MY OLD FRIEND

Continuing my story about the bio exam, the result came out and our average score turns out to be around 77%. I’m not going to tell you my score, but I can say that the exam was super detailed. Some of the questions were really unexpected in terms of making us decide how many numbers of deaths occurred and where did the event happen. Not only that but the scope of the exam was overall too broad. For the first time in university, I have studied for an exam for a week every day, and I expected to receive a score that was a lot higher than the one I received just now. 

So, I have lost the trust of whenever the professor says in some slides, “You don’t have to memorize these.” I feel like I do need to memorize everything. 

Other than the biology, I will talk about a friend I have met the past weekend. He was my roommate during the first day of my middle school life, and I have been friends with him until now; I just never saw him for more than 5 years. And I met this guy at the night party. We had so much to talk about when we met, starting with our past jokes and troubles during dorm life. It was a great meeting with his friends too, who were all very nice and kind. Back to our troubles, I remember eating ramen at night with him and other friends at different rooms every time. I remember fighting with him for the interruption of Tetris by pressing the spacebar continuously. I remember going out at midnight around 3:a.m. with him secretly to see the full moon. I admit that my life back in middle school was very fun. At the same time, I regret not having much fun with my friends during high school life. 

Today, I skipped my Spanish morning class that was supposed to start at 9:50 a.m. As usual, I could not wake up right away after my alarm clock rang, but this time I slept after that for a long time. I woke up at 10 a.m., and I knew that it would be useless to start packing up and arrive after 30 minutes of class time had passed. I went back to sleep happily until 11: 30 a.m., waking up as fresh as ever. And I had my bio lab after my lovely sushi. I almost threw up my sushi since I came back right after eating it and met an atmosphere with a smell of rotten sea animals. They were dead squid, worms, clams, and crayfish. My lab partner and I dissected them to see the inner organs which were pretty cool. I didn’t know that their organ systems were as much complicated as ours until today, working hard to memorize each of them and their functions. And it brought me the memory of myself sitting on a chair for several hours trying to squish all the bio terms in my head before the exam day.
