Sea lo que sea
Done. It's finally over and I'm done. Until July 3rd, but I have a nice long stretch to relax and revise. I think the exam today went okay, I got some decent questions and though I had some trouble expressing what I wanted to say (I tend to get a bit flowery writing essays and it's difficult to phrase that correctly in spansih) so my syntax was probably all over the place, but I definately tried my hardest and did my best there.
The two exams yesterday however..were like hell.
Our theatre teacher gave us two text extracts from plays, fine that's normal, but he removed all the character's names and ALL THE STAGE DIRECTIONS! leaving a tiny dialogue extract, then wanted us to say which of the 9 plays it was from, and what country and what the political situation was etcetcetc. One of the extracts was three lines of speech. I wrote "Pues, yo no se, no hay bastante texto para elegir correctamente." I cannot be expected to memorise 9 plays in latin american dialects in 3 days. So I have failed and that teacher can go fuck himself.
Our french translation teacher hates me anyway so I'm sure that even if it had gone well I would fail. But the text to translate with a dictionary was miles long and took forever, the french (no offence) have some rather bizzare ways of saying things that are impossible to translate into spanish. And the text without a dictionary (that we apparently saw in class) was a disaster because it was the one text I didnt revise because it was the one text we didnt have to hand in.
But its over now. I can be ill in peace, finish reading Harry Potter 7 in spanish and pack to go home.
I would rather have a punctured lung, than waste my breath on you...
And now, by popular demand. Pictures. Sorry, they arent all that interesting because I havent been out and about really. Just a few sunsets and things.

thequestion:
The other SGUKers probably wouldn't even blink at me ripping off my clothes to do a dance routine but your friends and Mum maybe a little bemused.

I'm sure by the end of the evening they will have experienced a WHOLE NEW LEVEL of weirdness, we'll try and make it reasonably painless.
