Sending a text didn’t even occur to me.
We just received our second midterms in class today.
With the two-point curve: 99.5%
Without it: 97.5%
On paper, I’m the ideal French student.
In practice, it’s gross.
The well-rounded Frenchie should be able to listen, write, and speak proficiently.
I can do one of those things moderately well.
But that’s because I’ve practiced a long time in English.
The listening carries over – I have to focus in French as much as in English. I’m lost otherwise.
The speaking – well, I don’t talk a lot in English, so I expect my talking to be pretty crappy.
The grade’s exciting though, eh?
A Little Thinking 
Way to be an ideal French student on paper! 🙂
I used to be really jealous of people who could speak Japanese quickly, and I made goals to be able to speak faster. Then I remembered that I don’t even speak fast in English. I don’t think I can speak that fast in either (or maybe any) language.
