highlyeccentric1. Aural test - ugh. I have a stack of podcasts on my MP3 player, and I avoid them, because I hate listening to things I don't understand. Not helpful in listening tests.
2. Reading test - OK. My vocab leans toward literary criticism, not the contents of Figaro, so a bit patchy there.
3. Written test - Grammatically and phraseologically wobbly, but hey, I can bullshit about how to integrate new employees, sure I can!
4. Oral text - scared the examiner.
What. They gave me a prompt about whether or not it's a good idea to have students evaluate their professors. So I subjected the poor woman to ten minutes of MY THOUGHTS ON COURSE EVALUATIONS, FORMAL AND INFORMAL. WITH REFERENCE TO CRITICAL PEDAGOGICAL LITERATURE.
She ran out of things to say to me. Then we talked about Merlin.
Of course, I did make the mistake of calling her 'tu' the whole way through, and I kept misprouncing and re-stating things, and I threw all kinds of inappropriate object pronouns around. But what I lack in grammar I think I may have made up for in sheer terrifyingness.
In other news, the Mitchell Library is pretty.
