Today, I took the foreign language translation exam that all Ph. D. students have to pass at some point. I took mine in German, and I think I bombed it. All this despite the lucky brownies Connie baked for me. The whole idea is ludicrous anyway; if I wanted to be interested in foreign languages and cultures, I wouldn't live in America, damn it! I can still take it next semester, but if I fail it that time, then I'm basically fucked.
On an up note, tomorrow is the "showing vs. telling" demonstration for my creative writing class, and that should be fun.
