I think I'm gonna make a small guide this afternoon, just to make sure I check everything again and of course, to study the bloody kanjis that I hate so much.
My brother is back and he got a game called "My Japanese coach" it's great and it's funny... but the bloody machine won't give me more levels so I'm stuck at lesson 12... and I already know everything. We haven't even started in kanjis yet, that's boring.
I got many, many mangas. Lots of "Death Note" plus "Death Note 13" with a beautiful L card with his real name printed on it. It's so lovely, and of course it has everything you possibly would like to know about the manga. It's adorable.
I also got Ceres 1, its' been a while since I read the manga, and I don't remember much anymore, I just remember I liked the story, it was nice and really crazy. Very Japanese like style.
What else? Oh yeah, my brother bought me a new Terry Pratchett book, it's called "Thief of time" and it looks incredible.
He also got me many note pads, notebooks and stuff. I got a big stuff rabbit. Alice's rabbit, from "Alice in wonderland". He is just adorable, the most lovable bunny I've ever seen, I'll take a picture this weekend and put it up if I have the time.
And that's it. I'm at school, in French class (supposedly) and it's raining. The light went out much earlier and I couldn't see a thing in my Japanese class.
Lovely weather...
__________________
Mañana tengo mi examen de japonés (hace tiempo que no hago uno). Esta vez cubrimos 5 lecciones lo cual significa más cosas para aprender. Demonios.
Creo que voy a hacer una pequeña guía en la tarde, tan sólo para asegurarme de checar todo y por supuesto, de estudiar los malditos kanjis, esos que tanto odio.
Mi hermano está de regreso y trajo un juego llamado "My Japanese coach" es genial y es muy divertido, pero la maldita máquina no me deja avanzar mas niveles, así que por lo pronto estoy estancada en la lección 12... y lo malo es que ya me sé todo. No hemos visto kanjis siquiera y me aburre.
Me trajo muchos mangas, mucho "Death Note" y "Death Note 13" que viene con una hermosa tarjeta de L con su verdadero nombre impreso arriba de él. Está genial y por supuesto trae todo lo que uno quisiera saber sobre el manga. Es genial.
También conseguí Ceres 1, hace mucho que no leo el manga y ya no me acuerdo de muchas cosas, sólo recuerdo que me gustó la historia, que estaba bien y que era una locura impresionante, muy a lo japonés.
¿Qué más? Ah si, mi hermano me consiguió un nuevo libro de Terry Pratchett, se llama "Thief of time" y se ve genial.
También me trajo libretas, cuadernitos y cosas. Me trajo un conejo enorme, el conejo de "Alicia en el país de las maravillas". Se ve tan tierno, el conejo más adorable que he visto en mi vida, le tomaré unas fotos el fin de semana y a ver si me da tiempo de subirlas.
Y eso es todo, estoy en la escuela en clase de francés (supuestamente) y está lloviendo. La luz se fue desde temprano y no podía ver nada en mi clase de japonés.
Un clima tan agradable...

Good thing is I'm about to finish, I just need to look up some words and that's it, I'll go and do something else.
Yesterday I saw "Le placard" with Gerard Depardieu and Daniel Auteuil. It's so funny ^^, they are such great actors.
And today my mum invited me a pizza so we went out, it was really delicious, I love pizza (although, not on an every day basis).
What else?
I had a translation exam last wednesday I think. Everything was ok until the Internet died (and of course, all of my classmate including myself yelled like crazy people, because we were looking up the words on-line...)
That wasn't funny, but I think that, all in all, it was ok.
Tomorrow I'm gonna have to stay longer to start checking my final paper with my semantics teacher.
And I just finished reading "The seventh unicorn". It's a lovely book ^^.
That's it.

On happier news. I finished with Arsène Lupin's adventures.
I LOVE IT.
He's so great, just as great as Sherlock Holmes, although both are really different. Now I want all his novels to read them.
I need to go to the book store to see if they actually have them, otherwise I have no idea what to do.
That's it people.
I can't think straight anymore.

