I’ve downed about 5 strong mugs of black tea today and a Thermos full of lukewarm French press slightly milked coffee. I have, so far, done 49 speaking tests, each about 5 minutes long. I have a pounding headache deep in my eye sockets (probably from all the tea). The tests have run overtime into the after lunch session, so I have had to cancel the business classes to make way for the overflow. This is fine, really, because I just finished group 1′s tests and still have about a half hour left in what would have been their biz class. I’m going to put my head on my desk and rest my eyes.
I can’t believe we agred to go to Hefei for testing this weekend. After these 55, I’ll have 30 more to look forward to. Huzzah! At least we have the Hilton to look forward to. They have the best bath goodies and a lovely deep bath tub. Must remember to bring my swimsuit for the pool.
