BSL 2 exam.
Well that was fucking atrocious. BLEH
We had to sit too close to the examiner to get into the correct field for camera, which meant they were TOO close. They were also backlit - in hindsight I should have said "you are backlit, I can barely see you" Gah! I'd have wanted to be about half a metre further back to see them properly.
Conversation section was okay, I think I passed that, talked about families, leisure time, Leicester being flat and Sheffield not. Oh and something about Carling being inferior to Stella because Carling has sugar added to it - which makes you fat.
Reception of bullshit story chunks was atrocious. I missed the nephew of the woman named - it was an obv trap and I fell in it probably because of evil role-shi(f)t which I have never understood. I don't see it, so I can't recognise it, or replicate it. I usually ignore it and hope it goes away. I don't see how you can prepare for this bullshit section as it is a memory test, and all the videos stink. Real deaf people do not talk like middle-aged-womanish stories that the CACDP come up with! Grrr. Oh and the examiner who was easier for me to understand was the one asking questions, not spewing the boring story.
My bullshit spew went ok, suspect my story was a bit brief, but was past caring at that point.
Bleh. Not impressed. I don't expect to have passed.
