I tried to get there early today to change seats so I could sit with the American and the Swedish girl but I missed the early tram. Same old seat, surrounded by the bottom 10 percentile of the class.
Test today, there was tension dans la chambre! After some review (that most of us thought was the test), we begin. Within 10 seconds Clueless Turkish Guy and his friend, Slightly-Less-Clueless-But-Still-Clueless Afghan Guy start cheating off me. First of all, I am the LAST person you should be cheating off of. But, I have to say my French is better than both of these guys. I didn't really care until Turkish Guy actually grabs my test paper and flips it over because he wasn't done copying the answers from the other side.... while I was still writing.
After grading our test Nice French Teacher asks about a third of the class to stay behind. The Afghan and the Turk did not get to leave early, I did! Maybe I'm not so bad after all, or my teacher just uses a bell curve.
Other notes:
- The Libyan girl who has the "Bratz" notepad also has a "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" pencil sharpener. Also, she is not 17 or 18 as I had assumed, she is 22 (We were learning to say our age the other day).
- Somewhat-Clueless Afghan guy talks to himself all the time. It's really starting to creep me out...
