French [Completed]

[insert timely photo here]

(It’s not about this.)

…Hrmm. That was pretty strange. MPC-HC’s D3D Fullscreen option was turned on and I could only disable it by pressing Ctrl + C. However, that stopped the the video and somehow minimized it so that I could never see the video – I think it was somehow pushed /behind/ the desktop. After a reinstall, I managed to disable D3D, but the video only loaded its menu, seek bar, and controls – there was no video, only audio. Finally, I found a workaround – by dragging the video to the corners of my screen, it enlarges, so by doing that, I could somehow watch the video. Eh, this is really stupid, but what can you do :s

…Seems to be fixed now? Perhaps a restart was all it needed.

Anyways, I hate Mondays – I can’t do anything on the computer the entire day, because my mother is on the computer… the entire day. It’s sad, my summer is the same as a regular two months except for merely four added days… sigh.

I just finished my French test (and thus this school year) with black-and-white colours (because it was entirely multiple choice and used a Scantron sheet! Get it? Ha ha), even though it may have been the hardest French test I have ever gotten. No, definitely the hardest.

I’ll give you a sample of 20 questions (translated in English, because the French level is /really/ high) to show you the difficulties I faced on the test. Some of them are directly copied from the test, some of them are merely similar.
