Man, it was way harder than I anticipated.  I studied for a &#8220;large section of multiple choice&#8221; type test.  There was way less MC than I had hoped.  There was a lot more &#8220;recall exact details&#8221; type questions, which I could not really do with any confidence.  When you study in anticipation of multiple choice tests, you cover a large amount of information, in less detail.  That&#8217;s what I did.  *sigh*  And to top it off, I got BOTH the wines wrong on the tasting section.  I thought the white was a Pinot Gris and the Red was a Cabernet Sauvignon, but the white was a Riesling (my initial guess!) and the red was a Shiraz&#8230; No way!  I got no mint or chocolate from it&#8230;  I hope I passed.  \ud83d\ude41<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a shame.

Agh&#8230; There was so much geography that I didn&#8217;t study.  I was all guesses and looking back at previous questions for reference.  At least it&#8217;s Friday.  I&#8217;m almost finished my Venti Mocha Frap, and I&#8217;m listening to some good streaming tunes.  Oh, and I&#8217;m kinda working on my late assignment for networking class.
