This morning, I had a Spanish test that was half written and half oral. I wasn't looking forward to taking it since I suck at languages, but I wasn't entirely worried, since I studied hard the previous nights, and was used to the test format from previous ones. I just forget things easily sometimes, especially when it comes to speaking languages. Don't believe me, you can ask my mom.
To make a long story short, I took the test and did better than I expected. The written part stumped me a little since I mixed some things up, but I think I did alright. The surprising thing was that I did really good at the oral portion. Now, there's no way for me to verify for sure since break is about to start, but I felt pretty good handing in my test. Something I couldn't have said after the first one.
I still have one more test and final that will be the same format as these previous tests (barring any major changes). Despite knowing what they'll possibly be like, I know that when the time comes, I'll be nervous for it like I always am. Why am I saying this then? I guess to prove a point not to be nervous for things like this because sometimes you can surprise yourself. Whenever I take tests, usually I lower my expectations so that I'll feel better if I do better than expected. Now that this experience has happened though, maybe it's time to raise my expectations because I always expect high expectations from myself, no matter what the language is.
