I'd better calm down.........

Hi guys! How are you doing after our presentations? Studying hard before final writing exam?
I think it was a really good experience for us before going to the University. As Murray said it is very difficult to make your brian and our mouth work together at the same time. The worst is when you stuck and do not know what next to say. In this case you are standing like an idiot and cannot think about anything at all. It happened to me and I was lucky that I had my notes. Ha-ha! :) Anyways we need to be able to present our ideas even if we are shy and even though English is not our native language.
What else I want to say is that I am a little bit nervous about tomorrow's writing final. I know we have written a lot of different essays and assignments on various topics. Moreover, it's not the first that we are having a test, yey? We had EAP2 and half of EAP3 so we may concider ourselves a kind of experienced people. BUT... The pressure of time is very hard to handle. I'm thinking about the topics trying to guess what our dear teachers created for us. Anyways, I'd better calm down................
Wish you good luck tomorrow! We are smart, guys! We'll do it! I'm 100% sure!

Large Double-Double 1 Soft 2 Hard


What is the easiest way for you to remember things? What are special moments associated with in your mind?

I was thinking about this today... And finally I decided that for me it's music or I can say sound in general. I remember very clearly the way my Mom sang me a song and I remember her voice. I would never forget those sounds. They are immortalized in my heart :). Another melody that I remember from my childhood is my brother's song about me. He used to sing it almost every day, so it is in my mind forever. My father always whistle a particular melody when he is angry or irritated with something or even a bit nervous. So if I hear those sounds I can easily understand that he is not ok :(.

A lot of the best moments in my life are assosiated with a particular song. I'm sure it happens to everybody as well. Very often when I hear a song or a melody, I can fly to another place in my mind in the past. Finding myself in a place where important events happened, I start to live over those moments again while the music is playing. Ye, music is a kind of long term memory for me, the strongest and the most sensitive one. By the way, I mixed up the words sensitive and sensible recently. Anyway, in this case I intended to use sensitive....Now I know what they means. It's better late than never, yey?

The last idea that comes out of my mind is that I am very tired of working in Tim Horton's and Taco Time today. I worked 2 hours in THorton's where the line up is always. Then I moved to TacoTime. The line there was even more crazy. So... I like customers and I have to smile to them no matter what's going on in my mind. Anyways, large double-double and one soft two hard is my today's sound assciations. Ha-ha! Anyways, the fact is that women's ears are too sensitive. That's why they fall in love through their ears. Ooops! I have to stop writing now. I'm getting too far ............
