A+

I constantly live in a love-hate relationship with French.

I love being able to (kinda) speak and understand another language, but I hate when I get D+'s on my exams. My relationship with the French language has always existed in this type of manner.

That's why today when he made us come up for the results of the placement test I was dumbfounded when he said..
"LG, LG.... A plus." I don't understand those words in French, "....quoi? Moi?" A+ didn't exist in my French vocabulary until today.


In other news, I have been summoned for jury duty. a;slknvewl;kfnjaorijno;ijo. They cannot force me to skip school, I'm paying good money to be in academia! I would not like to exchange that for sitting in a courtroom getting paid $12.50 per half day... I can't afford to miss a/several days if I intend to travel during the semester.

Seriously, sometimes this is a cruel, cruel world.

As I understand it, you are right when you say they cannot force you to skip school. Well, they can, but they probably won't, I think. My roomate a few years ago got jury duty and wrote them a letter and called them a lot and eventually got a student deferal.