Es tan genial, tanto como Sherlock Holmes, aunque ambos son diferentes. Ahora quiero todas sus novelas para poder leerlas.
Necesito ir a la librería para ver si los tienen, si no, no tengo idea de que hacer.
Eso es todo gente.

That means I've been writing again (thank God), and it feels so nice. I've missed it so much.
Sometimes I seem to forget that writing is like food to my soul, I need to do it, otherwise I tend to be in a some sort of bad mood.
Because I remember when, in secondary school, I had this mini blocks and actually wrote 18 on those with just one story, the biggest one I have... and the messiest and most incomprehensible also. I think I'm the only person who can actually follow it. And, in an 80% my cousin.
But that's not the case, I used to write in school a lot, I stopped when I entered university and now I was going nuts. So I took one of my notebooks, my random notes with ideas that pop out of nowhere (that's not true, they actually pop out of experience or things I see...) and I've been writing.
Not that this interests anybody anyway.
What else?
I've been doing some excercise... my legs hurt like hell. I hope the pain will eventually go away.
The quarter is almos done, I'm freaking out because I can barely believe I've been there a year.
And...
Tomorrow I'm going to meet with a friend of mine for some coffe. So it should be a good day.
That's it people.
I'm going to sleep.

Osease que estoy escribiendo de nuevo (gracias Dios), y se siente tan bien. Ya lo extrañaba.
Algunas veces parezco olvidar que escribir es como comida para mi alma, necesito hacerlo, de lo contrario me pongo de un humor bastante particular.
Porque, recuedo que cuando estaba en secundaria, tenía unos mini blocks y de hecho me chuté 18 con una sola historia. La mas grande que tengo... y también la más caótica e incomprensible. Creo que la única persona que puede seguirla soy yo, y en uno 80% mi prima.
Pero ese no es el caso, solía escribir mucho en la escuela, y me detuve cuando entré a la universidad y ahora me estoy volviendo loca. Así que agarré uno de mis cuadernos, mis notas varias con las ideas que me vienen de la nada (eso no es verdad, me vienen de la experiencia o de las cosas que veo)... y he estado escribiendo.
No que esto le interese a nadie.
¿Qué más?
He estado haciendo ejercicio... mis piernas me están en un grito. Espero que el dolor se vaya con el tiempo.
El cuatrimestre casi se acaba, y me estoy volviendo loca porque apenas puedo creer que he estado ahí un año ya.
Y...
Mañana me voy a ver con una amiga para tomar café. Así que debe ser un buen día.
Eso es todo gente.
Me voy a dormir.

And that's as far as I dare go, I can actually write a bit more, but with a lot of mistakes due to declinations.
So...
Thank God is Friday ^^, I still have to do some homework but well, I'll do it later.
I've finished the "Wizard of Oz". All the 4 books. They're so sweet and nice. I love them.
I'm done with "The Historian" too, although I don't remember if I put it here.
And now, finally, after so many months... I'm half way through "Lasher".
And, as usual with Anne Rice's books, the good stuff begins half way trough, all the beginning tends to be just... nonsene and things that you honestly do not need to now.
Anyway.
I'm going.
I have nothing to say really, I'm just idle.

(Maybe I'm exagerating, I don't hate it, just the grammar... and orthography...)
I have new teacher now, she's French, but she's very nice to us. She doesn't yell that much.
She told us to write up our projects for the future for tomorrow.
And that she wanted a well structured paper, not something from basic level.
Although we're still pretty basic, not that much... but well... we're not perfect yet.
So... I need to think this over, because I wrote up something and only turned to be about 10 lines long.
Too short.
I need to make it longer and more descriptive.
Or she's gonna murder me.
____________________
Tengo que escribir en Francés... ¿ya he mencionado cuando odio el Francés en estos momentos?
(Okey, tal vez esté exagerando, no lo odio, sólo la gramática... y la ortografía...)
Tengo una maestra nueva ahora, es francesa, pero es muy amable con nosotros. Y no grita tanto.
Nos dijo que escribieramos nuestros proyectos a futuro para mañana.
Y que quería un papel bien estructurado, no algo de básico.
Aunque aún estamos un poco bajos, no tanto... pero bueno... todavía no somos perfectos.
Así que... necesito pensarmelo, porque escribí algo y resultó ser de unas 10 líneas.
Demasiado corto.
Tengo que hacer algo más largo y más descriptivo.
O me va a matar.

