10. Outcome

In the end, I got a good mark (7,95) but a bit lower than what I though I'd get. My final position was 63rd, tied with two more people. I think it must have been around 190 people who have passed the exam and a bit more than 200 people who haven't.

What have I learnt from this experience? Many things. First of all, it doesn't matter whether I get obsessed with English or study relaxedly, I'll get more or less the same mark. Then, the relaxed way seems to be clearly a better option. Secondly, marks are not important, but getting the passing mark. From now on, I'll have to keep this rule in mind, forgetting about competition. Thirdly, there are many people who know a lot about English. People who lived abroad many years and came back to become a teacher is an example of this. I learnt that I can't compare myself with those people. Finally, I have to celebrate my achievements when they arrive after a long period, because nobody will do that for me if I don't.

Tomorrow, I'll be given kind of a tour around the place where I'm going to attend for several years -I hope so- and next Monday is supposed to be the first day of class. So, to give sort of a conclusion, I have to forget about the results -which are not going to change- and enjoy this new stage of my life.

9. Excitement

I'm glad to tell all my readers that my English entrance classes at Joaquín V. González institute have already begun! And let me also tell you that I'm doing it as well as I thought I'd do it! The level of English that I found among my classmates is higher than expected, which makes me feel excited about the competition that will happen in a couple of weeks (the entrance examination), in which a few of us will succeed and many of us won't. Why do I say this? Because we've been told that only 220 or at most 230 applicants are going to enter the university, regardless of the quantity of examinees taking the exam. The passing mark is 6. My best mark doing mock exams was 9,15. I have a huge edge there to relax. However, I'm studying a lot, being obsessive as hell just to get the first place in the competition. I probably won't because there are some students who are not attending to this entrance course as they don't need it, they are extremely good at English. Those are my main preventers. Anyhow, I'll do my best and get the best position I can. All this situation brought back my enthusiasm for the study of English and English itself.

8. Singleness

As I've said it before, our lives go through different processes, and beyond the fact that you like it or not, they're gonna happen and you just need to let them flow. If you read my entries in a chronological order, you'll not be able to notice the logic they follow. Indeed, I'm not quite sure if they follow any sort of logic.

This paragraph was not planned to be written, but it's necessary now that a long time has happened since I've started to write this entry. To clarify this, I began to write this entry about two months ago more or less, moment in which precisely I was going through one of the processes aforementioned, in the middle of a learning process. To be honest, I'm not sure what I was planning to write but what I can tell you about my singleness today is still interesting.

There's no much to say about what I've learnt from my singleness, in fact there are very few things to mention. Nevertheless, all of them are really interesting to me. Firstly, I've learnt that love can take many shapes. Yes, love can take so many shapes. So many that any type of love should amaze. Secondly: nobody should criticize the way you love every person in your life. It's your life, you choose how to love! And this is significantly important, because way too many people fail to understand this point...Third and lastly, singleness has its good side. It is the moment in which you realize you can always come back to a point you never thought you'd come back again. And this is not too bad, even though it supposes that you've just broken up or been dumped. This is the time to demonstrate yourself that you can achieve everything you have in mind. There are no bounds, but just when you believe in yourself.
