Chiense midterm

My chinese midterm was a joke. teherw as absolutely no point in me even revising, spent the lesson doing a the test that i didn't do last week cuz of MUN. my test consisted of:
  1. multiple choice questions- took a glance at the papaers being handed back to people sitting around, memorised numerical answers in one glance and quietly copied them on my papaer.
  2. Fill in teh balnks based on the history of certain poets- didn't manage to memorise the names of poets and their lives so i had cheat sheets prepared for such emergencies- yep tehyw ere utilized.
  3. Historical language translation into modern chinese- i just had to laugh, i mean i dont get the modern stuff, and i'm supposed to be able to understand the historical stuff? its like giving a english language beginner a jane austen novel to translate.
  4. Definitions- i don't know the meanings of the phrases, now i'm supposed to define them in chinese?
  5. Writing down the pronounciations of words- yesss, something i can do... pity it was only worth 8 out of 100 marks.
  6. Long essay, more than 150 characters and more than 3 paragraphs- essay?!?!!? okay i write something but lets just hope what i wrote down translates into wat i actually am meaning to say, and not something else horrendously off topic. (kinda helps taht teh girl next to me helped to proof-read it)
but believe it or not, it wasn't as bad as i thought it would be, and i think i passed so yay!
glad that's over.
