i got the result for my negotiation test and scored 15. i guess it was part of Ardra's effort also, since she did support me during the test. though Mrs Suma said we settled the problem a bit too fast, I still feel that it was an improvement of mine when i did try to manage to not mess my own words up again.


then we came to the emotional "test". we paired a group 2 people and one would have to tell the other one secret that may shock the other. I tried very hard to think about what i should have tell Jessica (it was not a big secret by the way, but it's offensive to some people so I don't feel like telling it). and when she reacted as she was shocked and asked me why, I started to regret that I chose it to tell.

though later it came out that her reaction was somewhat an act, I still could not get rid of the worry feeling. as for Mrs Suma said, the reaction towards your words will many times make you scared/regret/worried/upset/down. to me, that was a double sides lesson, that every words I say may hurt others and that the truth I tell may get another reaction if I can learn how to make it sound acceptable.

out of the studying a bit, but I guess now I can understand why people say the cold of English was an effect of the Rose Wars long ago. they tend to not talk much, since even a very small wrong word can lead to an awful consequence.
