Today one of my lecturers called me Maria when trying to remember my name, when I told him it was actually Marie he started going on about it being Maria in latin then said "there you go, we've just latinized you"!!! I was quite scared!
I also got to watch a video about the history of Barbie in french today! Apparently she was based on another doll called Lilli who was originally a cartoon character in a German newspaper and chased after rich men!! Oral classes are so educational!

Stressed
Argh, I have a 2000 word commentary to write on a french passage before tuesday and I've only written 250 words so far!!! And I don't know what to write, I don't understand it! I also have a cold and a cough and feel generally ill, but at least I kind of have a voice again now :)
Had a great weekend at camp though, lots of hilarious camp jokes (that won't make sense or be at all funny to anyone who wasn't there!) such as pinocchio -"I don't like cake", and bilabial fricative!! One of the best moments was when one of the leaders came into our room, switched off the light and started hitting us with a pillow!! It was so random!
Also learnt that flipping a coin is a great way of making decisions, after me and Sarah spent half an hour trying to deicde who was going to make a phone call!!
Should really get on with my commentary now...

Finally...
Yay, I finally got my exam results (all but one) and I'm so happy!!! I got 70% in Principles of linguistics, 82% in Langusge the individual and society and 92% in Introduction to the varieties of English!!! I was so shocked, had to check about 5 times to make sure I'd got the right number! Especially Principles of linguistics cos it was such a hard exam and I really thought I'd failed!
Yippee!!
Yippee!!
