Is this on the exam!

Did you hear about the Nova Scotia tall ship that went down that is a floating school? The students were stuck in dinghy's waiting for rescue for 40 hours. Apparently they sang Disney songs to keep morale up - hmm, sounds like torture to me!!

What do you suppose children who learn in this unique way are like? I imagine there is a keener asking the whole time they are evacuating "Will this be on the exam?".

C'mon - no one died so I can make a little joke!

I'm so mixed up!

I think I have finally decided to drop Hebrew. I did really well first semester but now I'm stuck. I have a midterm on Monday that I have no time left to study for and I just can't get all these verb paradigms into my head!!

I do get about 40% of my fee back if I drop now. I can't remember if I have ever dropped a course! I am feeling really beat up about it - but I think I did as good as I could. I got a reallygood mark first semester but the prof got behind and we were going at a slower pace. The stupid thing is that other profs teach it in a different way so I will likely have to take first semester all over again.

I should feel relieved but I feel like a failure!
