orals are overrr!
my goodness, it's the most nerve-wrecking experience possible!
basically what it is is that you get a poem/passage from Hamlet and you're given 20min to prepare. and then you give a commentary on the poem/passage to your teacher...who basically keeps quiet through it all because it's being recorded on tape. and then at the end she'll ask you questions abt the poem etc. The tape will then be sent off to be graded.

ahhh. when i was waiting for my turn, it totally brought back memories from track nationals...the anxiety, butterflies, repeated self-reassurances, jumping up and down, wondering why on earth i put myself into such things...felt just like it felt when i waited for my event to begin, except without the smell of deep heat and the sweaty fellow competitors all arnd.

-pHEw-
so now it's just spanish orals next friday...but it isnt half as intimidating although i'm probably gonna do real badly anyway because my spoken spanish is not exactly brilliant.

yayyyy. the weekend is here. and there's christian fellowship retreat!
haha...sorry this entry's kinda wonkyy...it's called pressure release. cracks are appearing on the surface of this rock.=)
