Dear Diary:

Last week was a nervous week. There are two things making me nervous: First, the result of my preliminary exam of NTUST is going to come out on Thur. Second, I am going to take the exam of my first priority-NTNU on Sat.

Luckily, I got the permission to interview which in on next Sunday (3/29). So I will be "double nervous" again next whole week. God bless me!!!

As for the exam on Saturday... that was exhausting because I could not sleep well the night before the exam which started at 8 in the morning. And I don't have much confidence in what I wrote on the answer sheet. There was a question that almost made me crazy. As following:

Youtube video clipps have been widely used nowadays. They are real people with real language.

It is related with authenticity and corpus. Please define the two terms. (10%) Use the video clipps on Youtube to make a lesson plan that can achieve the goal of authenticity and the integration of four skills. (15%)

Well, well, well, how do I know any useful video on Youtube that is suitable for teaching and

integrating the four skills: L, R, S, W? You know what I wrote down? I use the song clipp "Moon River" from the movie "The Breakfast of Tiffany" as my authentic material to teach. I think it's terrible because it's not authentic at all, is it? Dear Diary, do you have any ideas?

Anyway, I am quite happy that I can go interview next week but I still hope that I can get the

permisson for interview from NTNU. What result will it be? It will wait for at least one month.

Before that, I am going to have fun all day and all night long!!!! hahahahahah
