Any plans for Valentine's Day?

I’m going to spend Valentine’s Day studying for finals which start the next Monday… 😕

Definitely not the most fun Valentine’s Day activity — but good luck on the finals! 🙂

What classes are you taking right now?

[Maria]

Thanks mimi – I’m gonna need it. The classes I’m studying for are French, German lit, English (hah!), math, geography and economics. Economics and English are my best subjects; I’m worried about math and French. I hate math per se because I have no use for it. I do like French a lot; my French teacher will be the one thing I miss when I finish this school. But while I can converse with people and read French books with little trouble, I’ve found that the test environment steals my vocabulary. I’ve gotten over being worried about tests, but my French is a problem anyway.

I bet your French final will be fine — though I know what you mean about the effect of the test environment! 🙂

Thanks, DM and Ski. That helps, because I’m not too sure French will be fine. In November we had trial test, school internal, to prepare for the federal finals. On a scale of 1-6 (worst to best) I got a 3 in French. 4 is the minimum passing grade. Sheesh, I even did better in math! I’m trying to watch a lot of French movies because I think the main thing I’m lacking is a smooth understanding of the spoken language.
Oh well. The upside is I can have a maximum total of 7 negative points and those were reserved from the beginning for math and French. 😀

Well at least you have a plan 😆 I still think you will be fine, though.

[Maria]

Sure, I’ll be fine. But my French score will be the pits. But I don’t care what the paper says anyway. I learned enough French to converse and read in. That’s plenty good enough. 😆

[Starbreeze]

Good luck GB!!! I know you’ll do well!!!

[Maria]

😆 With so much good luck from all of you I guess I won’t be able to help doing fine!

Aww, GB, I’m so jealous of your advanced french skills. I studied it 6 years (would be 7 if they hadn’t cancelled the class this semester!!!) And YOU get to actually use it. I rarely run into Francophones, although I know they’re here in the wood works somewhere. A boy in my Astronomy class came up to me the other day and just started talking French. I always get *so* excited that I start sweating and forget everything. 😳 German lit…is the class IN german? Or just publications written BY germans? I’d love to take a lit class other than English or Brittish…French or Sweedish or Norweigan, Scottish….ANYTHING different. I hate how secondary languages aren’t mandatory in america. If the rest of the world knows more than one or two, we should too! Anyway…

For V-Day…my boyfriend is in El Paso at Ft.Bliss 😥 …its a Wednesday, so I’ll be getting up early, going to classes, coming home, going to work, and…well thats about as far as I’d planned.

My sister speaks French fluently. I wish I had started Sapnish in 7th grade like she did. She has also lived in Quebec and France so she has had a lot of uses for it. I agree a 2nd language should be manditory
