One of my other roommates has at least one fight a week with her boyfriend over the phone. He lives back in her hometown. It makes me sad. I asked her if she needed anything after their...thing over the phone...and she was all, "No, I'm just sick." These walls are paper thin.
Is this what happens when you're separated from your boyfriend? I hate fights. But I don't have a boyfriend, so maybe I shouldn't be worrying about this. For a while. Yeah...Let's change the subject!
I went to my French prof's advising hours to see exactly what classes I should take next semestre. There's a 205 (French Review) and 216. But 215 should be taken before 216, and 215 is only offered in Fall. Quite the conundrum. Or however you spell it. She leaves me in her office--the door wide open--and goes across the hall to these two other French professors. One of them I recognized her voice because I had her last year.
They start talking rapidly (in French, mais oui!) in hushed tones. I hear my name being repeated several times by both my current prof and my former prof. The other prof is like interjecting and agreeing. And all I could think was, "This is so cool! When will three French people ever mention my name and discuss my future? I wish I knew everything that they were saying. This is cinematic." I wish you could have seen my face while I was just sitting there in her office, listening to all that was happening outside.
Madame P. (my current prof) walks in and sits down behind her desk. She tells me that she was discussing with her collegues what would be the best plan for me. She says that I am in the top 10, no!, not top 10, top 5 students in her class. I smile, a bit embarrassed. Top 5, really? Yes, you are a good student. I blush. She tells me to take on 216 next semestre and 205. Will it be tough? Yes, but I think you can handle it. You will be ready for Paris. Paris?!?! Yes, Paris. It will be good for you.
I thank her profusely. She smiles back. You're welcome. I leave.
I am the happiest girl alive! Yay for studying what you love! It definitely pays off!
Woo-hoo tomorrow is December! Yay for Christmas!

haha. hopefully! it's my destiny to go there.
i'm only a good student because i'm passionate about the subject i guess, and i really want to know the language well.
sshh! don't tell people i'm filipino! haha. j/k. i think i already mentioned that i was filipino on this site. i only say that because sometimes people mistake me for other ethnicities, and it's really interesting to hear what they think i am.
haha. don't worry about it! it's just this dorky little experiment that i have going on.
Haha. You got filipino? That's so weird. I'll put up what people have mistaken me for in a post later on...after finals. Haha.