Je doit écrire en francais... J'avais dit déjà que je déteste beaucoup le francais maintenant?

J'ai une nouvelle proffeseur maintenant, elle est francaise, mais elle est très aimable avec nous. Et elle ne crie pas beaucoup.
Elle nous a dit qu'on doit faire un écrit avec nos projets pour le futur, pour demain.
Et elle veut un papier bien structure, pas de niveaux basique.
Bien que nous sommes d'un niveau basique encore, bon pas beaucoup... mais... nous ne sommes pas parfaits encore.
Donc... je doit penser bien, parce que j'ai écrit quelque chose, mais sulement de 10 lignes.
Très court.
Je doit faire quelque chose plus longue... et descriptif.

Ok, I passed French, and I'm pretty sure I passed German as well.
But... my God... my writting is really bad, in French I mean.
I hate French.
I've never liked it, and now is sure I won't like it anymore than I did before.
I really need to do something to improve it, otherwise I'm gonna fail as I keep going further and further.
So... I need to write in French.
Maybe I'll send e-mails to my ex-boss, she knows French, maybe she can help out with the writting part.
I hope so.
Well, gotta go.
I'm going to drink something with my mum 'cause I have about 2 hours free.
Be happy.
________________
Okey, pasé Francés, y estoy segura de que pasé Alemán también.
Pero... Dios mío... mi escritura está mal, en Francés vamos.
Odio el Francés.
Nunca me ha gustado, y ahora es seguro que no me va a gustar más que antes.
De verdad necesito hacer algo para mejorarlo, de lo contrario, voy a reprobar conforme siga avanzando.
Así que... necesito escribir en Francés.
Tal vez le mande e-mails a mi ex-jefa, ella sabe Francés, tal vez me pueda ayudar con la escritura.
Espero.
Bueno, debo irme.
Voy a tomarme algo con mi madre, porque tengo como 2 horas libres.
Sean felices.

And I just realised how much I hate French... so much, I think German is not that bad. Maybe is just temporal.
Ok, a few updates in my life.
I'm almost done with "The Historian", it's really good ^^.
I just started the last book of Oz.
I went to the Auditorio Nacional to buy some books ^^. Really good prices actually, very cheap. I got:
-"Hoot"
-"Codex"
-"The false pligrims"
-"The blood of God"
-"Art and Architecture of Rome"
So it was really worth it, but the trip was long, I almost crossed a whole line of the tube.
I saw Carmina Burana in Bellas Artes. It was so beautiful, so really lovely that I could see it every year, sadly I have no money and I would like to see the Sleeping Beauty too.
That's it.

Tengo exámenes de nuevo, ¿cómo es eso posible?
Y acabo de darme cuenta de lo mucho que odio el Francés... mucho. Creo que Alemán no está tan mal. Tal vez sólo sea tempora.
Okey, noticias de mi vida.
Ya casi termino con "La Historiadora". Está muy bueno ^^.
Acabo de empezar el último libro de Oz.
Fuí al Auditorio Nacional a comprar libros (había remate) ^^. Muy buenos precios en verdad, barato. Conseguí:
--"S.O.S. la odisea de los búhos"
-"El códice secreto"
-"Los falsos peregrinos"
-"La sangre de Dios"
-"Arte y arquitectura de Roma"
Así que el viaje valió la pena, pero fue largo, casi me avente una línea entera del metro.
Fui a ver Carmina Burana en Bellas Artes. Fue tan hermoso, tan bello que podría verlo cada año, lamentablemente no tengo dinero, y también quiero ver la Bella Durmiente.
Eso es todo.

