I haven't been around for a few days thanks to French homework. I had to analyze a poem in French, and was supposed to create explanations for two others, memorize another, and prepare to read another expressively (though I'm marked on how well I read them all). I was given a week to prepare all that, but it's finally over (though I didn't finish everything I was supposed to do :P). And at the same time, I was given seven pages of Science homework.

All of the above was in French, of course, which increases the difficulty somewhat....

Doing the above homework reminded me of the line in Groundhog Day about studying 19th century French poetry, as I was doing just that. :P Until six months ago I never would have considered that I would possibly be stuck doing such a thing....

I didn't take French in school. I took Spanish for four years and I think I know less now than when I started. And in the time since I finished school I've lost what little knowledge about the Spanish language I ever had. I've never had an ear for languages. I barely speak fluent English :p
