1 2 GO!

24Nov11

One to go! Finished German for the year today, the exam was pretty fair I thought. The writing tasks were basically replicas of our previous assignments but the grammar was a bit more difficult. There was one question where I literally lol-ed at myself (yes I’m weird) because the answer was so bleedingly obviously wrong but I couldn’t think of anything else, I wrote down “Schieten” which pretty much reads as “shit”. Oh well.

I always cut it fine for time before exams but today was ridiculously close. My exam started at 1:20, I left the house at just after 1pm and…I RAN and by that I mean I felt like I was doing the 1.6km again. I don’t think I’ve pushed myself that much since City2Surf. Got to uni in 5 mins thankfully but then because I don’t usually go to Macq besides my one room, had no idea where the heck C10A. Ended up at U-Bar?! (uni bar) Panicked a bit and then went back downstairs and followed my gut feeling. Saw a whole lot of asians holding pencil cases so followed them up some stairs and bingo!

The exam room was already full of Asians sitting their Econometrics exam and then there were the 4 of us sitting our “Advanced German II”. I was seat 196. Aside: does any uni besides Macq pre-assign seat numbers?

2 hours later. Pens down, papers collected, examiner booms “you may leave” and everyone gets up and the room is suddenly filled with multilingual babble, well that’s a bit of stretch; it was Mandarin, Cantonese and Korean. Tried speaking a few words to my classmates after the exam but was overwhelmed by surrounding Asianess. Strangest exam experience ever.

Ok brain feels deep fried again. Mmm fried chicken.

Dural road trip tomorrow.
