Ahhh, italiano. Ho paura.

[mpenny]

Another nerve-wracking Italian class today... on Friday, we all took our first exam, and it was pretty difficult. I swear, my professor managed to find every bizarre exception to standard Italian grammar and put it all in the test. Toward the end of class, he began handing the exams back to us, with the warning, "The exams were.. really.. not good. I don't know what we need to change, guys, but we've got to do something about these grades." The guy behind me got his test back and muttered "Failed again" loud enough that I heard. The girl to my left refused to look at her grade. This one guy in my class who constantly raises his hand and always seems to know the answer was sitting in the next row over, so I caught a glimpse of his score: a B -. Oh boy.

My score was a B+. Don't ask me how, but I beat the crazy smart kid - hoorayyyyyyyy :-D
