Once again, Renegades proved that our collective intelligence modifier is something like -5. Except for the werewolf paladin, who has only been here for second semester and has grasped more of the plot than the rest of us combined. Such shame. I am shamed. And then I hit things, a lot, with mighty power and righteous annoyance and killed a ( Read more... )

French presentation went over fairly well, I think, I hope, and I'll see on Wednesday when I get my grade. Now I have to work on the second essay and correct the first one. Bleagh. Life is French ( Read more... )

So anyway, I completely failed the French speaking mentor meeting today. I had... nothing, and so she had nothing to work with. And she was kind of annoyed, which I understood completely, and I felt bad. But my brain's been feeling like rice pudding and I can't translate my thoughts about this poem properly into French, so I wrote down some ( Read more... )

It snowed when I walked back from the barn. Ugh. So I had dinner in Macgregor, which was good, and stole about five green tea teabags. Now I can drink tea. And I've discovered that the hot pot works faster in my room than in the kitchinette. Interesting. I can make myself lots of tea so I don't die during practice on Saturday ( Read more... )

So the French essay wasn't as dessicated as I'd feared. Actually, most of the corrections were grammatical, not content-ical (I just made up a word!), at least as far as I could make out from the scribbled notes. *peers* Perhaps the writing mentor will explain it better tomorrow when I see her. 3:50pm, 227 Ciruti. Must remember. Oh, and ( Read more... )

Soooooo I didn't go to the party after all, because I am a lazy, anti-social bum. It is also cold and snowing and that makes me unhappy when I have to walk through it late at night. [/whine] Instead of doing anything useful, I had lunch at NoHo and looked through Faces. They have interesting skirts. And then I had a giant lump of pasta with ( Read more... )

I now have an orchid! It is small and pink and quite cheerful looking. I feel happier now, and my essay is proceeding quite nicely. Who knew I was fairly proficient in another language? I didn't. I am now almost finished with body paragraph two, and will move on to #3 later tonight. Then finish it tomorrow, hopefully before Astronomy ( Read more... )

I find it promising to note that I don't have to consult the French-English dictionary every third word of my essay. This is good. This means I have learned enough that I don't have to translate all the words in my head. This means I am not thinking all in English, then trying to write it out in French. ^.^ On the other hand, I am having ( Read more... )
