Over

Those were the quickest 40 minutes of my life, but all went well. I got there 20 minutes early, and ended up walking in circles going over my notes, even though I knew that anything I read right before won't stick. Same with any kind of exam. Then I went into the preperation room, and the helper held out two envelopes, one with an Arabian Sands passage and the other with a passage from The Tempest.

Left or right... Left or right... Left or right... Left or right... Left... Sure? No. Left or right... Right.

When I opened it up and got The Tempest, I'm not sure if I shouted out in happiness, but I did jump around with a goofy smile, before settling down to prepare.

The oral went well, and somehow I managed to remember all the things I had wanted to talk about. Luckily the passage was from near the end so I could justify bringing in all the earlier events to back up my points.

I don't know the exact score yet, but the teacher was really encouraging about it. When I saw others waiting around, I realised how happy I am sometimes to be at the top of the list because I'm a 'B'.

I am so glad it's over.
