t.o.e.f.l

the.overly.exhausting.frustrating.language. EXAM

this morning, as enthusiastic and nervous as i was, i opened the website which i had registered for toefl last friday. as i clicked on the test 1, nothing appeared... as i kept on clicking and noticing nothing was loading i thought "yeay" i don't have to do it, i can just tell my instructors there was an error before i could even do the test. haha, yeah wishful thinking. then i realized, i had to enable the pop-up block. dang! i had no choice but to do it...

honestly, this test took forever. however due to the fact that we live in the 21st century everything is made simple. the new format is iBT - the internet base test. the first section was "reading" - ergh, i had to read 3 long and not so interesting passage to answer bout 39 questions. first passage was regarding the common dell' art, then it was regarding candles, lastly it was about the human brains. my-oh-my, it was mind numbing!

next it was the listening, ergh... seriously they had topics from anthropology, sociology, meteorology, and i can't even seem to remember the last few.

well, the thing was draggy and all... but at least i've tried the test. just need to practice more i guess.

also need to start working on my "internship report" which is due on the 4th of May. i've been procrastinating that one. dang, i sure hope i can work better when i'm pressed for time.
