Ah, I'm doing yet another one of my double overnights at the desk (working from 12-4am.) It's not so bad really. It's about 1:50 right now, so only 2 hours to go.
Lots of drunk people tonight. It's pretty funny.
Inbetween surfin' da net I'm trying to read this novel we have to read for French. At first I was like "OK, I'm gonna translate it", then I realized that was more work than necessary, so I'm trying to get the gist of it, but I don't know, I'm not doing too well. It frustrates me so much...because I want to be good at it. Today some girl in class read off a poem at like lightning speed with no hestistation. It was beautiful. It's weird actually liking something, because it's harder to get discouraged. Normally I would be. Instead, I'm just frustrated.
My teacher says (TEACHER SAYS...) that it really is impossible to get the total hang of another language unless you live there and here it 24/7. Unfortunately the earliest that will happen is next summer, so until then, it's practice.
This is a dorky topic, but I don't think I can explain how happy I am to finally have it concerete that I'm majoring in French. I've always hated school...but doing something I want to do is amazing and new to me.
It smells weird down here. Pot? Probably. One of the RA's just called to ask who was on duty, all suspiscious-like.
I really want this break. To make the wait more excruciating, both English and Speech are cancelled on Friday. And I plan on skipping old history. Wednesdays are my off day, so I have 2 fucking classes standing between me and freedom. All I have to do is this outline for speech (maybe) and that fucking Humanities paper outline thing...no sweat, my pet. Who said that, Screech?
Fucking ineternet keeps restarting!
