A FRENCH LESSON
Today I had my exam in Opto Electronique Quantique, the only fifth year course I do here at INSA. No, it didn't go well. I've read like a maniac the past days, but it seems it didn't suffice for me to grasp the essence of the course.
Today's lesson in French is about the phrase many foreign students have to learn some time during their stay abroad:
"I failed a course." or
"I flunked a course."
So, here's the French equivalent:
"J'ai échoué un cours."
"J'ai foiré un cours."
Simple and useful (unfortunately). This lesson does of course have two sides, the phrases on one and the moral You need to work throughout the year to succeed.
Even though I probably failed the Opto Electronics course, I've had a good day. Thanks to Philippe and especially Claire, I finally managed to finish the DM (Devoir maison = home work) in Nanophysique 3. What a great feeling!
Saturday (6th December 08) I attended the ANSA Christmas ball. It was really nice to meet so many Norwegians, taste such great food and wine! I went home early (02h bus) to be able to work for the exam. Many thanks to Santiago for helping me understanding some for the Opto!
I'm listening to Kent's "Tillbaka til Samtiden" album. Fantastic, worth a look! I'll finish off this post with a picture taken from my apartment window.
Good night to you all!
