Though I don't complain with where I live. I used to live near Marseille and Aix en Provence (it's in the South of the France) and there's litteraly nothing going on up there. No gigs, no music, nothing. Now I live in Lille (in the North of the France) and it's really better, there's a lot of gigs. Plus there's a really good public transport network so I don't need a car or whatever, I can take the subway and be in the city center in like 10 minutes, and do whatever I want, which is fine.

Shitty things go on everywhere. I just need a change of scenery. Or good public transport so I can go into LA without spending a fortune on gas, or needing a car.

The worst part is sitting through other people's presentation. Air-headed bitches doing a 6-8 minuter on fashion. FASHION!?! I wanted to drown myself with a bottle of water. And the ones about the fur trade and animal cruelty are almost as bad.

Oh, I know what you mean. It's so difficult to pick up a language later on. I've been trying to learn French for going on 6 years and I still can't speak it for shit. My comprehension is spot on, but I just can't get the pronunciation down.

You should hear this guy in my speech class talk about Star Wars. It isn't even the main three movies, not even the six theater releases. He just rambles into the plot summary of the countless books that are out there about other characters, and spin-offs and shit.

I took three years of Spanish (not that high school can really teach you a language well), and this is my first year without it. I've already forgotten so much.

Haha. I'm envisioning an uber nerd, but I can't say much because one of my best friends and I often do the same thing. She has a stack of Star Wars books taller than she is. At any time we could go into a 45-minute conversation about bounty hunters or Mon Cals and she totally pwns my ass on some little point every time.

I took the same in French. I learned quite a bit but lost a lot of it before I went to college. Now I've taken the equivalent of 5 semesters in only 3 and I'm finally able to understand the language. I am, however, hesitant to take the next class, which is focused on conversation, because I don't do well with off-the-cuff responses in French.

"fashion" summed up in 6 minutes? Too broad of a topic, the shits should be going on for hours about it if they didn't have a time limit! More like "Robert Smith's fashion style in relation to the 80's".

[Sonic Youth 37]

I could go on about that (though I'd wager that no one in my class knows who the hell Robert Smith is), but her presentation was trendy college whore fashion. Her creditability was that she worked this summer as a shopper for products at Neiman Marcus or some shit.

yuck. Reminds me of a project I saw by a classmate fratgirl on "GARAGE" jeans and how they make the 'booty look bigger'.

He's quite a character. He's a Jehova, and both his parents are deaf. I wanna know how deaf people get into Jehova's Witness stuff.

I mean, Star Wars is cool and all, and if you're really into that's great. Don't try to explain it all to people repeatedly who have no interest in it though. Of all the things you could choose...plus he's a terrible speaker.

In my three years of Spanish, I was able to read and write it pretty well, but I was definitely slow. I couldn't speak it quickly, and if I tried I made lots of errors. Listening as well, I was horrible.

Most (90%) of these fall into two categories: basically the Southern bastardized version of Valspeak and hick shit-kicker good ole'boy English. Honest to Bob, I had to sit through a book review on Tuesday where the guy actually presented his review with a dip in his mouth. I would have walked out had my being present not have been necessary for my grade.

[Alex's Trip]

Reminds me of my sweet, gorgeous, but clueless friend who was told to get pantyhose for her formal wear for a speech tournament...

She shows up in this really nice dress, but from bottom of it down...oh dear. She had these white fishnets, and these patent leather hooker heals. No one had the heart to tell her how awfully slutty it looked.

[Sonic Youth 37]

We actually had someone present to the class dressed in fishnets and hooker heels. Seriously, that class is a constant facepalm
