when itms freezes you to death



haiz...had another long day which ended fantastically with everyone's favorite cr...found myself staring blankly at the screen after finishing 1 section...doing 3 sections of cr non-stop can be disillusioning...best of all, the itms lab that we used was like a freezer...i was shivering most of the time that i couldn't concentrate on the passage...as if that wasn't bad enough, some people just couldn't stop talking...it became quite noisy and yu jin tried his best to control the class...huhu...

my body was aching so badly as i just realized that itms has terrible chairs...most of them look fine, but once you sit, you realize that the back of the chair doesn't really support your back! it just falls behind, finally resting on your friend's table, while your whole back aches like crazy...i wonder where they found such great chairs...coz i had fun doing 2 hours of cr while sitting on a backless chair! bravo uniten...

after doing 2 sessions, my eyes were blurry, my mind flew somewhere else...so i clicked my life-saver, the button break....after massaging my own back and stretching up a bit, i decided to go to facebook for a while...managed to update my status on how i was suffering in the freezer doing endless cr...checked some notifications, and even got comments from fellow friends who were taking break themselves...lol!


after a few minutes of facebook( a great way to release stress you know, even the body aches were gone afterwards...hehe...), i resumed my test...finally, i managed to finish all 3 sections...my result was not so impressive...but it was slightly, mind you, only slightly better than my real result during the 1st attempt...i saw improvement in myself...although i am still stuck when it comes to vocab, i did better in passage reading...fewer mistakes than before, more understanding i would say...glad to know that passages are not really that scary...gotta improve on vocabs i guess...

so that was pretty much about our session today...i do wish that mr.yu jin will stop asking us questions and talking to us when we are in the middle of the test...seriously, lost my focus a couple of times coz of that...hehe, no offence sir...just hoping that all those questions can wait till we finish our tests...

~saw improvement, although small~

LOL...dear..totally and irrevocably agree with u with the freezer lab. kinda really test our physical and mental abilities while we are finishing the tests.

nway, glad to know of d improvement. can't say i didn't, bcoz i actually find the passages decipherable nowadays. just read it with a relaxed heart (which is hard in a damn cold class) but still, if we concentrate to understand, we will understand.

it's a mttaer of self-willingness.

so, my fellow buddies out there who despise CR soo much, try alleviate it. seriously. u hate the text, the text will hit u back with unintelligible questions.

yeah...
i realized that reading the passages with a positive mindset helps in understanding them...
it's a matter of perception...

yeah, its true that the passages aren't s scary if v actually put some effort to understand wat it is...
