The USTET, Joshua, and My Videos

Dang... I'm so lazy. This is something I should've done last Sunday, yesterday. Then again, I'm playing hookie today, so I had the entire day to myself and Snoopy and my psychic iTunes, not a bad mix if I should say so myself.

First up, the University of Santo Tomas Entrance Test... By far, the EASIEST entrance exam I've encountered. Those people, whoever they are, weren't wrong. A 2nd year student could take it and pass. And at the bottom of the standardized answer sheet "Copyright 2005" was printed. :D

The "Mental Ability" portion was something they didn't expect the students to complete, after all, 80 items in 30 minutes... Doable, as long as you don't dabble around that is. It was a bit of a mix of logic questions, easy math questions (like there's a mother and a father with two sons, and two daughter-in-laws, each of the sons had two kids, how many are there in all?) Really, now.

Next, was the English section, it was more or less divided into three parts, the vocabulary section, the analogy section, and the very, very short reading comprehension one. Now, I think I missed one, but that doesn't matter. The vocab wasn't particularly challenging. It was as if they put semi-difficult words and threw in a bunch of review center sponsored nomenclatures, just for the sake of confusing the students.

Math was 2nd year level. Easy 2nd year level. Like, what is the compliment of 67°? *roll eyes*

Science, same comment for math, except for two Physics questions that weren't really common sense. Actually, one of the questions I'm referring to is about projectiles. And I just learned about projectiles two weeks ago. Same angle of projectile and stuff, but different speed equals the same time to hit the ground.

Anyway... I was actually laughing and dying at the same time during the test. The examiner read her guide all slow and weird. She actually misread part of it as well... But then again, she was cute and I'll never see her again (probably) so it doesn't really matter. And of course, with easy tests, come great boredom.

That should be my new catch phrase. No! It should become this overused quote, like its spoof!

Joshua. No, he's not my crush. Actually, I don't know any guys named Joshua. The Joshua I'm referring to is Joshua, the nine year old boy, from his self-titled movie. You know, the psychological thriller. I swear, the movie's totally creepy. You have this little boy, only three years older than my newphew, with a completely innocent face and I suspect a sky high IQ, killing his family, or at least driving them insane. My goodness gracious gulay... I won't say anything more about it, lest a mark be left on this pretty pink and black blog, whose format I'm thinking of changing...

Now, what was the other thing I was going to talk about... Ah, my videos...

Last week was Math and Science week, I won't post its official name as it's too gross even for me. Last week was so fun. Ok, scratch that. Last Friday was so fun. Games and Goldbergs. Mini-architectural wonders and hyperactive little brats. What a day... I actually joined a game, but it was cancelled (can I hear a collective "aww"?). A Math game. *gasp* For plus points. *ah...* Yeah, me and my Snoopy-dancing persona are talking at once.

I have to remember to post those videos of our sister team's Goldberg! A flamethrower to cut a piece of green yarn. Then again, it was an ugly piece of string, so serves it right. Bleh.

Also, I must upload the beautiful picture of our, ahem, our master engineer's work of art? structural marvel? Whatever you'd like to call it, it's the Burg Al Arab. Coincidentally, the next morning (or was it afternoon by then) I was on National Geographic when the familiar sail shape came up on the show, Frontline of Construction. Oooh... Purdy... Now, we could've used that commentary to stupefy the judges to give us a perfect score...

Ah, and no AS4. *cries*
