Wow, I'm feeling so much better today, the sun is out!
I had to take an annoying English test last night after work. It's called TOEIC, and it's the menace of the East. The reading part was of course no problem. The listening part was silly. The CD has these long segments of information to listen to and then three multiple choice questions are asked about the reading. English is my native language, there was nothing that was not understandable or clear in the segments, but it went pretty fast and if my mind wandered a tad, I missed important parts.
So a question after a segment might be, "When was the car released?" and then a series of answers to choose from like, a) 2 months ago, b) 2 weeks ago and so on.
Yeah. I had no idea sometimes.
I'm no dummy, either. So I feel for non-native speakers that are subjected to this.
Writing blogs on my lunch has not ben successful yet, but I figure if I make myself type something here everyday, they *should* get more interesting.
I really do have tons of topics to write about in my notebook, but for lunch I'm checking news and chillin a bit.
But I don't want to break this habit...more later...
