Mid terms

I'm on exams guys ! I'll get back to you between two oral exam and an informatics test

Yeah I started working on my school courses about 3 hours ago, and I'll nail the tests, promise ;-)

As always , RL comes first. Good luck and study well!

Alright I just pissed myself laughing with my Spanish exam, I slept half the time and had lulz the other half ;-)

I've got an hour to kill and since my next exam is the English one I'll practice !

\o/

Donde es el bano? (don't know how to make the little ~ above the n.)

¿Dónde está el baño?

:-)

Got English exam in about 15 min, still waiting on the teachers and the other students :-p
Contraction, yeaaaahh !

She's, he's, I'll, won't, shouldn't, should've, etc, etc. No, English isn't confusing at all. Hope you do did well on your test.

Yeah i did, thanks ! But not that kind of contractions ;-) it's contraction as to make a long text short without changing its tenses, meaning and author's point of view

Thou meanst a summary?

Damn, summaries are boring. Boo-ring. Boooooooo-riiiiing. I have to do one in every test I do, not only English and German, and it's boring me to tears. (Okay, in every test but math tests, but that would border on torture, anyway. I don't speak numbers. w00t!)

Well it's not exactly a summary per se, it's a real vocabulary exercice and everything and you have to match a certain number of words ^^

(I prefer both Theme and Version tests - to translate from one language to the other or the other way around).

Maths are EASY \o/
When you'll have LAW (and order) courses, you'll wish you had maths instead, even in a university curriculum !

Math?!
*Hisses*
Loath them!

I hope you decimated your tests with your amazing linguistic abilities! O:

...I am old and long since out of school. Not to say I am not "schooled" frequently...

Attention people !
Attention people !

If there is going to be a tramway accident, it's going to happen to the tramway you are riding to go to your English civilization exam. And you are going to walk 4 miles running to try and get on time.

Your tram was really in an accident on the way to your exam?

Were you able to make it? DD:

Yes it was ! I didn't made it but they let me in anyway since I wasn't alone (only tram that get students from Bordeaux to my university, plus they began late too and they knew there was an accident)

By the way, the tram ALWAYS win. Even against a SUV. People should not try to beat the tram, it will always win no matter what !

I hope I didn't botch it too much (can't study while running !)

LOL! Tsk! The studying should have been done the night before.

(Just kidding... I did 90% of my studying right before an exam... short term memory for the win! Now if I could only remember any of the stuff I learned back then).

I didn't even set foot in class this semester ;-)
Seriously I have no long term memory except for useless stuff ^^

But again I'm on applied foreign languages. You either know or don't know :-)

I'm a bit jealous of your linguistic wizardry. xD

Thank you ^^

Now I'm waiting on the informatics exam.
Well informatics as in "can you send an email and work a small text on ms word ?".
I've had had harder informatics exams back when I was in midde school -_-

My girlfriend is having similar frustrations with her advanced spanish class. Her highschool teacher was much tougher with drawing out a more exacting connection between thought and speech than her current professor is.

I'm betting you are/were bored out of your mind. XD

Well our professors weren't tough, but what are you going to teach an "educated" 20 year old with a normal scolarity how to email people and write a text on word.. in the second year of university Oo

They made me woke up at 7:15 for THAT.. at least, the Law test was given at a decent hour

Ah, I see. The redundancy is apparent.

...7:15!? Ew. < .<

I mean, I'm up early, it's nearly 6 in the morning where I am now, but I don't like to have to show up places until 8 or so in the morning. XD

lol did the email/word writing in third grade (and sixth and now in first grade at collage, hope that's where you study when you'r 16-18) they newer think that you are able to use a computer when you have used one from age 4

I think it's just to cover in case some people were privately tutored their whole academic careers, but just so happened to have never seen a computer before entering college. That happens with some people.

It happens rarely enough to make it extremely annoying, if not downright condescending, to be lumped in with a general assumption that you have never seen any form of computer or computer program before to the extreme-majority of learners who are already adept with computers, but still.

Wow, I'm word-y. Sorry. < .<;

The only thing I hate, though, is when they are teaching from some sort of manual, and they absolutely insist on you taking a specific order with running something, even if you are already efficient enough. xDD
