Am possibly on the final lap...
... of this trimester, that is. In all honesty, it actually went quite fast. But it was pretty intense, what with all the crazy language learning and whatnot. I can honestly say that I am a great deal more knowlegdable about all three of the languages I am studying at this date than I was when I started. I can make full sentences in Spanish, in past, present and future tenses. Two past tenses, even. And I've even got a hang of the gerand, too. Yayness! German... well, I can use the past tense. And the random structures of the different types of conjunctions. Still gotta get my head around the pure evilness of the subjunctive and adjectives, but all in good time. And I've even learnt stuff in French! I learnt how to use "dont" appropriately. And "ce dont". And I even learnt that up until 1981, the French used the guillotine to administer the death penalty. On October 9th, 1981, they abolished the death penalty in France completely, but they used the guillotine right up until then! Actually, I'm quite knowledgable about the guillotine now.
- A doctor invented and perfected it.
- Used during the French Revolution.
- The aim is for it to be quick and painless and easy. (Hmmm, I have a song called "Quick, Painless and Easy" on CD somewhere. It was a cool song.)
- Cut off the kings head. And his wifes. They seemed like silly people anyway.
I got to speak about the guillotine for 3 minutes in class the other week. That was exciting.
Anyway, what's coming up... Monday is my Spanish test. Straight after is my French expose. Yikes. Tuesday is my Spanish oral test. I have to read a little text thing. Wednesday I have a French test. Thursday I have a German test and another French test! It's all so exciting... then on Friday, I think I get my German test back at my tutorial. And we're all going out celebrating! It's going to be awesome fun... salsa, possibly karaoke, lots and lots of dancing... yay! This time next week I'll possibly be completely exhausted, but it'll be so worth it :). So bring on the week!