Anyway, I'm happy, I was really hoping for this, mainly 'coz lately it's been more difficult for me to pass and study, to many things to do.
But at least, this actually proved that I can handle 3 languages, no problem. I just need so study a bit more, not even 3 hours, one is more than enough.
And study kanjis. Those are my biggest problem
Well...
In other topics... I have a exam on monday, but is no regular exam. No...
It's a bl*st*d rally. With clues and everything. So that means, we're gonna be running around the school for 2 whole hours, trying to decipher something.
And also, I've been trying to get a job >_<. Mostly because it's really good for a CV, and also because many teachers told us we need to start practicing somehow.
So... I'll be making some calls next week. See if something sticks.
Have a nice weekend.
________________
Pasé mi examen de japonés, así que ahora estoy en Intermedio 3 ^^. Desafortunadamente, todavía tengo el mismo maldito horario...
En fin, estoy contenta, de verdad esperaba pasar, basicamente porque se me ha estado dificultando un poco pasar y estudiar.... demasiadas cosas que hacer.
Pero al menos, esto prueba que puedo estudiar 3 idiomas al mismo tiempo, sin problemas. Sólo necesito estudiar un poco más, ni siquiera 3 horas, con una basta.
Y estudiar kanjis. Esos son mi mayor problema.
Bueno...
En otras cosas... tengo examen el lunes, pero no es un examen regular. No...
Es un c-nd-n-d- rally. Con pistas y toda la cosa. Así que vamos a estar corriendo por la escuela 2 horas enteras, tratando de decifrar algo.
Y también, he estado tratando de conseguir trabajo >_<. Básicamente porque es bueno para el curriculum, y también porque varios maestros nos han dicho que empezemos a practicar.
Así que... estaré haciendo varias llamadas la semana que viene. A ver si algo pega.
Buen fin de semana.

But since I only have languages, and I have my grades, and I have no classes... Friday is a free day ^^.
I love this.
Sadly, it'll only last a quarter.
Anyway... we're planning to go to see a movie tomorrow ^^. And just prowl around the plaza for a while, to do nothing and enjoy a free day ^^.
And on saturday is my final japanese class before the test. I've done the homework. I've been studying a little to remember what I need to pass the test and well... I just hope I can actually pass this time.
I need to make an essay for Spanish Literature and Culture about "The invention of America", is a book. It's very interesting, weird theory.
And I have to read another book yet again. But this one is smaller, thank God.
And...
That's it.
I got my grades already. German was really good, I got 98.
But French... comes up and down every time. I got 89 because of the writting part, I keep making stupid mistakes I shouldn't be making anymore. But I hope they'll go away if I read more. I got some books already, I've read some and well... it's just practice.
I hope next course will be better.
See you people.
Have a nice weekend.

La razón es que, los viernes sólo tengo idiomas ^^. Cada cuatro semanas, tenemos exámenes y los hacemos los miércoles. La calificación se da el jueves y así... viernes es libre para mi, porque, si tuviera materias de Humanísticas tendría que ir a la escuela.
Pero dado que sólo tengo idiomas, y dado que ya tengo mis calificaciones y no se da clase... viernes es día libre ^^.
Amo eso.
Lamentablemente, sólo durará este cuatrimestre.
En fin... estamos planeando ir mañana al cine ^^. Y rondar por la plaza un rato, hacer nada, disfrutar el día libre ^^.
Y el sábado es mi clase final de japonés antes del examen. Ya hice mi tarea. He estado estudiando un poco pare recordar lo que necesito para pasar el examen y bueno... sólo espero que de verdad pase esta vez.
Necesito hacer un ensayo para Literatura y Cultura Hispánica acerca de "La invención de América", es un libro. Es muy interesante, teoría extraña.
Y tengo que leer otro libro de nuevo. Pero éste es más pequeño gracias a Dios.
Y...
Eso es todo.
Me dieron calificaciones hoy. Alemán estuvo fabuloso. Saqué 98.
Pero Francés... sube y baja todo el tiempo. Tuve 89 por mis escritos, sigo haciendo tonterías que ya no debería. Pero espero que conforme lea, desaparezcan. Ya conseguí libros, ya he leído algunos y bueno... sólo es práctica.
Espero que me vaya mejor el siguiente curso.
Nos vemos gente
Tengan un buen fin de semana.

