I was misinformed as to when the State Department would give me my Arabic exam results. It looks like the contractor who runs the tests only provides scores once a week - every Monday morning. Having taken my test on a Monday morning, I’ll have to wait the longest amount of time possible. Fortunately, waiting is a skill I’ve perfected during this whole process.
The wait has also given me a chance to review every piece of my performance over those ten minutes, at least to the extent that I can remember anything that happened at all. I realized that my answer to one of the questions was actually pretty good, given that I understood barely a word of it. I answered “maybe ten years ago...” and then trailed off unintelligibly. That’s actually a reasonable answer to a lot more questions than you’d think, for example:
“Do you exercise or play sports at all?”
“Are you satisfied with your work?”
“How long ago did you begin the process of becoming a foreign service officer?”
The more I think about it, the more convinced I’ve become that I might have nailed that one. Only another few days until I find out. Do you think I can handle the stress?
Maybe, around ten years ago.
I really enjoy to read all the content is posted on your blog. It's easy to read, the content is great, and you’re an educated writer unlike most of the blogs.thanks for the post.
