Fever Fever Fever - Free Write Stuffs 9



After the GMAT, I had a few days of relaxation and then I caught a cold and had a fever.

It was Friday night that I started to sneeze, at first, I thought it was simply an allergic reaction, so I went to bed early hoping that I would get better the day after. However, when I woke up Saturday morning, I was still sneezing, non-stop, and I felt sleepy with a little sore throat. As me and my friends had planned to meet up Saturday afternoon, I went out despite of my illness. While I was taking the bus to the coffee shop we planned to meet up, I felt my head spinning and it was really hot, but the strange thing is I was not sweating at all. Nevertheless, I ignored my illness and carried on, when I met my friends, I felt a little better, and to my surprise, when we were in the coffee shop, I felt perfectly fine !

To my disappointment, after my friends left, I felt hot again, and it was not by then that I began to realize I might have a fever, so I went to a clinic immediately fearing that I might had the newest bird flu, I was so scared that I thought the doctors in the clinic would take me to the hospital right away after finding out that I had a fever. To my relief, the doctor said it was only a normal flu, and the fever was caused by my throat, which was swelled and red.  

I rested the whole day on Sunday; however, my throat stills hurts so much that I am so unwilling to talk today. I hate catching a cold and even worse, I have a presentation speech later at about 14:00. I don't like the idea that I might have to postpone my speech again, as I had already postponed it last week because I had to take the GMAT test. 

Therefore, I had better go have a rest now and hope my throat would get better after noon.

Delay - Free Write Stuffs 8



Hi, everyone, I am back :)

Well, I am a bad girl because I missed last week's free write, but I am going to make it up this week! Which means, I will write two 15 minutes free writes this week. One one Tuesday, and perhaps the other on the weekends. Please forgive me that I did not write the Free Write last week, I am so stuck with my GMAT tests again. Yeah, GMAT AGAIN ! At last I finally finished it !!!! Hooray !!!!

For the test scores.... I did not do a great job, as I expected, but I got a quite average score, a little above average i guess. I did not score 700 and above, in deed, I am one question behind 700 ! That is to say, if I got one more question correct, I will get 700. I got 690, yeah, kind of in a not so good luck condition I guess.

My mother said that I should be happy with my score and just carry on for the Tofel test; however, I feel that I can do better, and some part of me wants to take the test again. The reason I said some part of me is because the other parts of me, you are right, I split myself into parts, simply want to rest at the very moment. So I ended up in this dilemma of whether I should take the test again. Hope I will figure it out soon.

After the big GMAT test, I felt relief and less pressured, I unlocked my Facebook and it felt so good to "Facebook" again !  I have not realized before, but after closing my Facebook for a month, I felt so happy that I could see all my friends status again. Although I feel a little left out at first, I am trying to catch up with what everyone is talking about and what games my friends are playing. Recently, I got obsessed with a new I-phone game, Candy Crush, it is so cute and fun. My friends are all in really high levels, such as 80 or 90 something, while I am still in 37, so there is a lot for me to catch up with :D

Spring Break - Free Write Stuffs 6



No surprise, sure, I know you could have guessed it easily... Yeah, I am studying again during my spring break ! Well I am not going to complain about it this time, otherwise my blog will be "Jolin's GMAT studying grumble blog", sounds awful.

By the way, I could like to emphasis that I did write all the Free Write Stuffs passages in 15 minutes, with a I-phone timer besides me and rings whenever it is 15 minutes (big pressure with that). However, I did use some extra time to choose the photos, I think it is alright, is it ? The photos seem small, but you can actually press on it to make it big :)

Because my boyfriend got admitted to National Chengchi University's MBA graduate program, I had a few dinner and lunch outings with my family and my boyfriend's family during the spring break. As I am still having tests, he seems too happy for me this week, I mean, he is now a graduate student, or at least going to be one, and he got admitted to a wonderful MBA program, not to mention he got in as second place out of all competitors. I am happy for him, but how I wish to celebrate with him without worrying my GMAT test. Moreover, I really ate too much recently that I had funny stomachs almost every day.

I guess you might want to know where vegetarians can enjoy a big feast and end up having stomach aches. Here, let me share some great restaurants with all of you :)

1.  Sophie's Garden

This restaurant is wonderful, there are many many choices for vegetarians. Just click in and have a look

2. Lian Xiang Restaurant

This one is a grand, high class, all you can eat vegetarian restaurant. Well, it did cost an arm and a leg to dine in there, so perhaps taking your parents with you will be a smart choice!
