Nothing’s impossible
–Depeche Mode “Nothing’s Impossible”
It turned out that I passed the first round of the graduate school entrace exam. I was exhiliarated when I found out about the news. My modesty wanted to keep the news hidden, while my vanity propelled me to spread the news to everyone. I told several people about it, and many others just saw it on the Internet.
People have given me all kinds of congratulations. Some of them are sweet, and some of them are a little… to put it mildly, out of place. It was not that I wanted attention so that I decided to graduate ahead and get myself accepted to graduate school early, but I was pushed by parental expectations and life’s cruel hands. Anyway, it was a good news, after all.
There’s still an interview to go. Perhaps Professor Katchen would be the interviewer. It would be nice to see her and talk to her again. Oh, and I must study the text book Teaching by Principles to prevent the embarrassment of not knowing the terms for English Instruction.
I was not sure about my performance on the other entrace exam I took for interpretation in NTNU. I managed to finish the test just in time and translation has hardly been an arduous task to me, but students taking the exam must excel in it as well. Who knows? Perhaps I will have the luck once more.
