やばい!!

Bloody bloody grammar! I worked so hard in preparation for the test and I still could hardly do it! It's sooo despressing . . plus I think the teacher is crap! We didn't really know what the test was going to be like or involve and I did so much work and yet it still contained the work in such a way that it didn't really test how much work I'd done or how much I could really use it . . just banged together a whole shite-tonne of similar-looking forms with what seemed like the single intent of demoralisation! ARSE! How were we ever supposed to remember the specific definitions and usages of over 70-odd grammar points, many of which are ridiculously similar or form (sometimes you get the same words but meaning entirely different things . . . hmm . . remind anyone of English ?!)
I got lucky in that of the 4 hours study that I did today I happened to do one of the back page exercises which was then reproduced word for word in the exam . . but that's only 14 points of which I am certain . . other than that . . and now I have to move straight on to preparation for Thursday exam for the same teacher . . I know that'll be an arse too . . but in the meantime I have another exam for Linguistics on Wednesday and I absolutely must study for that too - if I don't know a million specialised kanji I'm doomed (It's like trying to remember all of the multitude of combinations of ways of producing phonemes and their technical descriptions by heart, but in another language which is further complicated by the fact that the script involved in studying is in tiny print and you've not a clue of the way to read the word or of what it means . . . Actually, that's not what it's 'like', that's exactly what it darn well is!!!) . . . how shall I cope ?? Oh dear, oh dear . . .

I also should be writing an application, an essay and presentation. Ahhhhhhhhhhhh

Think I'll go have a few drinks or ten and try and sink this into oblivion for the evening . . that's sure to help matters.

AND it's sooo cold again!
Hard to believe that Adelaide is in the midst of a heatwave . . I think you're all making it up!
