Tenses - suck in every language.

Learning brand new tenses in Gaelic is not only dull and incredibly hard but just flies over my head like a homing pigeon! Luckily it isn't going to be in our next test. It would be nice to pass one of those things for once so this week will be revision cramming week! I've got to read Utopia by Thomas More as well because my friend Petsa is coming up this weekend and I don't think it would be very friendly to do homework while she sits there waiting for us to do out and drink. Sparknotes is calling! I've also got to go and pick up some leaflets on Scottish tourism for my ethnology essay. I wish we could write about our current topic of oral narrative. Yesterday we were being told about fairytales and how they change depending on the area. The Celtic version of Snow White features a talking trout! No joke! And today we listened to this folk-tale which featured a woman trying to shit while standing up a tree! You can tall these tales are Celtic, they've got drink, shit, delusions and possible elements of madness! And the Snow White one had bigamy too! Just to keep things fresh.
