yubsieToday was another fun adventure in trying to remember what LANGUAGE I'm supposed to be speaking. There were a lot of long awkward pauses in my self introduction because "Watashi no namae wa Margaret desu. Watashi wa kanada-jin desu. Watashi wa Mount Allison daigaku no gakusei desu." is definitely NOT the same thing as "Ich heisse Margaret. Ich studiere Chimie an Mount Allison. Ich komme aus Riverview." (Apologies to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ravenclaw_devi as I am fairly sure I just hurt her poor language :p) I suppose it's good that I didn't blank to the point that I was trying to say "Je m'appelle Margaret. Je suis une étudiante a l'université Mount Allison. Je suis Canadienne." (I MAKE NO APOLOGIES FOR MY LAZINESS ABOUT LOOKING UP SPELLING! :p)
So yeah, my brain works somewhat oddly, that I'll try to say it in German before French. I think it's because I have to THINK about German, while French I can just SPEAK, so I only lapse into French if I'm drawing a TOTAL blank on the word. :p
Can you tell I'm killing time between Japanese and Spectroscopy? :p
(Icon vaguely appropriate but mostly used because it's new and I haven't made a post with it yet. :p)

Date: 2006-09-19 03:17 am (UTC)I'm in a French conversation class right now, but since I'm a lazy bum I haven't really been studying the "new vocab." And whenever we have to discuss an issue with a classmate I just talk with my friend Grace about other stuff. Mon prof ne sais pas que je ne reste rien à la matière!
