Japanese oral went horribly. Everyone who was coming out of the room said they did horrible, although I don't know if that's actually true. The professors certainly made it intimidating enough. All of the desks were back against the wall, so it was pretty much a huge room with a table and chair in the front, the female professor on the side watching and the male professor sitting at the table giving the exam. I felt so prepared beforehand, or at least I didn't think I would stumble as much as I did. But how I did stumble. When I got in there and sat down I lost all my confidence, and my mind went almost completely blank. The professor didn't ask many questions, I was required to keep the conversation going for the most part, but after the basic introduction I kind of lost everything. I couldn't even remember how to ask what time they were going home, or what time they went to class. There was so much silence going on, and a couple questions that he did ask I completely guessed on the answers. He asked something about sleeping, but I'm not completely sure what, just understood nemasuka. The test ran longer than it was supposed to as well. Each person was supposed to take five minutes, it ended being around ten, I think I might have actually gone a bit over. How I do hate oral exams. Understanding stuff written down and answering it isn't normally a problem, but speaking it and having a conversation is difficult for me. If I didn't speak English my entire life I'd probably stumble a crapload when I tried to speak it (which sometimes I do because I get nervous speaking.)
But on a good note, I only have one class tomorrow, and it's my late start day.