German was good, this 1-D I got a 89, because I have troubles with the verbs in perfect. I can't learn them all yet.
I will.
And French, I got a bit stupid in the oral part. And the listening one was chaos, so I got 85.
Everyone has ups and downs. I'll do better next time.
I'll study harder.
Tomorrow is the last day of the quarter. I'll receive my last grade and on monday I'll start the third quarter.
Gosh. Time just keeps flying, if feels like just yesterday I started my carreer. And now, 4 more months and I'll complete my first year.
I'm starting to believe that this is gonna just fly by.
Tomorrow I'll be doing my first translations.
Day after tomorrow I'll be doing my thesis.
And next week I'll be graduating and looking for a job.
Gosh!
Can someone slow down time... please?

OMG!
Bl**dy German. I knew it would be kinda hard.
But this is ridiculous.
One thing is to have complicated pronunciations, I have no problem with that (after all the nasal stuff...)
But that the sound doesn't even exist...
Grrr...
I've been fighting two classes with it and I still don't get it right. It'll probably take a while, but this is ridiculous.
Also, sometimes, when I'm speaking... I have the feeling that I don't understand a word I'm saying. Because in English I already know that I means "yo" and in Japanese Watashi has also the same connotation. Even in French I've grown use to the Je... but every time I start Ich... I feel I'm speaking mandarin instead of German.
I have no idea what I'm asking or saying. I takes me a while to even process what the teacher just asked us.
It's getting on my nerves. And I know this will be solved with time... but I've never had this problem with any other language (and yes, I know that with French is hard to get that problem because the language seems like spanish sometimes... is not so weird... and I know that with Japanese it took me about a year to get used to it... but I don't know... maybe is just that my humour hasn't been in its best... I'll give it some time).
Okey I just needed to get this out of my system
And no, I'm not translating. Go get a dictionary, my hands are numb. It's fr*ck*ng cold in here.

And I think is the first time that I'm actually happy about going to school.
I don't even mind waking up at quarter to six... because I know classes are gonna be great, interesting and real fun...
Okay, I'm going insane. But I'm not lying!
Thing is... even though I do love to write... I can't do it all the time because I have no ideas sometimes or I'm just not in the mood (and let's face it, a proper writer can't stop writing just because he/she is not in the mood...)
But languages are different. I could learn languages all my life and never grow bored. I could read or listen to them, even if I don't understand them just because it's wonderful. And I know there's people that can't stand listening to something they don't understand.
So... maybe is the way I have to know that my life is finally going somewhere. That I'm finally on my path, the one I'm supposed to follow, where I'll be happy.
I have this amazing feeling of fulfulling a need inside me... does that make any sense? Probably no.
Okay... moving on...
The german group was opened so, as of Monday, I'm learning German.
I think I'll die, or go insane... or start mixing up languages in forms that I can't conceive... yeah.
But I know is not gonna be so hard (I'm not saying German is not difficult, don't take me wrong... I'm just saying that languages doesn't seem to be too complicated in my mind like maths...)
And I have only 3 subjects this quarter: "Writting", "Texts studies" and "Grammar II"
So I don't have to stay until 3 o'clock everyday (Uyuki is glad about that).
And well, that's just about it.
I went in the search for new Vans... but I didn't find them. Apparently that design does not exist in my size... I don't belive them... so I'll have to search for them in the city centre.
But I did find a belt with kitty faces on it ^^.
And 2 books of Dr. Seuss.
And new yaoi mangas... and again, I have no money. No surprise there.
(Also, to finish with my random thoughts... the Muse is inspired, a whole new Katsura/Dipp story... more Katsura than anything, so I should turn on the other computer to start writting it. It looks promising... I hope I can actually finish it).

