J'ai eu QUATORZE SUR VINGT. Oui,mon bac blanc oral de français, avec la tirade de Don Juan (Dom Juan, Molière) comme sujet... l'entretien était super bien, alors que j'ai oublié le texte de Tirso de Molina. Sachant que ma note à l'écrit était NEUF et qu'elle m'a dit que mon argumentation n'était pas bien structurée..., je suis très contente

I just seriously feel like beating people in the face. Their dumb complaints about high school? Kind of missing the stuff they say is inspiring them.

you're good. :D

The crowd in the courtyard today was just so... pathetically infuriating. The picture in today's "local" (Orléans area ish) paper from some of the other schools that are protesting, it's just so hilarious. They're all there in their trendy cheap Tokio Hotel and M. Pokora loving glory, walking slowly, hands clutched to cell phones or handbags their mamans have bought for them. No fists, no open mouths except to smile or ask what lunch is going to be. Obviously I wasn't there and couldn't know, but that's how it works.

I haven't seen it, and I've been listening to Madonna to calm myself down from THE FURY of today!

May I ask precisely what you were annoyed about (regarding the student protests)? I see what seem to be contradictions in what you've written, but I'd like to understand you better :)

Our May 1st protests are near non-existent. Ours will probably be on the 5th - they're usually on the first Monday, but nothing spectacular.

I'm irritated that people are doing it without understanding why, that they're doing it in the name of the 1968 movements and the CPE protests when really, the issue at hand is NOT the same, and... I mean, it's good that people are being active, but a large part of the kids who are doing this? They're doing it so they don't have to be in class and so they can feel special about participating in something. But it feels so soulless, the photographs, what I've seen in person. Everybody out in their typical way, no real noise, no real understanding, such a narrow regard. They don't know shit about what's happening in the world but as soon as they have the chance to go protest about something that they don't even really understand (teacher posts are being gotten rid of at the moment, but most kids jump on the opportunity to skip class before trying to understand the issue) they rush at it, because hey, it's something, and it isn't school

Also, there are contradictions in what I've written, but my livejournal's not high quality. I've become used to this, and I wrote this out in a very short space of time out of frustration and not out of reflection. Oops.

Thunder storms here too and it's so cold, argh.

I think there's also a problem in the way you're viewing it. You say yourself, it's 2008 and not 1968. Political apathy and a consumer society means that there won't be the grand protests of 1968 as seen in Paris or Africa. You also make out as though having material possessions is at odds with being politically active. It's not, so there's no reason for that criticism, as I see it. I know that the students are protesting about teachers and uni students about fees, since a few of my friends protested. However, I think the protests reflect today very well. Maybe it is an excuse to miss lessons, maybe that's the main reason, but it's a protest nonetheless. Today, the financial pressures are huge. Just looking at a tiny, tiny aspect of French

The same shit, only ten times worse. People tear apart revolutionary striped vests on their chests (рвут революционные тельняшки на груди) either for money, or because they are forced to, or because this process fills their inner voids at least with some, at least with temporarily sense. (Specification: the action is taking place within an area broadly known as "ukraine".)
And if I only had a mood/time to cover the "ten times worse" part, I guess you would be really amused, but I don't.
