3 down, 3 more to go...

久しぶり！！元気？It's quite some time I haven't been writing in here... well, I was really panicking about my exams!! XDD

Last Tuesday I had the English written text... next week I have the oral exam and I don't know YET if I've passed the written one... I mean, I'm pretty sure I did well (at least well enough to pass ^^) but I'd like to be sure, or this week I'll be studing for nothing!! (we have the rule that, for the language exam, if you don't pass the written part, you're not allowed to sit the oral one...)

The exam was pretty easy: one translation Italian-English, one English-Italian and then report writing... only, the organistation in my uni truly SUCKS!!! They gave us 3 hours to do the exam, but theyleft the report writing for last!!!

I mean, wouldn't it be better if the teacher read the text and then gave us one hour to do the report, and only THEN the 2 translations, so everybody had the same time for the report, and if someone finishes before the translation is free to go!!??

But no, first they made us do the translations... we were allowed to use the monolingual dictionary, and I've seen people taking 2 full freaking hours to do probably the simpliest translations I've ever seen!!! >___< Not to brag or anything, but I didn't have a dictionary, and I did both translations in 1 hour... then I was forced to wait for another hour for everybody else to finish.... only, time is never so fixed, so we should have started the report at 16.40, instead we started at 17!!!!! >________< Mukatsuku!!!! I had to leave at 17.30 to catch the train, otherwise I'd have spent the night at Central Station with the homeless ^^, because it was the last train I could catch (if I missed that one I didn't have the second train to go home..), so I was forced to write my report in 20 minutes......

That's why I'm hoping I've passed the exam.... ç____ç

Wednesday was Japanese's turn: written exam!! Kanjis, sentence translation, grammar and sakubun... we sat the exam together with the first years, it was funny because they were looking at us with something akin to adoration.... ^____^

Everyone in 3rd year was hoping the theme of the sakubun was 推薦状 (the letter of recommendation) - sensei said the themes would be the same as the ones we did during lessons for practice - cause we thought "it's the only one where they can ask us keigo.. and no one would be stupid enough to make us to a sakubun on Valentine's.. it' May!!"

..... OF COURSE this year there was the one about Valentine's Day!!! >_________________< the other choice was about "生活の便利なもの"... I could've done both cause during the year I've written all the sakubuns, but I chose Valentine's cause it was the one I remembered better...XDDD

Sensei told us he'd send the results by e-mail probably by Friday night... only we didn't got anything!!! On Sunday, as we all were starting to losing hope of knowing the results, the mail came: 27!!!!!! ^______________^ I guess all the drama watching paid well!!!

Yesterday morning we sat the oral part.. sensei had already given us the sheet with the questions, so I was fairly relaxed.. until 10 minutes before the exam!!! XDD But everything went well, I didn't have any problems and she gave me 30!!!! Final mark: 29!!!! やった！！！！The only thing she said: "you have good comprehension, and it's good for understanding and speaking in working situation, just be careful of the context because you tend to use the plain form too much..." ^^""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

I guess I'm watching TOO much jdramas..... XDD When I looked at the written text I was surprised: I knew I got some particles wrong, and I know I have horrible graphy, so the kanjis were the right ones, just not well enough written.... But I was surprised with the transaltions: not even a single mistake!!! The 5 sentences together were worth 15 points and I got 15+!!! YATTA!!! ^__^

Now, this Friday I have Japanese Culture.... I have to watch 2 movies (old and boring... -___-) and "read this material so you can make you own opinion whether existed or not"

....... nani sore???? I guess I'll tell her some things and praying she doesn't take away my well-deserved 30 in Japanese Economy....

Other things.... last Tuesday (as I sat the English exam) Dad had the surgery on his right shoulder, to fix the tendons... Everything went perfectly right ^^, and he's already home being noisy and constantly asking favours "Giulia do this, Giulia do that, Giulia bring me his..."

むかつく！！！！！！And to think that he'll be home for 3 months!!! ç______________________ç

Well, now I'm off studing again.....

Ja ne!!