I should explain a little more.
Those of you who have been reading this journal on a frequent bases now that I'm studying japanese.
You should also know that I have been repeating the same level (Intermediate 1) about 3-4 times already, like if I have a f*ck*ng curse with it.
Well, the exam was a week ago, and I had a terrible floo and I felt like crap... still I went to do the test and I thougt "I'm not gonna pass surely".
Yesterday I called to ask for the results and the conversation went something like this:
Lady.- Good afternoon, may I help you?
Me.- I just want to know if I passed the exam.
Lady.- sure, what level are you in.
Me.- Intermediate 1.
Lady.- okey... name.
Me.- Uyuki... (no, I'm not giving you my real name, if you know me you know it, if you don't know me you don't need to know it).
Lady.- you passed.
Me.- O_o... really?
Lady.- em... yes.
Me.- (making the victory dance) Oh God, thank you so much, I can't believe it, I had a curse with that course.
Lady.- em... okey... are you gonna be on the next course?
Me.- oh yes.
So, you can imagine why I'm so happy. Finally I'l be able to go on Intermediate 2... and continue with my book.
It was an excelent day.
I'm still happy.
Very happy.
So happy I could actually fly...

Hell, that's why I'm paranoic, I've never been robbed (and I don't want to, thank you very much), but people I know keeps getting robbed lately, and freaks me out.
Also, I know people that walk to their houses everyday, are 56 years old and has never been robbed, so... maybe I have a chance of getting away with the same luck.
Darn... I'm going to run out of Mexico as soon as I can, and yes, I know big cities will always be dangerous, but I wasn't this afraid when I was in London... only during night time.
Anyway, my week of studying finished and now I can relax.
I've done some exams and so far we're good.
I got a 10 in Linguistics, so I couldn't be happier (Uyuki reminds "Thank Goodness" a song from Wicked... it kinda only makes sense if you know the lyrics)
And... I'm freezing.
I also have a cold (nothing interesting as you see), so I spent my weekend in bed.
And tomorrow I'll go to church (and yes, I can actually hear God and the angels celebrating, because I've never gone to church willingly before... but, I... well, I've kinda have changed my vision on the matter... mostly because of my mum, and of some experiences with stuff that was lost and then appeared again, out of nowhere).

But since the schedule has changed... we don't have Linguistics exam tomorrow, but until monday (oh thank God).
So now we have a lot more time to study. And to keep on wondering what is M.R. and what is A.T. (you don't want to know, even if I gave you the meaning you wouldn't know what I'm talking about).
So tomorrow, I'll help Pau to study History of Ideas, she really needs a good grade now. And then, on Ron's petition we'll study a bit of Linguistics (because he couldn't come today to our study session).
Then our Reading exam is until next Tuesday... so we still have time to decide something to read. And we'll study grammar on thrusday.
Friday is still cinema day. To clear our heads. Relax... Avoid a stroke.
And then, saturday I have japanese exam (I don't want to fail again... I'm scared...)
And sunday, is all the way to Sandra's house to study (again) Linguistics, one day before the exam, just to make sure we know everything.
Pau has threaten us with trick questions. I keep saying she is like a mini Bruna (Linguistics teacher...)
Anyway... today it was okay, relaxed, less stressful than yesterday.
And... well. I'm happy to inform that we are making a project. (We meaning, the comon trio. Ron, Pau and myself).
Although... I wouldn't want to give any details just right now, is still on "developing" so, we need to get togheter without anyone else. It's just something we need to do...
Ok, not need, just want to. But as Ron said... "we're connecting... we should do something".
And I think is a good idea ^^.
And today... I got to see him.
He finally appeared on school, I went to say hi... because yes, I like him, I can't help it, boys are cute.
And he was nice, like always. I don't have my hopes really high, because is not a good idea... but I like to see him.
I like his smile ^^.
And how he tease me (I'm a masochist I'm sure...)
And he actually asked for my mobile ^^... ok... I'm delirious now, I'm sleepy.
But the good thing is, he enrolled this afternoon, so in January, I'll see him around school.
And finally (yes, finally).
I found out a secret today.
And I know I shouldn't say anything, but I know I'll never see that person with the same eyes. I'll even pay more attention from now on... because is... is... odd.
Because I can't belive it...
O_o really, I can't.
And I can't tell the other person involved, because is not my bussiness.
But damn, is a juicy piece of information.
I'm too tired to translate today.

