Llafar, llafar, llafar!

That's all it seems to be with language lessons this term; Mrs Roberts is onto us about the literature oral, Mrs Richardson is onto us about the Spanish oral and Mrs Roberts was onto us about the language oral. Luckily the latter's done, as of today.

I'll admit, I was kind of panicking about the language oral (hey, no rude jokes!) since I have a habit of instinctively reverting back to speaking English as soon as the teacher leaves, so the only time I actually spoke welsh whilst preparing for the exam was when Mrs Roberts was there seeing how we were doing.

Still, today's exam wasn't all that bad. The tape-recorder was giving me sinister looks, though. It was staring at me with its turning tape reels, just trying to make me fail. And the counter! It was just ticking away the seconds, it was like watching a countdown to your death! Well, perhaps not quite but you get the general idea. I was looking at the counter thinking "Crap, we've only been talking for eight minutes and we've run out of things to say!"

But all was well. We got through the exam (I don't know how I managed to speak welsh for so long!) fine. The only problem I had was that I couldn't see the sheet with all the notes on it that we made. So Carys and Priya could see the list, but I had to do it from memory and/or make i up as I went along. But that's okay; if I was reading the notes, I would've missed a lot of the actual conversation. Yeah, I have a habit of doing that; if there's writing in front of me, I will read it.

I'm kind of worried though because I kept on going on about the money aspect of the ID cards. I kept bringing it up and I think I repeated myself a few times. Woops. But it's alright; Mrs Roberts was doing her frantic nodding of agreement when I was on about the money, so 's all good.

And guess what! I discovered that I can speak welsh! Yay!

But I also realised that I've got just one and a half weeks to get all my I.T. work in, and I really haven't done that much work. So that's what I've been doing tonight and what I shall continue to do until the late hours. Now if you'll excuse me, I've a pamphlet to remake and some software to get angry at— Microsoft Word has a tendency to crash on a Mac, meaning that I end up losing rather a lot of my work. I could use Pages, but that throws the layout of the Word document all out of whack. It's not a good look.

Note: There's not actual point to this post. My hand was going all annoying from using the mouse for so long, so I decided that I needed to type something. :]
