After the Test

    Well, the midterm is finally over for this week. Even though I merely took two exams, it was a blast since the difficulty of the exams were not that easy at all. Indeed, it was sort of all arduous to study for. One subject was one of my majors, and I had to memorize approximately seven full chapters of "Applied Linguistics". It seemed to be comprehensible at first when the definition of Krashen's Comprehensible Input emerged in the book. As time passed by, I started to realize that comprehensible input was not comprehensive when it was attended to with all the other theories. In other words, I was petrified with all the difficult terms that I had to put into my head. I looked up apparently and virtually every single terminology that I was not acquainted with. And yet still, I could not get every terminology. With those vocabulary that I could not possibly have access to, I just memorized them for the mid-term. There was no choice since I had to take the test with all the other contestants ready to "launch their space shuttles up to the moon"(They were all ready to take the test). 
      So, for this week, a bunch of rote-learning compared to the usual logical and reasonable English studying that I normally do. One thing I could think of in my head right now? Thank god, it is over...
