my computer seems to be having problems. its like it has a mind of its own; shutting down suddenly and restarting when i want it to shut down. is it mocking at me?? hate this computer.
yesterday was the last day of the semester. had my french oral and 204 test. did quite well for my french test. think oral should be fine too. though i made some mistakes and said places in english. my group had 3 persons so we took longer. it seemed like an eternity with never-ending questions. sometimes we had to continue our answer on that of the previous person's. she asked me why i liked singapore. didnt really have much choices of an answer left so i just made up something. vocab so limited. so glad no listening or i'll just miss out everything. but i'm quite relaxed about french cos i adopted a dont-really-care attitude. but it seems better. stress-free... not so for my core though. i hate studying for cell bio. someone help me~
this sem no one to study with me. and i'm feeling less motivated with each sem. dont really feel happy. felt left out from my usual group of friends this sem. maybe cos i'm always going for french during breaks. end up missing alot from their conversation topics. and they are all so smart. really cant catch up when they discuss school work so feel stressed around them sometimes. sometimes feel like i have nothing to say. sigh...i was hoping to get closer to one of them. maybe i think too much ba. now have to concentrate on studying. gambatte!

had my french role play last week. lucky to have role play instead of oral. just have to memorise the script. my script was quite short so i had no problem. hee... but i think all the groups didnt understand totally what everyone else was talking about. we're just performing for the teacher.
my friends always ask 'isnt it tough that u're taking french on top of ur core? french is so difficult...'. french is difficult but i still enjoy languages more than my core. languages are so fun to learn. besides, i've become used to the teaching style in french class. its different from japanese but both styles have their good points. i think i learn more vocab in french, verbs especially. the teacher always teach us extra things, sometimes from level 2. japanese class was more speed learning and conversation practice. can see the difference between french and japanese teachers too. the french are more easy-going with a better command of english. they enjoy the arts. japanese are more particular about puntuality and rules. always very polite. very interesting to learn all these.
oh yah, very excited. i met sijia in ntu. she's my primary school best friend. we chatted all the way home. so much to catch up on. victor is organising a class gathering at the end of the year to be held at our old classroom. isnt it cool if it can really take place?
