like it's obviously not how it happened but I like the thought of Han-seo going on this rant at Jipuragi about how cringe Han-seok is and somehow getting stuck on how his ears are so huge and it's a trait inherited from his mother so Han-seo has been spared from this "deformity" and "handsome CEO my ass", and Vincenzo listened to this and thought "I'm about to be hilarious" and straight up shot Han-seok's ear off

Rant

I'm taking the HSK4 in a week.

A whole year ago I took a mock test and got 71% right. I even considered taking the test then (so glad I didn't!)

Since then, I've had an entire year to study. I've used the app SuperChinese every. single. day. and finished all the HSK4 level lessons. I've also had 3 hours of Chinese class every week. Not to mention the podcasts I've listened to, the cdramas I've watched, the occasional reading...

So I was a little bit disappointed when I took two mock tests last month, a few weeks apart, and got

on the first one and

on the second.

For the past month I've studied a lot more focusing on the test. I've been listening to mock tests' audios and doing reading exercises every day besides reviewing SuperChinese and copying characters I struggle remembering... and today I got

I know I'm (probably) going to pass, but I feel like I've been working really hard and not getting anywhere.

I'm also gonna be really relieved after the test is done and over with, but what is that going to mean for my motivation?

I don't see myself taking another HSK test anytime soon.

Get ready to be SICK of me

Finally decided to take the HSK this year (and probably TOPIK next year).

So the era of laisse faire studying is out, and rigorous studying is back in...

Pondering whether or not to re-take the HSK4 exam (without the speaking this time) since I failed to meet the passing mark by around 10 points last time and I refuse to believe that the past few months of studying wouldn't be able to give me that boost.

I love how people on education forums are like "these certifications mean nothing!!!1!!" about tests but like as a brown person from a 'third world country' you guys just simply do not understand that we're deemed quite worthless anywhere if we don't have the money and the certification. this isn't something we're able to avoid. at all. and to even get this worthless certification, I had to use 50% of my monthly salary. So while I'm glad that you think these things are worthless, maybe learn to just not say that to people who are not asking. I don't want to know if this test killed your real life friend by throwing questions at it or whatever. I just want to know how to pass this exam so that people who review my application will have one less reason to reject me. sit down if you cannot offer any help. seriously.
