Insanity. Today was the day of my placement exam so naturally I couldn't sleep last night and was tired. So obviously I downed a bunch of coffee and became super jittery during the test. Thus is nature. The written and comprehension sections of the test went smoothly enough but then comes along the oral part.
What's so bad about conversational French you may ask? Well, nothing. Unless, of course, you accidentally unknowingly skipped a professors class (a class which you didn't know you were enrolled in) two weeks in a row and that same angry professor is the one giving you your oral exam. Boom. Atomic bomb on my oral section of the exam. The teacher basically took the time to berate me and I was so flustered that speaking (which is actually a strong point for me in French) became a weakness and I devolved into a stuttering nervous mess. After promising the teacher I would go to her class tonight, she took the oral test prompt out of my hand and dismissed me. Yup. So, lesson learned. Although the French are notoriously late for everything and anything they take grave offense if you miss their class even though you attempt to explain the honest mistake. But on the up and up, it's finally turning into fall weather! :D
Five Hours Later: I went to the class and managed to get out of it so yay! Also, during the class I got to see some friends who I haven't seen in about 2 weeks so I actually enjoyed it. Tomorrow the first day of real classes begin so wish me luck and hey! Even if I break a bone, I have so much health insurance, it'd be almost worth it! Good night everyone:) I hope y'all are doing great!
