After 18 days , the exam of graduate is coming . and it continue to 14th, April. I'm so nervous every momet.
there are 6 schools I registered , the first school I confront is NTU, I cant think about how it going.
But the best part is , as long as thease exams are over, I can join you every saturday, I'm excited about that.

I spent time working out what NTU is, now I got it. that isn't the taiwanese dollor...is that only me who confused?
Well, as we are approaching english as a linqua franca internationally, we may call some names in a global friendly manor. That Uni is not generally internationally known as that name, my friend.

Can someone tell me that can the word " school" refer to a university in american english? I don't feel comfortable, but perhaps it is just because being in britain.

Sorry Iris i go into language too much, but you will be alright, and wish you do them well.

To Iris.
Good luck, mate! I've been through this several years ago, and again just 2 months ago. Take it easy, don't panic, then you'll make it.

Well, "school" here is also a rather unusual usage to me. Or maybe she's referring to specific schools of an university, such as law school, business school...etc?

BTW, about the NTU matter, I think it's a good idea to give at least the full name of the university. Nonetheless, I also think it's not a problem using the acronym "NTU" here, since the readers are mainly, if not all, Taiwanese or foreigners live in Taiwan. I wouldn't be surprised if people think it's a bit tedious to post in a manner as if explaining to foreigners who know little about Taiwan. To me, localisation is just as important as internationalisation.

PS, The first one who figures out why I typed those words in red will get a free dinner.
