long long looong time no see!

Hey, everyone.
How's it going?

I am sorry I didn't write my blog for a long time.
It was on purpose.haha
Yes, well, I had TOEFL today, so I had to study for it seriously.
Do you know what TOEFL is?
It is.. Test Of English as a Foreign Language.
It is so hard and I have to take it twice at least in Canada.
Today was my test day.
I missed period 4 class and Eri's host father picked us up and he took us to the test building.
I mean... Eri took TOEFL today too!
Anyways, I am so happy that I finished the first TOEFL finally!
Never mind about my score...haha

There were some troubles before I took TOEFL.
Well, actually, only one trouble.
Yesterday, my host mother said to me, "Mari, the TOEFL centre is changed."
"What?"
We were going to take it at University of Alberta, but yesterday, my host mother got a call from ETS and they told that I had to take TOEFL downtown.
It was suddenly, so I was so upset.
You know, I don't go downtown so often. I really worried that I can go there by bus without accident.
Of course, to take it safely, I need to be in the building on time.
My study abroad's coordinator called my house and she asked my host parents to drive me there.
My host family and Eri's host family talked about that on the phone last night and finally, Eri's host father took us there and my host father picked us up.
In conclusion... No problem!
Oh, yeah, one more trouble.
Because it was the first time for ETS to take place TOEFL downtown instead of U of A, the officers were really upset as well.
Our test was gonna start at 4, but they couldn't control computers well, so finally, we could start testing at 4:45pm. Then, we finished after 9pm...
I am tired now...

I haven't written about the band camp, my first time Halloween yet, right?
I'll do my best to write about that this weekend.
I have mid-term exam next Wednesday, so I have to study for it this time.haaaa
Good night!
