Why?

------------------
Old aunts used to come up to me at weddings, poking me in the ribs and cackling, telling me, "You're next." They stopped after I started doing the same thing to them at funerals.

I read the title of this thread, and thought something very dirty pretty much immediately.

I'm going to go sit in the corner now.

It was just just where I originally heard it in context to what was meant, which I didn't understand at the time.

It's French. It will surrender in 20 minutes.

Yeah, sorry those French jokes are old/lame. You'll do fine if you studied. Otherwise, what I would do is PANIC!

I think that's an excellent joke, as the examinations here last...20 minutes. Sadly, there's a 20 minute listening test first, to check if I actually understand spoken French, which I don't do to any great extent. Oh well.

Anyway, thanks a lot for the encouragement. I will use the weekend and Monday to think in French, see French movies and read French litterature. Hopefully I won't fall down from exhaustion before the test.

The best part though, is that my parents are away this weekend. I have set up a home cinema system I'm proud of in the living room (just for the occasion), and I'll listen to very loud heavy metal and see splatter films in the breaks. At least that'll be fun [http://forums.massassi.net/html/smile.gif] Oh, and I moved the guinea pig down to my sister's room. He's named Neo, but he doesn't like the music that loud.

We had an 'oral' final exam in french also, but we had the option to make a movie. So, me and a couple friends did. We managed to get a lightsaber fight in it [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif] Maybe I'll upload it to the internet someday so we can be made fun of.
