I finished my oral exam

| 0 Comments

I finished my oral exam in Mandarin this morning. I think I did alright. I don't think it was perfect, because I got nervous and froze up at one point, but overall, I don't think I did too badly. He recorded it on tape. I didn't expect that. My next exam is next Monday morning, followed by my last one on Tueday morning. Tuesday's will be the more difficult of the two, covering the last four chapters of Mandarin.


Yesterday was a bright and sunny day, with somewhat brisk winds. It reminded me of springtime here. Today, however, is just a dingily gray day, the kind that sucks away the hope of ever seeing the sun again. They say it's going to rain today.
