Jap 'O' Level Oral.

08 October 2008 @ 05:29 pm

I don’t believe I’ve felt so screwed up before.

It was terrible! Terrible! There were at least 5 kanji I couldn’t read, and because I didn’t have enough time to finish reading the passage at least once through in preparation, I stumbled through the second half of the passage during the examination itself. They said I’d get 3 minutes, but it sure as hell didn’t feel like 3 minutes. I only remember staring at the paper in shock, staring at the millions of unreadable kanji and thinking, “Sensei said the ‘O’ Level would be easier than the Prelims!”

I didn’t really prepare for this examination, I have to admit. Maybe even got a little laid-back. After all, if the ‘O’ Levels really are easier than the Prelims, and based on the fact that I managed to scrap an A2 for Prelims, I should be able to get an A2 for the ‘O’ Levels, yes?

DAMN IT.

All right, maybe I should have taken things a little more seriously. But the fact remains that… IT’S OVER. There’s nothing I can do about it now. No use crying over spilt milk, they say, and I don’t even feel like crying. Just feeling a little disgusted with myself. Oh well. I should study for the written papers next week.
This day had gone quite well initially. The Chinese paper wasn’t a real killer, and the Lit paper was more manageable than I’d originally thought. Perhaps there is a chance of me getting an A2 after all! :D

But this just ruined it. Thank goodness it only takes up 10% of the entire Jap paper.
