I just erased my last post
... because it was way to negative. It comes down to this: I didn't have such a good day. Nothing valuable came out of it. I felt lost during a lecture on Shakespeare's Richard III, disapointed in journalisme, and completely stressed out on the bus.
There I was, in my uncomfortable seat in journalisme ecrit, when I asked myself what I was still doing in school. Two years in kindergarden, 6 years in elementary school, 2 years of junior high, 5 years of high school (because we used to have grade 13), 3 years of university... I'm in my 19th year of studying. What am I still doing in this stressful environment? Of course, my career will propably be as stressful, but at least it will be a different kind of stress. I'm tired of being worried about grades, readings, lectures, papers, researches and essays. Sure I don't have to worry about grades, I'm way above what's required to enter in the Faculte d'education. But it will impact my salary when I become a teacher. Nonetheless, it's not a reason to stress right now, my grades aren't falling drastically. Actually, I don't even know if my grades have dropped. So why stress? I'm like Hermione Granger in that sense. What bothers me the most is how out of place I feel sometimes in my classes. I'm not as good as I would like to be in english, and my french isn't up to the standards I would want it to be. Of course my french grammar would be even better if I didn't attend english literature classes. But my english wouldn't be this good either. I chose both, there are consequences. But I'll come out a winner. I just wish some people realized how valuable it is to be bilingual. Ironically, it's the french people (usually from accross the border) who like to point out that I have an english accent. Ce n'est pas un accent, c'est la facon dont parlent les franco-ontariens! I'm taking an audience research class, for which I have to organize a research study. It's actually demanding but fun. However, I'm finding it hard to find somewhere to distribute surveys. Why has everything become private property all of a sudden? This is adding to my stress load. I want to escape all this stress. Because when I look at it from the outside, it seems so pointless to worry. But sometimes I can't help it. Today was one of those days. On a lighter note There are four songs on the Harry Potter Soundtrack website. I really like "This is the Night". The rock & roll feel brings even more realism to the story. Suddenly, their world doesn't seem so far away.  Jazzy, Rachel and Kass, thanks for the comments and the nice words about by wallpaper.# written by Elise

Salut!!
Oh, je te comprends tellement...Je suis tellement découragée parfois par tout le stress et les travaux que l'école apporte...Mais quand je m'en plain, ma mère ne manque jamais de me dire "tu vas voir quand tu vas travailler, c'est tout aussi dur!" MAIS NON! Lorsque tu arrives à la maison après une journée de travail, il n'y a pas d'étude qui doit être faite, des devoirs qui doivent être complétés ou un sujet quequonque à recherché!! Bien sûr, il y a le ménage et la vaisselle qui ne se feront pas par eux-mêmes, mais on a quand même la possibilité de le reporter au lendemain! Entk...LOL, je viens de me relire, et, ne t'en fais pas, je ne suis pas si enragée que ça quand même...c'était juste un petit débordement occasionnel...voilà, le calme est revenu ;) Anyways, I hope you had a good week after all, and I wish you a very good weekend!

It's funny and sometimes annoying how some 'foreigners' can point out that you speak their language with an accent. At least you try, there are plenty of people in the world that even refuse to try to learn another language.
I have studied a total of 7 languages, most of 'm I speak barely. But I always try to speak the languages as much as possible when abroad. How shitty it may sound, at least I try...
Oh I know what you mean. I had the crappiest day yesterday. Nothing was right. I had the worst, most rudest customers. I just wanted to go home and go to sleep and get some rest. I had a headache, I was tired, annoyed and hungry, lol. I had stood on my feet for seven + hrs and ahhhhh it was a bad day.
I also got a portfolio to do for college, you're right, it's too much stress. We NEED a HOLIDAY break. :) jac xxx
i know how you feel -- i remember in school i'd get so worked up and stressed over my projects, hw, & tests. but then i'd think .. a couple years from now all this stress won't matter and i'll be fine. of course i still worried anyways hehe. i'm sure you'll do great with everything .. feel better & have a great week!
