A Great Day

Never before have I been so nervous while waiting for exam results. Not surprisingly, though, because I was expecting results of the Certificate of Proficiency in English, the highest English language certificate there is. No more prolonging, I got an A! And it was the first time i didn't expect it, really. Throughout the year in Bell Language School (where I attended the exam preparation course), I counted my results after almost every exercise we did. Hardly ever did I get above 80%. Now it seems I did so in the exam - grade A is 80% or better (overall, you can even fail one or more papers, but if the others are good enough, you haven't failed the whole exam).

But for the rest of the day, I wasn't as idle as I could have been. I actually almost finished a video from the scout fair I was supposed to finish until the end of August. Quite unusual, as I always do things on the last day before the deadline. In the evening (or rather night, as it turned out), I helped the scouts from pack 309 unload their things from camp. It is actually a very challenging task to unload 15 bicycles, an old stove, loads of wood and boxes and many other things into the cellar of an apartment house without waking anyone up. But I guess we succeeded.

Overall, it's been a great day. I slept until 10 o'clock.
