personally i wouldn't be that bothered, i was nervous as h*ll when i did my french oral back in the days lol, but it went fine.... just don't do what a person did in the year above me and say a german equvilent to: "J'suis un t-shirt" probably spelt it wrong, but for those of you whodon't know what it means it means "i am a t-shirt" - probably not a good comment to say.

I had a debate with the teacher about the filmability of Terry Prachett's books :\ Then I collapsed and forgot the word for "no".

I spoke French in my German Oral and spoke German in my French Oral (at which point my French teacher sort of smiled at me encouragingly- so don't worry, they really do try!!)
I had Mrs Wilkins. She rocked! She made us work sooo sooo hard and write a ridiculous no. of essays and do vocab tests every week. But she did get us through the exam very well! Even Steph, who wrote an entire essay in the wrong tense, got an A*.

Mrs Wilkins scared me slightly too in the third year, now we have Mrs Roberts. Their teaching sounds surprisingly similar. Endless essays in the imperfect...grrr...

I was going to make an optimistic comment...
... but is it actually possible to be perfect at the imperfect?
It's late, and I'm trying to be funny.
No, actually, it's not that late. I'm just tired because I can't see. d**n these glasses; I'm better without.

How handy...I quite like mine. They prevent people getting too close if you don't want them to.

I don't really need glasses, but obtained a pair this half term. They make me look intellectual. But I can't play badminton with them on because the images get squashed and unsquashed and all colourful and I can't figure out how far the shuttlec*ck is and by the time I've figured it out, it's already moved.
Arrie - how close to people tend to get to you?

You can't be perfect at the imperfect because no verb is declined in the same way! So, it' not really a rule you learn but a whole set of 'exceptions'. Glasses are annoying. Well, mine are but then I need new ones. Maybe this is why I keep screaming at random U5s which bear any vague resemblance to yous guys...

Hehe, that may have given the wrong impression, no-one gets very close to me but it would be a good way of keeping them away from you if they did.

But then glasses are very close to your face anyway, so it'll be much easier to punch.

Good point. And if I take them off to fight, I'm disadvantaged...

Or you could do an Aragorn and refrain from showering for 89 years. That should keep people much further away than a pair of glasses.

In 89 years I'll be dead, but in the meantime I could not shower, yes, hehehe.