I have exams next week, and I'll be studying the whole week. My peers are worse than I in those matters, they study more than I ever did.
We have our "schedule" like this:
Monday.- Ron's house to study Linguistics. Analyse text.
Tuesday.- Give text to Bruna (just to see what we got wrong and why). Then go to my place, study what we have wrong because the test is the next day.
Wednesday.- Linguistics exam (note to self: probably will be oral... damn). Hope to get a good grade. Go to Ron's house study History of Ideas.
Thursday.- Reading exam... and guess what we'll do?... Right! We'll read out loud! Then my house, study grammar. Yes, we actually study grammar, all about the nouns, verbs, adjectives... passive voice... relfexive verbs and stuff. Sometimes, it seems as if we don't even know spanish, which is not good, that's why we'll study.
Friday.- Grammar exam. I'm sure we'll do fine, we're better at grammar than at linguistics anyway. Then off to the cinema to clear our minds.
So... it's gonna be hectic. And I'll dissappear from the net.
So, have a nice weekend. And a nice week too.

Let me explain.
I'm reading Memnoch the Devil, in English obviously, because all the books in Spanish disappeared misteriously about 2 years ago. That's not the point though.
Since there are so many words that I still don't know, I carry a little piece of paper to write them down and look them up later on. Actually, I've found many words that will come in handy in the future.
But, as usual, I come across words like "gush" wich in a translation is a whole set of words. Or with phrases like "sugar-coated mock gentleman" that I have no idea what the pretend to convey.
So, since I know american people, I asked them about the second one. The answer they gave me is that it refers to a bad person trying to pass by as a good person. In Spanish being "lobo disfrazado de oveja".
So, I asked my cousin to pass me the PC book, just to see how the translator had done it. This is the original part in English:
"Also, my mother had a disastrous new boyfriend that last year, a sugar-coated mock gentleman, actually, one of those people who speaks surprisingly well, has overly bright eyes, and is obviously rotten inside, and from a totally unconvincing background."
She translated it like this:
"-Por otra parte, ese año mi madre se echó un novio que era un desastre, un tipo remilgado que se hacía pasar por un caballero, uno de esos tipos que se expresan correctamente, con los ojos demasiado brillantes, un sujeto poco recomendable y de dudosos antecedentes".
Those of you how now English. Notice a difference?
In other news, we just started Passé Composé... so now I have to write some holidays using past ^^.
I just hope I'll get the auxiliars right.
Have a nice weekend people.

Let's see, last week was the Cultural Week, and all the teacher told us "since you're having a Cultural Week with no classes, next week we'll do exams".
So now, I'm having presentations after presentations. Yesterday I had my Linguistics exam (oh the terror of terror), I actually did quite well, got a 9 and everything, so I'm hoping to get better at the final exam, in another 2 months.
Then, today I had my English presentation, I made it about Merlin, given that I needed a topic I actually knew by heart, because the gave us one day to prepare it. We were supposed to do it until tomorrow, but they decided to move the presentations, apparently, just because they like to torture us.
Then, I also had my Reading presentation today, it was about Dracula (that one was pretty good really, the book is nice and it's interesting at the very least). I think we did it quite well. Or at least I hope so.
I still need to make my Philosophy exam, but that's next week, so no need to worry.
And... my French exam is tomorrow.
Geez, I need to sleep urgently, my body demands a bed, and about a whole day of sleep.
Sadly, I'm not gonna get one, so...
What else?
I'm on my computing class (not very promising actually), I'm bored.
I need a bed. Now!!!!!!!
