ah, holidays!

[hello_siri]

today i had my first oral exam since secondary school, 7,5 years ago. it was my only exam this semester as i dropped a written one i should've had on monday because i felt i didn't have the time to read for two. especially since the written one was in a subject i hardly understand and i really wanted to be prepared for the oral one. but in the end

Yay, holidays, enjoy! Management of freshwater fish is a funny subject to have an exam about :) I had only once an oral exam during my studies, and I was very nervous in the beginning as well, and then my professor who's a bit crazy had forgotten my exam and asked what I was doing, when I arrived o_o I'll have now still 2 written and 3 oral exams as my final exams and the only thing I'm looking forward to about them is getting rid of them, of course. :)

most my language exams were oral at uni and all exams in my exchange year in rome.. i almost died of nervousness, but i managed them all :o)

In language tests we usually had an oral and a written part and I always did better in the written part... while during my exchange year in Finland all exams were written ones.
I think, that having had so many oral exams in Italy and passing them all must have given you a lot of "Selbstbewusstsein" (selfconsciousness?), at least I heard that from others who studied in Italy for some time, and you can be very proud of yourself :)

i don't know if i got more confident with the orals i passed in italy. certainly it was good for practising my italian that way, but what really made me more confident are situations in my job now :)
when i have to manage things alone, discuss topics with people, tell decisions (that are not mine) but need to find reasons for them etc.

it's all that counts: you passed!!!

[hello_siri]

yeah, after all it is:D but oh my, do i dream of getting better grades from now on!

Jeg er misunnelig på ferien din! :( Jeg har fire prøver igjen før ferien... 8) ingen eksamener da, eksamen er überskummelt, selv om mitt møte med muntlig i fjor, år, sist skoleår i hvert fall, var ganske koselig i grunn. Men, gratulerer med overstått eksamen... er sikkert kos å ikke ha slikt hengende over seg.

[hello_siri]

ajaj, nå har du fått ferie også! er det ikke fin?:) slapp unna muntlig på videregående jeg, tror vi var de siste som kunne det. og det var jeg jo glad for, men det er klart det hadde vært greit med litt trening før den jeg hadde nå...

what a strange subject for an exam! that's not even close to anything you're studying or is it? yay for passing it anyways, that's the most important thing afterall! :)

[hello_siri]

hehe, yeah, this is exactly what i study! my plan was to write my thesis about freshwater fish but now i'm not sure since i got a pretty bad grade:( i passed tho', but i do kinda want to do it again to get a better grade...

[fairytale_80]

[hello_siri]
