One down, seven to go.

Today was History and English usage (paper II). The English was surprisingly easy. While the History we were having a hard time in identifying the cartoon in the data based question. Because the quality of photo copy machine was really...not very good in a sense that everyone was having trouble in looking at the image.

And the essay questions were:

1) To what extend did the collapse of the Qing Dynasty was due to the work of Cixi?

2a) What does the word "modernization" means?
b) Could the Meiji Restoration count as a successful modernization?

3) "The downfall of the Czardom in Russian was mainly because of the failed reforms during 1906-17." Do you agree? Explain with relevant historical events.

I chose question 2 because I've out most of my time in studying that part. And I've broke my personal record of writing 7 pages for this essay. After the exam, when Umi-san and Kuyami-san asked me how many pages did I write, they immediately called me crazy, since the 2 of them only wrote 2 pages. And both of them chose question 1. Kuyami-san ran off the the book store for the newest issue of Ayashi no SERESU already. While Umi-san and Hikaru-san went home to study for Economics.


Author's Note

Okay, sessha's mom is not home again. Sessha can take time in writing the Thank You List:

link no miko-dono: It's not very difficult actually. But the discussion part can be really messy de gozaru. There is anime characters making random appearances in my school de gozaru yo! Hehe, sessha is joking. But we have the Reality version of several characters: Momoko, Hinagiku, Fuu, Usagi, Kagome, and Nakago. ^^x

zipp-dono: 5:45am was a piece of cake to sessha de gozaru. Sessha had once tried and woke up at 5:00am for my homework and the Diaries, 4:30am for the Chinese exam...

2 down, 6 to go! Please remember to review de gozaru!
