          Today is finally November 1 in Taiwan. Guess what special day is November 1? Nothing...expect that we had two midterm tests, English and History, and we had a PE test. First off, the English test is kind of easy with some trick questions and I did study but most of what I studied did not appear on the test. I studied Rikki-Tikki, Three Skeleton Key, The Ruum, Eeking out a Life and that's basically it. The test tested some materials that I haven't read in a while, including Here Be Dragons. As for the History midterm, I thought it was really easy but then, I didn't do so well on it...Finally, there's the PE test. We have to do push ups, sit ups, digging, pull ups, run three laps, and run back and forth. Out of all those, we did sit ups first. I did improve but I forgot what's the number. Then, we did push ups. I think I went down for this. I did 33 and I thought that was a lot until I saw the others. Then, pull ups, I still manage to do the most pull ups, which is some number in the ten digits ( I forgot what it was). Then, we ran back and forth. Throughout the three PE tests, I have ran 14 times and this time, I managed to reach almost 15. I got to the other side and while I am bending down to touch the floor, Mr.Li blew on the whistle, so still, I did 14... Then, we ran three laps across the street at the part. That is the most trying one of all. All three laps took me 3 minutes and 15 seconds. Throughout the three tests, I managed between 3 minutes and 20 seconds....so I suppose, that's not that bad.
