Urgh, French. Took it for ten years. Learned absolutely nothing except:

"Madame, je voudrais aller au toilet."
"Madame, je voudrais boire."
"Madame, je ne comprende pas."
"Madame, je voudrais manger."
"Pardon, Madame, je ne fais pas mon devoir."
"Madame, Mohamed's giant ***ing head is blocking the ****ing blackboard."

I don't have homework. I use the word homework...but it is not.

I am moving schools...and my new school does not teach Italian (my language of choice) so I have to learn some basic French so I can pick it up when I start there in 2 and a bit weeks. Luckily it is similar to Italian...

How come you are moving?

In WA, we have Primary school and Secondary school. Except that that American trend of having middle schools has sort of come in. So some schools, which previously only did Primary, are doing middle school as well...and then, the students of said middle school (which was really good and i enjoyed) have to go to new schools halfway through Secondary School...and become New Kids...

As I have said many times...The WA Education system is f***ed up. I am not saying that kids are not stupid. We are actually quite smart (pleas not ask why our NAPLAN results are lower then...there is a complicated reason) but the system of years, grades, cut off dates and the subject of if we have 2 types of schools or 3...

Because our year system is different to the eastern states of Australia. Which means that in term 2, students are being tested on what they are going to learn later that year...and historically, WA has never been good at spelling...but thanks to spell check...we are good now!

That was the simplified version...

You don't have too, but I'd be interested in the complicated version.

It is basically that, with the cut off dates story chucked in (PLEASE! Don't ask me to explain that...)

i thought you have already finished school pedro?
in my primary school i had to do italin but when i got to secondry school i had alot of choice between, modern greek, french, german, italian or japanese. since german, french and ialian looked too easy, i chose to do jap grin its a little hard, but i love it. which is strange for me cos if i dont ace a subject, i usually hate it......

A lot of newbies seen to think that I am older than I am...but I am still at school, and still have a few years left!

I would have liked to learn Japanese...It seems cool, but hard too...
