My Wild and Crazy Friday Night
Drank 2 glasses of wine, a beer, didn't come home till 8:30 and slept at 9:30. (Oooh, but it was with Tancrèdi, the Suisse-Italiano, testosterorne-filled 20-year-old... may I remind you of those darling dimples, huge sparkling brown eyes, and wide,"bouclé"curls. He is making an effort to touch me by accident. Love it.)
I am determined to pass my first year. My social life was swept out the window with a tornado, made it to the North Atlantic Drift, and rests as shards posed in remote areas of our blue and green geosphere. People have tried to call me and send me text messages to do things in the past couple of weeks, not to receive fierce apologies until up to 6 days after... and then only by email.
Failed my first test that I have taken in 3 years... by one point. The lowest grade is dropped. Worked the last 3 weekends from waking till sleeping. The first three weeks I was working school nights till 9 or 11 on average. Finally the French is natural enough that I can catch up on all of the math things that I missed while trying to understand all the new mathematical terminology in French that was being used during these first three weeks. Went to a 3 hour tutoring session Thursday and after worked till 3 am... class was at 10. Wednesday night it was till 1 am and Tuesday it was 2 am.
Sitting in my classes the other day I couldn't believe it! I was actually understanding that there was math and physics being taught! LOL I don't have to think anymore about translating. I am taking all my notes in French. I am asking questions when they enter my head in French! and not when they enter my head in English and then are translated into French. This is REALLLLY making me feel a lot better.
