TCf aftermath

Voilà, I took my first TCF's test this morning. It was quite hard. sigh.. Hope that I can pass the minimum... lol... But anyway, I don't know what was happening with me this morning. I didn't feel anxious at all before exam (which is unusual...)! It was a very good experience, and I really like it because I really helped me in relaxing myself. hah. Why? I think the only reason to this phenomenon is because of me having an attitude of "letting go" (effect of listening to ajahn brahm's talk). I actually know that whatever level I achieved here in villeneuve, although if I pass the minimum level of french for graduation, I will need to retake another exam in one year.  So, knowing that thing, I just get myself relaxed before exam. and the result is: I felt very much rejoiced thanks to my good awesome sleep before and I can concentrate much better during the comprehension orale! I myself cannot believe it, I really concentrate myself to listen and as a result, I can hear every single word that is mentioned. So, ya, advice for my future me:

• try to get a good night sleep before exam and remember the attitude of "letting go"! Don't keep bothering yourself with questions like: "how if I fail my exam?how if I forget the concept? how if ...?". Instead you can always ask yourself "how if I don't fail the exam? how if i don't forget the concept? ". In fact, the "how if" questions are irrelevant and it is wasting your time. Instead, concentrate on the present, forget about the past and don't be afraid about the future as the only thing that matters is the present. Do what you can do best at THIS moment! 

Anyway, this après midi, I had my lunch with my friends in a restaurant asiatique, it was an all you can eat restaurant. not bad, but not that good either.hahaha.. But anyway, I was very full!

après, I went to do kayaking at the river Lot that traverses the city where I am staying right now. It was fun, and at the same time tiring... I think my hands are now completely detached from my body!hhahaha
