Relationship Update
It's about 3:30 Monday morning. This is the second all-nighter I've pulled since meeting Arabic. He is a hard person to please and I fear that I may not live up to standards. I have an exam in 5 hours. Argh. Never again will I mention the difficulties of French. I miss French and all the French love.
Too bad Arabic isn't a real person ... I have some internal language frusteration that I need to vent and what could be better than taking it out on a native speaker! Well actually, I already know the outcome of that conversation ... I would lament the hardness of learning Arabic and he would reply with a "I learned English." Bloody English. I've read/been told that English is indeed a hard language to learn (and it evidently is, as I still cannot correctly speak). Why doesn't the American elementary/high school education system force students to learn languages! Ah yes, I remember why: because we're a superpower and the world comes to us. Therefore we should not have to learn anything about the world outside our boarders. ... I forgot about that little detail.
Anyway, I should probably get back to my Arabic lover. He's probably feeling lonely. We've spent a lot of time together lately. And i can only hope for more *good times* together. Rock on with the language love.
