luck with your other tests. :)

Oh, my dear, I sympathize muchly--in the same boat. My last final is even the same day as your speech.

We shall conquer! Or perhaps just cross our fingers and hope for the best...

Best of luck, though it seems like you're doing fine :)

Congratulations on the good Phil grade; and if you scored over 90 on the Japanese test, be proud: it's a tough language.

But re your work load for the next few days . . . well, I hate to sound heartless. But it's only a warm-up for grad school, you know.

where you almost bumped into me, where I was trying to get run over by a car.

If needed, feel free to bug me about math, as always. I've got finals, but I'm a good test-taker; the only think I need to worry about is electricity and magnetism. So this is like holiday-week for me. :)

I'm sure you'll have done ok on that Japanese. Well done for that philo test, that's great!
