That's right. I'm almost home free. I have one exam left. Despite the faculty making a rather horrific decision for me, I have almost made it. I'm almost there. I can taste the student debt quickly coming on!!!
The faculty undergrad head suggested that, as five courses in French at once is rather difficult (think it's hard studying, try a second language!) to begin, she didn't suggest any courses with "heavy reading".
Much to my dismay, this ended up resulting in a very heavy linguistics load and a ridiculous amount of history. I just don't get it. WHY ON GOD'S GREEN EARTH would you EVER want to memorize random history facts? Why not just look the information up. History doesn't go away, people! Anyway, I've never been good at it (if you haven't already guessed), so it has ended up being a hellish year for me. I've still, by some miracle, managed to keep my B average.
To top it all off, there's tomorrow's exam... in 12 hours. I have done research and readings, but now must "study" for it. The undergrad head failed to tell me that I would have to write a general exam. "Tu ne peux pas étudier pour l'examen." Like hell. I now HAVE to study for this exam. It's not just a matter of "not being able to" as she suggested. I checked past year's exams, only to find out that all of the questions consist of (you guessed it) litterature, of which I've only read a very limited number of works. So I've been looking up 17th and 18th century litterature... talking about the philosophy, and history (aha! well, it did come in a tiny bit handy), and reading online critiques.
I think I'm going to be okay. I only need a fifty on this. The exams I have next week (because I've been working my ass off) are already a sure thing. All I need tomorrow is my five-oh (and go!).
