Long Break Short...

It has been a while since my last post.

I think I have found direction for this blog. This one shall be my personal blog, where I write my happenings, thoughts, and feelings down.

I think I will drop french tomorrow. I am not getting any benefits out of it, (minor too far off, certificate too far off, major not going to happen), I have very little opportunity to think in french or practice speaking and grammar except in class, and I get my worst grades in it. All in all, a bad class to be taking.

However, I like french. I like being able to understand and communicate in a different language. It also helps my english skills. I would like to study abroad some day, perhaps do some research in France or something. At least be able to say I can speak another language sufficiently well on a resume. Also, I want french to be the starting block. I want to learn other languages after this.

So, in the spirit of all of this, I am going to ask the professor if I can sit in on the class. I can't audit as a Post Secondary kid, but I think she likes me, so she may let me sit in the class. This way I can come back and take it next year if I want to.

Other than that, Nick and I are swamped with problems of the same kind, Brock and I are swamped with problems of the same kind, and Halo maps come out tomorrow.

Goodnight.
Derek

I agree that you should drop french. I think that you're exaggerating on the bad grade part though. You probably have a "B", or at the very least a high "C", and even then I seriously doubt it. You have a knack for it and are very astute.

Anyway, at least you have people who can concur with you on things like this. Having your friends not only sympathize, but empathize is a very wonderful thing.

I shall talk to you later my friend, goodluck today...for your sake I hope she lets you sit in on her classes. *hugs*
