... indeed you are powerful as the Emperor has forseen...
Yesterday, I had the privilege of handing $200 over to people I both don't know and don't care to know so I could take two very long tests and prove that I am at least somewhat competent with literary stuff.
Me fail English? That's unpossible!
The first test was 120 questions of multiple-choice fun with 120 minutes to complete it. Normally, I would probably take about half that time to complete it, look over it for five minutes, and then just sit there like the a good little 23-year-old-who-still-lives-in-his-parents-house. But, probably since the test was at 7:30am on a &%#@ing Saturday, about half way through it I thought that I wouldn't make it and started rushing the questions. Five minutes of this go by (and I got a LOT of questions "answered") when the supervisor says that this is still an hour left. This made me feel somewhat better, as if I were going from "homicidal maniac Magee" crazy to a more "disgruntled post office employee" angry. And the questions were exactly what one would expect from an institution of "higher" "education." Plenty of liberal bias sprinkled in between Mark Twain and Shakespeare. One question actually did come right out and state "The Conservatives think that this planet is in good shape" and that we should be able to capitalize off the land and that's wrong or something. I saw "Conservatives" and "wrong" in the same line and just had to suppress a vomitous gag, but I didn't do it too well because bial shot out my nose and ears.
The second test I went into knowing nothing about. Turns out that it was made up of 12 multiple guess questions and 12 not-so-short answer questions. What ya do iz read a "completely logical and life-like" case study and answer "what should have been done instead of what the dumb-ass teacher did" questions. 4 case studies in all, one about an A.D.D. boy, and something about groups that won't communicate with each other; that all I remember. It seemed like just common sense stuff that you explain and *whala* you win. I did notice that there was a lot of people taking that were either in the Methods classes or were Student Teaching. I have not yet done either so maybe I wasn't supposed to take this yet. Oh well.
I'll get the results in 4 weeks.
