What a Terrible Weekend

A weekend crammed with chess competition paperwork, an ECG recheck, a bare-exam CET-6, and a half-hour walk — and somehow I still found two whole days not to study right before finals.

Prelude

This terrible weekend starts from Friday. First, there’s a chess competition this weekend, which means submitting a bunch of messy paperwork.

(PS: I hate this competition — it wasted my entire Sunday.)

Then I went for an ECG.

Here’s the result. The school clinic doctor strongly recommended I go to a big hospital for further checks. But the thing is, Friday is a full day of classes, and Saturday I have the CET-6 exam — my schedule was jam-packed.

Main Story

The next day, I headed straight to the hospital.

Turns out nothing’s wrong. Isn’t that infuriating? I didn’t even eat breakfast, and I stood in line for a whole hour.

Then the CET-6 English exam — I have no words. It was so ridiculously hard. Not friendly at all to someone who went in without any prep.

Is there any hope for writing “strength” as “stregth”?

Sunday I was up at 7 AM too (PS: two consecutive days of an 8 AM lifestyle, basically turning me into a week-long early bird).

Went to the Industrial and Commercial University next to my school. I have to say, their campus is huge — it took me a full half hour to walk across it. Participated in the competition, and honestly it was just messing around for a day.

Conclusion

This weekend was very… fulfilling? Maybe. Right before finals, managing to spend two whole days not studying is quite an achievement /(ㄒoㄒ)/~~
