Something is happening and I don't know what it is. Perhaps it's just that the Sorbonne grades way more harshly than the Université de Nantes. Perhaps it's just that the one-month span of time to receive all this information isn't enough and I'm being overloaded with information. Or perhaps - and this is the most likely reason - my French really isn't anywhere near to being "avancé".
But whatever the real reason, I have now reached that threshold where my French and my grades are actually starting to get worse. But I'm sure there are even reasons for that: the addition of a new phonetics course this week, the test this week, the fact that today was rather dreary.
I tell myself that I need to keep going and so I push through my badly translated conversations and turn over the papers with their horrible red-ink grades, confident that if I can just get through this bad part then knowledge will come. And if not knowledge, at least a few new words and phrases.
