Diagnostic Test

When I took the test, I was actually quite surprised about how I did. I expected to get almost everything wrong, but I managed to get a good amount of them correct. It really wasn't as terrible as I thought it was going to be, since I was able to get through a bit of it without being completely confused. The thing that really got me, though, was the vocabulary. If I had known the definitions to the words I was clueless about, I definitely would have done better. When I read "Forbidden Mourning", I really was confused by vocabulary, which ruined the imagery, which then almost left me totally lost. Though, to my surprise, I did okay when answering the questions (I probably just had a few lucky guesses). The one thing I did enjoy in the test was the poem "Night Clouds". I liked the picture the author painted in such a short poem. I also liked the passage from Pride and Prejudice. I never have actually read it before (and feel like I should really read it sometime soon), but I liked the converstion between Mr. and Mrs. Bennet. Overall, I thought the test was okay, and some-what interesting. I know now that i'll probably have a lot of work to do this year, and (oddly enough) I kind of look forward to it.
