IM REALLY EXHAUSTED...
i just had my nihongo final exams... it must be the hardest test i took in my life... uhuhuhu... well, perhaps not including the comprehensive exams in grade 7... no... this was much harder. even though i prepared for it like hell (i've been studying since last week - especially last night and this morning), it was sooooo hard. i just to give you an idea what a nihongo test is like, it's composed of 4 parts namely writing, listening, reading, and grammar... the writing test is mainly about kanji... to give a brief background of the japanese language, it has three alphabets - katakana, hiragana, and kanji... hiragana and katakana is similar to our ABCs... they can be memorized in a day or so... hiragana is used in japanese native words, and katakana is used in japanese words borrowed from other languages mainly english... you'll be surprised at how many english words there are in japanese... like boorupen (ballpen), konpyutaa (computer), eribeeta (elevator)... haha.. words in katakana are my favorite... they are soo funny... but kanji is a different story... they're these very complicated figures you see in restaurants... a kanji is like a symbol for a word... imagine the word "sun"... in our language, it's written in letters right? but in japanese, the word sun can also be written in hiragana or katakana (the letters), but it has a kanji meaning a kanji stands for a word... so if we had kanjis, sun could be represented by a symbol æ or something. since there are thousands of words, there are thousands of kanjis... and they're freaking hard to memorize... wow, so much for brief... haha... anyway, moving on, the reading part is just as hard... they give you a story to read and you need to answer questions about the story... the listening part is the hardest... there are these tapes that says a bunch of statements in a very fast, non-comprehendable manner... and you need to answer questions about those statements as well... since my ears are not used to japanese, i find this test the hardest. and last is the grammar part, which is fairly easy but in today's test, it was the most difficult... what makes the whole freaking thing more difficult is that i've only attended 3 out of 8 classes in the second term of the course which is basically where the finals is based from because of soo many stuff to do on saturdays. so i had to study on my own... and because of all the crap from school, i just have no time to study so much... the most pressuring part is, 10000 pesos worth of tuition is at stake... if i flunk this test, i need to repeat the whole course... (i'm in elementary 2 now)... and there are only 2 tests for every course, the midterms and the finals... ugh, no chance to make bawi at all... im praying i passed at least... studying another language is definitely not a pickle... imagine studying english from scratch... that's why i'm not considering spanish as an elective in 4th year... but then again, being quadlingual (if there's such a word) is pretty cool... plus, they look good on resumes when applying for a job. but my main reason for studying japanese is because of heritage... period. haha... it might be useful someday though... japanese call centers pay thrice of what english call centers pay you... maybe i'll become a doctor in a japanese clinic. i hear they get higher pay than ordinary doctors... or maybe a japanese sensei (teacher)... my teacher is freaking rich... i hear he gets a lot of pesoses per hour $$$$. hmm...
sorry for boring you... haha, i just had to pour out my exhaustion and stress... instead of spending time with 2B yesterday and today which are the only 2 rest days of the week, i had to study and take a super hard exam after a week of studying... just imagine studying after studying... BLEH.... at least it's all done now... assuming i pass, i won't attempt to take japanese when there are classes... it's just impossible... ill just continue next summer, like what i did this year's summer. AND THANK GOD, I'M PROBABLY STAYING HOME NEXT SATURDAY AFTER 5 MONTHS OF BEING OUT OF THE HOUSE EVERY SATURDAY... YAHOO!!! NOW I CAN FINALLY CALL SATURDAY A WEEKEND AND NOT AN EXTENSION OF THE WEEKDAY!!! well, anyway let me tell you what happened yesterday...
well actually the stress started Thursday night because of this freaking math project... we have to submit the draft of our "website" project... it's like the most senseless project ever... everyone has better things to do aside from reading a math tutor website made by high school sophomores.... hello? we tried appealing for a powerpoint presentation instead so SHE can show it to her future students... BUT NO... it has to be a website.. so i started a rant about math in my stat messages in my YM... haha... it became too long that i decided to just put in my blog when i write again... so i started months ago with math and research must die... now i have plans of writing a book entitled how to murder math for dummies. that is when i figure out how. on second thought, it might be a good research problem : the efficiency and feasiblity of murdering math. on third thought (haha), why not just murder research as well. before scientists try to discover how to clone or how to do stem cell research (yes, san ko napulot yun? - haha), they should discover how to murder math and research first to alleviate the sufferings and stress of students like me. and so if there is less stress and suffering, there will be less sucide cases, less obese children (stress is fattening), less students who fail because of these subjects, thus creating productive students, and in the end a better world... haha..... this was how my idea about hate of math and research (the first idea being math and research must die) evolved... what a creative mind i have... muhahaha... so much for my loathing for math and research...
so friday came... we had this homework in english about proverbs... and this was where the fun started. by recess, we were panicking because some of us didn't have any yet... so instead of being productive, we made the whole thing a joke... we created philospophical (pilosopo) proverbs. they made me laugh... A LOT... muhaha... one of the pilosopo proverbs we came up with is my title... it was the funniest... haha... it came from the original "life is a ticking clock, it doesn't stop unless it runs our of batteries." "What use is grass then the horse is dead?" became a dying man needs a doctor... haha... sorry, it sounds corny right now but it was funny then... then there's "a writing hand needs a speaking mind" which became a writing hand needs a ballpen... haha... anyway.... it continued until PE time... but i really had time doing the proverbs... i came across one which i like "better stay quiet and be thought of as a fool than talk and remove all doubt"... haha, in short, don't talk when you have nothing to say... haha, may pinapatamaan ba? secret :D.. after that, we had english which was very fun... i like listening to other parents' love stories... my parents' love story is funny... haha... basta. ayun lang, i wasn't able to go to JR's house and eat because i had to study... sayang, haha... gutom pa naman ako kahapon... yun lang... haha... i almost forgot my ..birthday is on tuesday na! wohoo... i don't know what to do yet... my bday is the same as Pat... haha... 2 years ago, we celebrated it in EK... but i haven't consulted her yet. last year, we were supposed to go to the mall bu the rain stopped us and it never pushed through... haha... hmm... i'm considering a party at my house on friday since wlang pasok... but... haha, last time i had a party at my house was my grad party in grade 7... grabe, so many people from my class came... it was such a havoc. my mom almost killed me. hmmm... what to do? maybe not a party, just a nice dinner or something... guys, if my mom allows me, punta kayo ah!!! inuman tayo!!! joke!... time to rest... and watch GA!!! rest at last! ^_^
