"You've got a face for a smile, you know."

Sooooo, my French class is showing promise!

 The blonde girl with the superiority complex dropped out- hooray! But it seems that she took like, ten other people with her because our class is a lot emptier now. I guess that they decided to give up, but nope! Not me! I am determined to master this language if it's the last thing I do. There is still one odd fellow left in my class. Everyone kind of glares at him when he talks. I actually feel sort of bad for him because I think that he gets some sort of stage fright (or maybe it's a horrible speech impediment) when speaking in front of the class... he st-st-st-stutters and says, "Ummm" all the time. Unfortunately, he also likes to talk a LOT. He raises his hand even when he doesn't know the answer and I think that that is what irritates people. Lucky for me, he is also in one of my other courses and yes, he enjoys raising his hand in that class too. Ugh. I'm getting better at understanding what my prof is saying, and I'm not feeling so left out when she makes jokes because I am starting to understand them! I'm not a pro, but I'm getting there.

Baby steps for this padawan. Bonne nuit!
