Elpis


This day is our (me and coning)scheduled written examination in Eroom Language Center. I sent message to coning that we will meet in the same place, which was in Libertad. At 11.27 a.m in my sun cellular mobile number, coning called and she told me that we will meet in Sanders (resto). I was about to asked her if who was the other person, but i said bye. When 12.10 noon arrived, i left our house and headed to Sanders. What was the funniest thing that happened to me was that, i forgot where Sanders was, i knew it was near the hospital where i worked or render service shall i say, but i really forgot where exactly, so i keep on walking and walking until i saw this Sanders name. When i entered the place, i saw coning and aying, sitting oppositely in the corner table.

Coning told me that she almost forgot that we will be having a written exam in Eroom, anyway we hopped in the cab and then i think we arrived in their early than 1.00 p.m, so we went inside the Eroom and then we told the lady (i forgot). Anyway, we had our examination at around 1.21 p.m, at first coning and i seated beside each other, but then when the test began, we got separated by distance (smiling).

When i started reading the test, for heaven sakes, i said to myself, i hate this type of test, i really remembered the type of test when i was in grade six, where there were words that were underlined, that could be either noun,pronoun,verb,adverb,adjective or other types of grammar. So i started scanning the back pages, there were none, of course because it was in the next page, and geeh, i did not knew where to begin, since i got lost with the type of test, so i started answering the first page and i began answering number seven (smiling), and then i jumped back to number one. Then i answered the second page, i think it was filling in the correct words, then matching type, then identify if it was noun,pronoun and others, and what really struck me was the noun,adjective,antonyms,synonyms for examination,incompetence,indulgence,productivity,and others, i admit that i really did not knew the answer, you can say i am so dumber but i know (smiling), and then the second to the last was these giving the sample for present continuous, hell i can say, i really did not knew it. The last part was essay, geeh, i did not wrote anything i knew, since i knew i would not make it, so i stood up and then look at coning with a smile of disaster.

When i approached the lady in the front desk, she asked me, were you available for the interview this afternoon, i said, "i don't think so, i would rather have the interview the next day (i have no plan of coming back when i said this), then i told her that "i do not know how to answer some of the questions, since i only knew simple grammar, and i think i did not make it", she smiled and said,"it is okay", and then i told her, i will just wait for coning", so she said okay (with a smile).

I waited for coning,and then when she was finished, i saw this big grin on her face, then she approached the lady that talked to me before and she said yes for an interview and so i said yes also. We talked about the exam and it was really hard.

We had our interview, i was the last person to be interviewed. What happened on my interview was this, i sat on the chair without being asked to sit down, who cares,since she (the interviewer) was so busy with her business in her lap top, and then she forgot to introduce herself to me, and then she asked me, how do you find your test, and i answered her with all the truthfulness of the exam with what i really felt and think of it, i said "it was very difficult", she smiled back, and then she said, so you are a nurse, likeeeeeee ( she was looking for the name of coning, i think only two of us were nurses in there), i said Coning, and she said "oh yes", and why did you apply here, of course i lied, since i did not knew why i wanted to teach Koreans, maybe i just wanted to have foreign friends, of course i did not mentioned that part. And then she asked me, tell me about yourself that was not written her, i believe she was referring to my resume. So i started talking about myself. The last part was really interesting, it was a debate, (laughing hard). She told me do you know any speech, for heaven sake, i forgot what speech is, i know its definition but i did not knew what were it's classification and others. So i told her, no, she said in high toned voice, NOooo?, I said i only knew noun and others, she said okay write it, i wrote it, for hades fault, why did i wrote in there preposition, since i only knew the samples of it not the meaning of it, and she said again "you do not know the meaning of it?" How can you teach them, they are not elementary" in high pitched voice again, i told her, in a smiling face with a low toned voice " well, i think there would be time for me to learn it and i would not going to teach if i do not know the lesson, i know they are in the middle adults groups". And that was the last part, and then she told me, okay i will just send you an sms if you are accepted and did you know that 20% is taken from the test and 40% is from the interview, i said okay, and then i just wondered now, what happened to the 40%, (Laughing).

I was the fastest person that she interviewed, but it was hell a place of hades, i mean the interview. After that we waited for ising in Luxur Hotel and then when ising arrived, we went to SM city and had our snacks in Chowking, where ising had lauriat, while me and coning had halo-halo, aying had halo-halo and siopao.

Again, as i always said, we got separated by places, we went home after our snacks.
