D-Day Approaching
The countdown is on: 10 days to SAT, 14 days to TOEFL.
The de javu: felt like I'm going through SPM again. A ride with a nocturnal horse (nightmare!) is the last thing I ever wanted to encounter, but I think there are many more to come.. Particularly after the reasoning test comes SAT subject tests. Am now going through 50 word lists, encompassing almost 3500 words! Accede, acrimonious, addendum, advent, antidiluvian, blatant, brusque, burlesque, cacophonous, condescend, contend, defoliate..... Today I've reached D part already, but I had no confidence I can finish all in 10 days. 10 DAYS! Even if I can, the meanings of the words will definitely be vague in my mind by the time I sit for the test. Wish I had started earlier, or else I won't be convoluted with the meanings of circumscribe, circumspect and circumvent (Ah, now you know the 'wonders' of English!)
The solace: I'm not the sole person in hot soup =P Not that I'm being sarcastic (or sardonic, I think) but what a glee to find that Andrew my friend is in a worse situation. (Hit me with those digits!)With pleasure. His countdown: 4 days to Hatchday, 6 days to TOEFL and 10 days to SAT! (Why a difference in his TOEFL test date with yours?) TOEFL is a bit unique. Only 5-12 people are allowed to take it per day. As the names are in alphabetical order, naturally Adams, Abagnales and Alices come first.
End of line: Am going to Genting this weekend! Together with papa and big bro. Maybe I can get a better ambience to study up there, but most probably I'll just play along =P
