TOEFL score

I can't believe it! I got a 111 score for my TOEFL!

Whew, well, that's one requirement down. Still can't believe I even managed to get a higher-than-expected score for my essays. On the day of the exam, my mind just blanked out on that last essay. I can laugh about it now, especially when the rating seems to be higher for that particular essay.

I got 30 for Reading, 30 for Listening, 24 for Speaking and 27 for Writing. Not bad. I knew Speaking was going to be my Waterloo. Surprisingly again, the speaking parts I was dreading got a higher score.


One exam down. One more to go.

MBA Circle: A Virtual MBA Fair

Wow! This is the first time I've received an invite to a virtual fair!

Almost got lost in looking for the building -- I was suffering from jetlag that day so I had an excuse.  :-)

 Say hello to the friendly rep by the Information Desk:

Such a wide lobby, but where are all the people?

 Ah, there they are! And here are the schools participating in the fair:

Each booth reminds me of those tiny Polly Pocket houses I used to play with when I was a kid:

Each school "personally" mans its own booth:

I really enjoyed attending the fair -- if only to experience virtual reality. I was amazed at every link, every click! There were buttons for surveys, downloads, profiles, feedback from students and alumni, and chat forums. I just wish there were more schools who participated and that there were more school reps online during Pacific time.

I wish there were fairs like this in the Philippines! (Job fairs, for instance.) No long lines, no long commute, no further expenses. All experienced in the comfort of your home.
