Day Three of New Experiences.
Au Revoir in Hillcrest! Amazing service if you are ever in San Diego! :)
I forgot this was in my French book. A couple weeks back we were put into groups and since we were relearning the conditional tense, we were told to write eachother fortunes like in fortune cookies. It was really cheesy and I barely read the one that was given to me since class was about to end and I wanted to run and fuel my need for hot Cheetos from the cafeteria. But now opening my book and finding it resting on my pages needed to study for my upcoming test, it is very comforting. Merci Silly Fortune!
Relearning 2 years of french over the weekend.
I am not over exaggerating at all this time when I describe what I have done over my first week of school. I woke up went to school, came home changed, ran to work, came home from work, shower, study, sleep. I also realized that I ate anything I could get my hands on, which was usually chips and gummy worms and I remember Tuesday my mom left me some Chick fil-a while I was in the process of changing to hurry and make my shift at work.
Weirdly, I sorta like it. Believe me though, I will hate it at some points. But for some bizarre reason I like the idea that I have to be somewhere constantly and be all active and engaging and stuff. Oh but trust me I will complain about it later. Trust me.
One of the subjects I am taking is French. I took French 3 years in high school, I wasn’t the best at the subject but I was able to get through each class with a B and one report card the stars were aligned and I luckily got an A. I stopped my junior year and revisited it this year in college as a transferable unit to transfer. Boy, what do I have some relearning to visit. I practically pleaded the professor to let me in the class after I had to explain why my challenge test to get in the class had many errors and my passe composse was incredibly weak.
I will be honest that I thought going into the second year of french after having 3 years of it would give me an advantage and I would be able to be like some sort of star student, but no like almost half of the students are in the same situation as me and I feel like I was the only one that was on the verge of drowning in that class.
Oh brain, please let the fact that I have put in an incredible amount of time on this beautiful but tedious language into good use. Make me French Savvy and understand more than 70% on what my teacher is talking about in class next time.
s’il vous plait!
