Officially Flipping Out

Hey...

So I just got an e-mail telling me that my transcripts (as they stand) were transferred to U of C today. I did really badly on my diplomas, and I'm currently .75% under the minimum entrance percentage for the English programme. The only thing that might save me here is the fact that I'm in full IB and I have to wait for my marks to come in July. That should save me. I hope. *cries silently in the corner*

Otherwise... I had the drive to write, like, an hour and a half ago but I decided to shower first and I think I washed the inspiration away :( Oh well... I have a better drive to write when I write by hand, but I write more and faster on the computer. I don't know why.

I had a practice oral exam for French this afternoon, which went quite well. The picture I had to describe went smoothly, I was 5 seconds under the time but I BS'd a sentence that filled the time quite nicely. Then the back and forth questioning went quite well, that part went for about 7 1/2 minutes, and I did really well. It's kind of an on the spot interview, and I love doing those! I was tickled to figure out that I can do it in French as well.

I'm not planning on continuing French after high school. I will be switching to German first year! I'm really excited about this because I love the language and I AM German so I want to learn the tongue so I can travel to Germany one day (and stalk Martin Goers, but that's a story for another day :P).

That's all for today, I may or may not post something tomorrow, I'll be out all evening at a friend's house... playing D&D. Yeah. Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrd. I know.

Tschüs!

(P.S. The story I wrote for the Figment "Extraordinary" Contest went through! I'm hoping I get enough votes to win... it's a $35 gift card for ThinkGeek.com. I officially love this website...)
