My Opera【Day Grand Exam】First Phase Conquered
Thursday, January 25, 2007 7:57:21 AM
I finally got recovered from the Grand Exam--China's Postgraduates Extrance Exam, seemingly to GRE yet much more competitive.
The exam fell on Jan, 20&21, usually around the days when final exams are always coming neck by neck, which is quite tense and heavily-loaded for those seniors;
However,I, whose profession now is Preparing for this particular exam, also embrace this feeling.
Looking back, it was almost five entire months ,leading a life of studyroom--dining hall--dormitory;
it was days of competitive studies, reading the same book for four or five times yet still found myself lack of knowlege finally;
(Places where i check which classroom is avialable for self-study)
It was days nurtured by the strong beliefe in my heart calling for the utmost of myself,
and supported by the love and care from my parents ever since they know i am to accomplish the dream which they once so yearned for while rejected by me.
Days of exam went as usual days, however, it was a little pity that i was not so in my condition.
I moved to my grandparents' home for a big dinner and fixed myself for the mood of this grand day.
Frankly speanking, I am totally in a different condition from last year when I was kind of forced to step into the classroom to take the exam just not to fail my mom;
while this year, i chose the way and have planed well for this way:
@1: Figure Out what's the Charming out there
Going back to school or at least with the cover of owing the status of being at school would earn me more chances as to see myslef more clearly, to seek what's in me, to really appreciate my English ability as an advantage rather than a Major.
So ECNU, reputable for its education and psychology departments, caught my attention, with its strength in International Studies of Chinese.
@2:Settle Down for a roomate and a dwelling place
It is rather a pity that i have not rent house on the first hand when i was working, which would have helped to mature myslef;
Nevertheless, during my 4-month rental experience, i also learned a lot: caring myslef from every coner of life; leading a ever-regular life with diary written strictly before going to sleep; creating harmonious and supportive realtion with my roomate...
We shared one room without any bed, thus i borrowed several quilts from my relatives and bought an electicity-powered pat.
Anyhow days got passed;
Looking back the past, it was really days of determination, repetition &concentration.
@3 Reexperience campus life from another perspective
This time I have a special identity: Professional Prep-postgraduate
i.e. without employment or students identity, the soly aim and work is prepration of the exam.
This maybe a social phenomenon here: Too many graduates striving for live from the bottom of life with thin wages, the loosen policy for applying further study, the growing awareness of changing one's life by studies ;
Therefore, the diploma-orientated social value guide more and more people to obtain this paper of diploma.
So i could not help asking what's the core value of the course?
Better life? higher status? more opportunties?
Maybe.
But for me and people like me, the hidden meaning there is to get a hand on this new city and the unknown life here.
.
These days i would like to give myself more changes on the basis of the understanding of myself.
Yes, only when we get down to think and ponder on such issues, shall we know what's the next step shall be adoptted, not through stories on TV screen.
Days back to school is different in that i am with a different state of mind this time.
Classroom are bright and tempting;
Lectures are inspiring,
I am trying to see through this campus and people in it as an outsider who is known by none, as well as an insider who is among the most frequent visitors of its classrooms.
@4 Days of exam
I was arragend at a seat against the wall, interestingly, the guy before me never show up--indeed many people escape physically from this test , also exsisting are people escaping from such tests mentally who treat it like a joke or play.
So i did my answers whole heartedly;
My final conclusion is the first day tests of politics and english is a Test of Attitude : those who have the will to be a graduate shall have the mind to study and prepare these common subjects;
The second day is , as i understand, the Test of Aptitude, including two subjects of the field one is applying.
For me, Writing and Basc knolwge of Chinese Linguistics are tested.
Indeed when one is involved in the exam, 3 hours passed quickly.
The result shall be known by March when i shall know wehter i have the chance to take a second interview.
The above is a brief account of the days i have been gone through, during which my mom phoned everyday.
By every-day brife exchanges of information and receive of concern and care from my family, i was able to stick onto the final.
It is no wonder that Family Support was the top-seclect factor by test-takers for reasons that support us to the end.
