Drrr... I didn't do so well on my PWT :( I see what I could have done better though, after talking to Rab - like giving more attention to Meiland's ideas and explaining them before going into my own examples and summarizing the WHOLE paragraph and not just part of it. I'll try to do a better job on the next PWT! Tomoaki, thanks for sharing your document! I've only seen a glimpse of it but there's already a whoole lot about fallacy and stuff on it. :O wow!
I've been doing a 3B check on Hemingway after eating dinner... I found a site that seemed to have a lot of information from many sources so I printed it out, slightly agonizing at the fact that there were 7 pages to read. But once I started to read, I was pulled in. I had no idea he led such a rocky life! I mean, he had three divorces, had alcoholic and hallucinatory problems, and committed suicide in the very end...?! I thought it was really interesting how he wrote The Old Man and the Sea in the midst of his troubling days. Maybe there are a lot of catharses expressed in the symbols that he uses in that book. Oh, that reminds me...! One of my best friends, who is half American and Japanese, is related to Hemingway. Her grandma on her father's side is closely related to Ernest Hemingway and she claims to have Hemingway's distinctive eyebrows, haha.
We're getting our photo taken for the yearbook tomorrow, right? :)
Thanks Yumi, for organizing everything!
See you all tomorrow!

I didn't do well on my PWT either. I'm sure the level of "didn't do so well" greatly differs between you and me, but I just hope we both (or all including others who are not satisfied with their PWT score) get a score that is satisfying on the next PWT.
