Hey, it's December!

So, I had my Portuguese Exam today. I only knew of it last week. I meant to study for it, but of course, things just happen and I never got to study any of it.

I think I did OK. Though I've got a sneaking suspicion that in that school, those teachers don't mean to teach at all. They teach you something, then the listening comprehension part is not only of a totally different matter, but the questions are all tricky. I'd understand you using that to test kids whose mother tongue is Portuguese, but I really doubt they should use that for learners.

The teacher was so disorganized that when I asked for extra paper to write my blasted bullshitful of a composition, she said she didn't have. So I had to open my notebook and tear off a page for that. Who leaves 0.5cm line spacing for a handwritten composition space? Oh yeah she does.

aside from that, nothing much exciting is happening. Dad will go to the hospital tomorrow and fingers crossed, hopefully the doctor won't keep him. I'm already slightly put out that we are skipping our yearly Christmas Cookies production. We used to have so much fun back then, with our dog Peppie.

Here's a couple photos of Peppie doing the all important work of quality checking:

I also have a video but I'm not sure if the Flickr video sharing is as easy as youtube...

My dear Peppie (bless him) is not with us anymore, so the cooking experience is a little different, but yeah, it kind of is a yearly thing between me and my Dad...

Too bad about those teachers. I hope you did well on the test!

My mom's convinced I'm just wasting money in that course... but when it's a language institute direct from Portugal... I don't think I can go any more official than this one... why must the teacher suck?
