i actually passed my french placement test, very much to my surprise. i had thought i completely humiliated myself during the oral exam (which i didn't expect). and thus my mind went blank and i couldnt even recognise the question "what's your name?" in french. other inane questions were shot at me and i mumbled off one word answers, i tried desperately to string my answers into coherent sentences but to not much avail. it was one of my most humbling experiences yet.
