Bonjour !!!
You guessed it. I have my French test tomorrow. I’ve studied French for five years but the only day I bother using it a day before my test. Bof.
That’s French for meh. Or at least sounds like it is. French is the easiest subject I study for grades. Marks, as a layman would call it. French tests are mostly objective based, and are scored objectively too. That’s a boon for an Arts student. For some outrageous reason, all my other papers are scored subjectively most of the times. Except for the first 20 marks in objectives, long answers are king. I’m bored just writing about writing about it. Think how bored I get when I actually write those answers.
The cut offs to get into a Bachelor’s in Mass Media course in my college are 93%. There’s no work around, just 66 seats for 66 of the nerdiest nerds. So this year, I’m studying for 93%. I’ve never studied for an exact number before, and there hasn’t ever been such a strong incentive for me to study either. But that’s what really matters. A silly number, or I get stuck with a second best college. I’m gonna play my cards right this time, and get in the college I want. Actually stay in the same college. Jai Hind college has one of the best BMM courses in Bombay. So I’m gonna stick around for senior college too.
All this study talk has me bored.
If you have a schtick that can might facilitate my march to 93% in my state tests, let me know. If it works, I’ll give you a third of the profits I earn as dictator of the world. Also, if you do have a schtick, throw it to a cute little puppy and make him or her happy. Puppies love playing fetch.
Au Revoir!
