Hallie (inkyhallie) | 16412 comments So I have my best friends to text and threaten me to not screw up my interview by making completely dangerous statement. How nice!

But H got into uni, so I should probably trust her. That is, if I, in my wildest fantasies, clear the entrance.

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 16412 comments Like Hallie, do not say you're a freaking masochist, and absolutely do not threaten to kill the interviewer.


message 21464: by Hallie (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 16412 comments You know what, I'm going to sabotage my entrance test results tomorrow. Or do so poor in the interview that they won't take me.


message 21465: by Hallie (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 16412 comments Please kill me now. Please kill me now.

Tough Or Easy

I had to go write an exam at one of the unis I applied to, and I honestly did not prepare at all. Mainly because I didn't know what to prepare. Sure I looked through some grammar and other English stuff, but there were no specifics as to what would be asked.

Anyway, I walked in to the entrance an hour early and it was so crowded I couldn't even hear myself think. Dad pointed to the direction where the notice board was which has the seating arrangement. Mine was on the other side of the board and I squeezed myself through a crowd to go to that side only to come face to face with an old friend from my old school. He stared at me and I stared at him, and I held up my hand to awkwardly greet him. He is Welsh, so when my mum saw him, she asked what he was applying for and whether he came all by himself. As soon as I had figured out the room I was supposed to go to, my dad asked if anyone I know was here and I had to point at him even though I had not seen him in two years. But then he disappeared off the face of the earth and I was all by myself.

So the main reason I want to write this is to say how weird the test was. Before I forget, the classroom looks super old and small, so I'm not really a fan of this place. Anyway, half an hour before the test, we were allowed to sit down and a girl came and sat beside me. Then she randomly asked, "Did you prepare?" I was taken aback by her ability to talk, so I stammered to say, "Uh not really." And then there was this awkward silence for a while before she asked, "Can I use my school ID as a photo ID?" To which I nodded. Lastly, she asked about my marks. Awkward silence again because I'm such an introvert who just cannot talk to people. Eventually, she got fed up of me, stood up and went to sit down in front, and began to talk to people there.

So the vacant spot beside me was then filled by another girl who is Welsh. The girl in front of her (diagonal to me) is also Welsh, so they both started conversing and Welsh while I just sat there eavesdropping and pretending I didn't understand a word they were saying. Although both of them studied in Wales and want to come here for uni, and hence their Welsh is so much more better than my not-so-fluent butler Welsh, so I had another reason to not butt in other than the fact that I was too shy to say, "Hi! I'm Hallie. Nice to meet you. My parents are from *insert name of parents' hometown*."

Now comes the weird part - the test. What I was told was that there would be multiple choice questions, but when I looked at the first question, I saw, "If you don't get in here, what are your options?"

Okay.....

Yep. The second question was: "What do you see yourself doing in an hour after classes end?" I wrote that I would be reading. The third was: "What do cartoons do in newspapers? What is the cartoon in this doing?" (*insert cartoon*). The only 'normal' question was rearrange the jumbled passage to make sense and explain the logic behind your rearrangement.

Crap. I wrote crap, and I'm sure they are going to reject me, but I don't really want to go here anyway. It's my parents' first choice, not mine.

Oh, and another normal question was: "Have you tried/learnt to ride a cycle? Describe your experience in about ten sentences." For 10 marks. I um don't know how to ride a bicycle, but I decided to lie and write some rubbish anyway because I can't just leave it blank. It was...... Disappointing.

And clearly I have no general knowledge because I knew like three out of then questions there, and I couldn't identify the countries in a map because the map looked so...... I'm done with it!

After the exam, I spent 20 minutes searching for my parents because both of them weren't there when I came back down, and I didn't have my phone to call them. This is exactly why mobile phones are important in situations like this. My parents tend to act on their own and I get pissed so fast when they decide to come get me at 11:10 when the test gets over at 11 and I finished at 10:45 :/

Anyway, I bet when I check the list today, I'll find "Application number *insert my application number* Hallie Aurora *insert my last name* is rejected and we hope to never see you again. Ever. Please! Don't!"

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 16412 comments There's something on Goodreads that has been bothering me, and I don't know what to do.


message 21469: by Hallie (new)

message 21487: by Hallie (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 16412 comments It won't kill me, I know, even though that's what I intended to do, so if anyone's wondering, it tastes disgusting. Trying to kill myself always tastes disgusting.


message 21488: by Hallie (new)

Hallie (inkyhallie) | 16412 comments I could hang myself, though.
