phew... two long tiring days in a row and another one lined up tomorrow. 5 hours straight of class with no breaks whatsoever. [ i don't know why these 2 lecturers don't believe in giving us breaks.. *sigh*] which means running on practically an empty stomach for most of the day. and yes, food is important to me.
Had a pretty good day today, tho' marketing was spastic cuz he was going through the notes from last week for almost an hour and a half [ notes that i did not bring ] and only touched on this week's lesson for like, ten very rushed through minutes. oh well, least french was great. Learning a new language is fun, even if it means a lot of work. but this new tutor of mine is so sweet. she just is. she's one of those who look tall and big, but is really a little person inside. perhaps the only reason i get that impression is because she hunches her shoulders downward when she laughs and she laughs A LOT. it turns her whole face red.
But anyway, it was all good fun today because i've learnt the past week how to count from 0-20 in french. [zero,un,doux,trois,quatre,cinq,six,sept,huit,neuf,dix,onze,douze,treize,quatorze,quinze,seize,dix-sept,dix-huit,dix-neuf,vingt -- go figure out how to pronounce it yerself, just know that nothing is pronounced as it looks.] yup, and with this we played bingo in french. it wasn't the game that was fun, it was trying to decipher what number was being called out that was real fun. heh. you could see everyone's puzzled look until some genius translates it in english. its cool, i would recommend french. um, at least at this stage its still do-able.
just realised what gems my friends are... this sweet friend of mine asked me yesterday about my um, previous probably uncalled for rant. i didn't tell her very much not because i didn't want to, but simply because i'd wanted to forget about it, and it was over anyway. she was so sweet and didn't press me for details or anything, just asked basic things bout her and made sure i was okay. and i realised a lot of my friends are like that, they'll always make sure i'm doin okay.
friend: do i know who you're ranting about?
me: nah... you don't know her, just this girl i got to know.
friend: oh darn, then i can't be angry about it with you.
me: [ big sense of comfort, and a very thankful smile]
