Wedding Exam Day!

Well, today was officially the first day I had my exam. It was actually my Chinese final! That's okay, this morning I woke up at 7:30am for no apparent reason but I guess it's a good habit. I did nothing but study.

Anyways, I left the house at 9:30am since I got a ride from my mom. I arrived to campus by 10:00am and just sat down on a bench to study before the exam. The exam was scheduled at 11:00am. I was waiting by the gym while reviewing some of the words with a classmate. We get to go in ten minutes before the exam.

The exam consisted of 5 parts. 1) Write characters according to the pinyin. 2) Write pinyin according to the characters. 3) Pinyin dictation. 4) Correct sentence mistakes. 5) Translate from English to Chinese. I was able to get 93% of the exam done in the first hour. Though I had to double check the answers again and actually had to correct some. The hardest part was the pinyin dictation, because I couldn't hear the teacher properly, despite her repeating the stuff from six directions. It was out of 70 in total. Prediction: 60/70. Only because I don't trust myself.

After the exam, I went home, to prepare for my History 1115 exam. I showered at 4:30pm since we'll be attending a wedding. I wore a blazer and a suit and pants as we got dressed. We then left the house at 6:00pm. The ceremony didn't start until 7:00pm. It was my mom's friend's son that's getting married. We first spend around 45 minutes listening to the story on how the two couples got together along with a few words from both side's parents. After that, we had dinner. The food came one plate at a time. I started having a stomach ache in the middle of it. Which sucks! Anyways, I felt better later on.

Dinner continued to be served while they played some sort of game. In which first, was answering questions. The questions seem easy but it's very difficult. After that, we continued eating and people started leaving. We then left at 10:15pm and got home by 10:40pm. Time to study for the History 1115 exam!!

Recognition: Thank You my good buddy Allen for updating me and giving me depressing hockey pool results :D And Alvin, hope everything was okay when you picked up your cheque today.
