im doing a toefl test tomorrow morning. really dont know what to expect. i've never done these tests. toefl/ielts. no clue. dont know how to prepare for it as well. i guess i've always taken english for granted. and i've always thought that english is really my first second language. i hope ill do okay. more than okay, actually. near perfect would be awesome. but let's not get cocky.

whenever i tell family members im doing a toefl test, they always give an implied anticipation that i'd fail or do badly.

exhibit A:
person X: so have u done the toefl test?
me: im doing it this saturday
person X: u know if u fail, u cant re-do the test, like, the next week. u have to wait for 6 months.
me: right......good to know....

meh-

im doing the test cos i wanna apply for this job which my mom kind of hesitates at my applying since she wanna keep me free and easy to travel around with my dad. which i dont really mind. but im growing tired of unemployment. i feel the need to do something.. for myself.

p.s. apparently one of the requirement to apply for the aforementioned job is a toefl score of at least 500. doesnt say if one can be exempted from this if one is a graduate from a university in an english-speaking country.

double meh!
