O-Town

For some odd reason, O-Town's song, "All or Nothing" entered my head this reason. Very strange. Anyway, it got me thinking about this blog. (And additionally, the disappearance of boy bands, and guilty pleasures in general, but I won't go there.) Specifically the fact that I haven't written in it as much as I've wanted to. I was thinking of opening the blog to more random topics as this whole "assimilation" project of living in the UK has gone stale. But I won't rant on that now...

What I do want to rant about is how funny it is learning a new language.

As part of my New Year's resolutions I posted back in January, I wanted a pick up a new skill. I'm actually picking up a couple of new skills, one of which is speaking French!

I have class every week and its so funny because I feel like an idiot trying to read and speak. When I'm reading, I feel like I'm in grade school, sounding out each word and reading ever so slowly. And when I speak, its just as bad. There's a bit of embarrassment as well as I feel my classmates know much more than I do. Its also something to get use to as we have homework due each week and of course, if I really want to learn it I have to study!

But I'll get there. Maybe at some point I can blog in french! Au revoir!
