Italian

I have finally done my Italian speaking exam. I am so slow at getting scared. In my Italian lesson at 11.20 I finally got scared with my oral in 2h40m. I then when going to the library got coerced into going to a talk by Benedict Allen who is an explorer and is recording some documentary (check it out on the BBC in November as I might be in it for 2 seconds). Anyway, so I had 15 minutes to prepare for my oral during which i think I did a pretty decent job. I walk upstairs to the language corridor having awkward smiles with every single language assistant and then sit down with my role plays and luckily they're easy. I've prepared for them and any unknown questions and memorised them and I sit waiting for the inevitable footsteps of Mr Wood. I'm dragged into the classroom and then it seems like the next second I'm leaving and he's telling me to carry on with my life (whatever that means). The important thing is though that i think I did okay and I have got over my first hurdle. All those doing orals next week, especially German, good luck and try and remember to smile at the teacher as otherwise they'll give you odd looks.

(Post-writing thoughts: that was far too long for just saying that my Italian oral went fine)
