Let me just say...having two classes with the same professor on the same day is semi-maddening because it means both of my midterms are due on the same day and I still owe her stuff. I will be writing and reading for this woman FO-EH-VAH!! Holy bob.

I do like the class material though.

I have seen two movies with this guy in them now and I must say he is pretty darn cool. I think I may be a fan. Gerard Depardieu rocks my socks as Arnaud de Tihl in Le Retour de Martin Guerre and Toussaint Mahue in Germinal and apparently he was in Paris, je t'aime as well. I must re-watch that and find him. I kind of love this guy now. He is a seriously kick ass actor.

Thank you history class.

I feel like I am learning two languages at once sort of. Ben=mundo lover of French. History professor=specialized in French. Me=has watched three French films in the past two months.

Spanish is cool and all but French seems to be trying to invade me. Agh....Language confusion. I must make it a point to try and watch Spanish films now and so that I may actually become proficient at that language or not flounder in it so much. I think as far as pronunciation goes I am getting it more in Spanish and things here and there. I still suck major on quizzes but I am kind of getting it. I like the flow of it and the sound. But I am catching on to French at the same time. I have no gift for languages but I am kind of getting them.

The more you learn another language the more you realized how little sense English makes. Like, what the fuzzle, yo? I mean the only thing that seems outright wonky to me about Spanish/French/German, etc... is the gendering of words. That has to make gender studies so weird to talk about in those countries when the language itself has a gender divide. I mean it probably makes sense to the speakers but the idea of just assigning a gender to most words is so STRANGE!!!

Anyhoo, I just felt like droppin' some lines before dinner before I plunge in to my write-a-paper-thon.
Peace.
