I rested a bit in my room, and then I went to my next classes, and worked, I tried to participate a bit, and the afternoon ended. I came back to my room to take my papers for my oral exam, I worked on it just a bit before and I headed out to the classroom where I found my English teacher, a tall woman who I don't really hate.

I started my oral, everything was going alright, I finished it, very proud of me and my work. But I saw in my teacher eyes that it wasn't that great.

I got out and I started to run, and cry.
