Le Francais, S'il Vous Plait - 8.30.2011

I woke up this morning and emailed the head of the language department for my school system, just because I wanted him to get an email from 2am his time.

He never responded to my first email about when I would take my French exam, so that was what my query was. Turns out, my test is on Thursdau. That is, September 1st.

Crapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrapcrap.

Not that I haven't studied. I've studied like a boss. I know everything on the list. I'm just worried. But before I worry more about French, let's talk about today.

Around noon we went to this store that was basically what would have been the product of Target and Cosco (Costco?) having a baby, only instead of picking and choosing the genes, they just combined into a massive store with the genes of both parents. It was quite a boss place. I got myself a planner for 9th grade, because while the Middle School gives you assignment books (basically planners), the High School doesn't. And without a concrete log of my assignments (and whether or not I've done them), I would have regular panic attacks. In fact, even with my planner, I sometimes freak out over not handing things in I handed in days ago.

I also bought a lot of candy. I dearly hope the airport security won't stop me because most of my carry-on is candy. It was all too heavy to put in my suitcase. q.q

Thennnn...we came home and I killed some time on the internet and then we ate. I love the internet, did you know? I was quite happy today, just being on the internet. :D

More internet, more internet, found out about French test, procrastinated on internet while occasionally studying.

My mom and I walked to Aldi at one point, where she bought some chocolate.

And that was basically it. More internet and studying. I also finished Drop Shot by Harlan Colban. I hope that's his name. I already packed the book, and I'm too lazy to Google it. It was a fairly good book. Not excellent like Hour Game. I think I prefer serial killer books to one-or-two-murder books. Just more interesting, I guess. This one had it's share of events, but it dragged for me in a lot of places. Also, it wasn't well edited. I found a handful of typos and things, which was annoying to me. When I post a chapter on fanfiction and it has an error or two, that's fine, because I'm one person who edited it, and it also isn't a concrete thing--I can change it and replace the chapter with the edited one. But when multiple people read over a work and then publish it on paper and can't change it anymore and there are errors, that doesn't fly with me.

So, now for my French panic attack. Excuse me while I go through my list with you to make sure I know things. There are no accents on words; I apologise, but I can't go looking up every symbol and I don't know the shortcuts.
