Parlez vous Francais? Merde non!!!

As my intellect deteriorates from odd sleeping schedules and lack of forced writing, I make a last ditch effort to salvage what ever knowledge I am yet to lose. Funny how utterly idiotic an educated girl can get when not participating in a structured school curriculum for a short amount of time.

I am trying to engage my brain by using BBC 's language site to improve my minimal French. 'Ma France' is a site which has a map of different themed videos one watches and answers quiz's on at the end of each. After surpassing the units; " Directions , Languages, Shopping, Work, and Arrangements" I am currently on the unit "Kids and Pets" which may never be of any use to me but who knows.

It's a good site but I'm not sure any of the vocabulary is sticking in my head. Which worries me because I have my mind set on taking university French when I was barely able to finish grade 11 French. Only passing with a 60% which took excruciating effort even with an easy teacher and a helpful friend/tutor who was the only reason I got through the oral exam. Ridiculous, the standards I set for myself. Reminiscent of forcing myself to take grade 11 math when I could have been excused under my own false pretext that " I could do it if only I would work harder". That year I worked harder and only passed on the mark with a 50%- again with excruciating effort, feeling like the class dunce. I should have taken general in grade 11 and 12 but I had my head in the clouds and pride that wouldn't be broken. Sometimes I can barely believe how foolish I really can be, but I suppose it's good for my over all being. Keeps my modesty in tact and at my top game.
