107. Fire drill & Muet
Friday, February 24, 2012
So basically, there was a firedrill at our mahallah, and I don't know about you guys who've been to boarding schools, but firedrill in the middle of the night? Seriously? At 12 freaking AM? That's pretty absurd.

I mean, some of us have quizzes and tutorials to submit the next day, and although people can argue "What if there was a real fire, would your quiz matter?" I dare say, if there really was a fire, classes would've been cancelled the next day, we might get the week off, and as for the tutorials, they could've been burnt alongside the fire. Since that's not the case, I am really bothered with this unnecessary fire drill, that took 2 hours off our schedule just so we can see a bunch of firemen making a fire a couple of times and putting it out again.

And one thing I want to point out, how is that everybody had the time to change to appropriate attire? I mean, I went down with a jacket and a kain batik, and how is that people were wearing sports attire in which I am confident they don't wear that going to bed. I feel a sense of betrayal o my behalf, out of the whole mahallah, I was the only one wearing a kain batik, and ironically I knew about the firedrill about 20 minutes before it actually happened. =,=

For Muet, I was really nervous, I didn't know what to expect and what were the possible mistakes I could've done, because it has been a long time since I took English as a subject, so I watched a lot of movies that have debates and reasonings. The History Boys, Thank you for smoking, Rocket Science, Submarine, Extremely loud incredibly clear, Community, etc.  But I can hardly say those helped. I mean, it did help with my vocabulary, but I still didn't gain much confidence to stay calm about it.

I asked Akah for some advice, in which she told me to watch All About Eve( a 50's movie starring Bette Davis, which by the way was prettty good), she wasn't answering the question, so I called her the night before, and she gave me a lot of tips and visualizations of what to come, thanks Akah.

And btw, she was studying for a bilogy quiz the next day. "I spent two hours reading about a man's penis!" LOL, I almost forgot how much I missed conversing with her.

Alas, the day came, it said on my slip, my session starts at 7.30AM, I was ready by 7, and turns out, my turn was at 9.40 AM -.- and it didn't go so well, my group was very off topic during the second task. and I couldn't help but to feel down throughout the whole day =,=
