Final Language Exam

I had my final language exam on Friday!  And guess who did an amazingly super wonderful genius job....yep, yours truly!!  At least I think I did great.  I was able to answer every question with minimal stumbling and I was even able to put together a few questions to ask my tester in Kinyarwanda!

As I was taking the test, I couldn't help but to think about how the students at UA must have felt when I would sit in on their language interviews.  Those students were a nervous reck and I am definitely now able to relate.  When your whole destiny depends on your language score (at least that's what it feels like), the testing room becomes a dungeon of life and death.  Either you will conquer and be able to stay and serve in the PC, or you will fail terribly and be sent back home to the US.  (And they don't say that to scare us, the latter really does happen).

At any rate, I'm pretty sure I am at the required language level (if not past it) and I thank God that I am a quick learner.  While almost everyone else was stressed and on study overload, I was taking naps and reading books to save me from this thing called boredom.  It could be because I kind of knew what the testers were looking for since I have helped to proctor a language exam before, or maybe not...Whatever it is, I rocked, and I have my previous supervisors to thank for that!  Thanks guys!!
