"Out of all of the friends I had Fry, you're the first!"

Ergh a derg. Spanish is by far the worst class. I am like failing. Actually, forget the "like". I AM failing. Or at least have a terrible horrible grade. But honestly, there's not much I can do really. The teacher is annoying, so much stuff to learn and I don't even get half of it probably. We have a test on Monday. I'll study, sure, but my chances of passing are like... close to zero. Ok, ok, I guess I really won't pass it with that attitude, but whatever.

I didn't miss much on Tuesday according to Jess. We had a math test, which I knew nothing about, which didn't thrill me. But I think I passed maybe. I skipped this one question 'cause I didn't really know what it was asking (they were in French) and I couldn't figure out this one problem where I was supposed to find 2 numbers that when added together are equal to 1, and when divided are equal to 3. I just couldn't get it. The teacher told me some stuff in French, which I just replied "d'accord... ca va...." even though I didn't really get what he was saying. He saw me looking up a word in the dictionary and asked what I was looking for. I think he knows English pretty well maybe 'cause he told me it was the verb to know. Or something. So yeah.

Wednesdays are probably the 2nd best school day, after Friday. Half day and OK classes 'cept for Spanish. In SVT (Sciences de la vie and terre= earth and life science) we're learning about earthquakes. I think I already learned about those though. We have an English math test sometime soon, which I should do OK on I guess.

I missed the English spelling test today and need to still turn in my essay. Hope the teacher won't kill me and Jess. Jess was nice enough today to let me take home her Spanish binder because I needed to organize mine or else the teacher would majorly mark me down.

So I'm pretty much... "hooked" on Futurama now. Well, as hooked as someone can get after 3 episodes. It's pretty funny. It's easy to see the Matt Groening influences. Bender is awesome. The stupid thing takes like an hour to load though. But yeah.

Bad news. The LHC collider (CERN thing my dad is working on, which is the whole reason we have to do this whole stupid trip) is going to be shut down till April 2009 for repairs. Which means there'd only be 4 months or something till we would have to go back after it's turned on again. Hm. We're still going to the party thing in October. It's supposed to be pretty cool.

So... lots of blog posts for September. Might be the most in a month so far... anyway. I've sort of gotten better I guess. Head doesn't hurt and I just have those light phlegmy coughs. Nose is sore, still use some tissues. Oh and also, my parents went to Lyon today while we were at school to get my dad a Swiss Visa so he could work at CERN because CERN is sort of in Switzerland. And they also brought me back pins of The Beatles minus George (so sad... it's just not the same without that quiet guy), Chuck Berry, Neil Young and the cover of HELP! So those are cool; I'll probably wear 'em tomorrow.
