Lovin' it

I finished my 1 a level French course today. I hardly put in too much offline time studying but ensured I attended class regularly and more importantly, paid attention in class. Fundamentally I've come to believe now that for reasons known only to our maker, my brain is wired in a way where I am quick to grasp concepts of grammar, sentence construction, tenses and so on. Looking back, English was always my favourite subject right from my earliest recollections of school, not to mention doing exceptionally well at Kannada despite being a Gujju. I found grammar similar to how many bright Indian kids find maths. And the same wiring helped when I wrote the diploma español exam and now in French aussi. Reason I say all this is I felt an epiphany this morning. As I was sitting at the exam chair ticking away the (correct) answers where we had to derive meaning after hearing an audio clip, I suddenly said to myself: damn I really love doing this!

It was a good feeling...I need to still figure out how on earth to take a stab at the diploma intermedio...I've written about it a hundred times before. If I get that...estoy listo para trabajar en un pais de hispanohablante. Mais maintenant je vais les cours de français.
