Oraling It Up!

So I haven't been feeling well lately and this morning I finally decided to get my act together and go for a check up! Turns out those 39*C fevers I have been having is because I have a severely infected throat. Now I'm on antibiotics (AGAIN - lol 3rd time this year already. Hey maybe I'll have one for each month of the year?) for 7 days and some other fuzzy fun stuff!


I do hope I get my voice back in time for the orals, otherwise that would be an awkward 15 minutes!


Since I missed all the hardcore oral stuff in both French and Irish, I've recruited some help for the following two weeks!


Helper #1
My sweet sweet sister, which I now pity because she's in for a fair bit of a roller coaster ride! If only she knew what I've got planned. But she did voluntarily agree to it. So her loss lol. Oh and if you're reading this... you know what I'm like so don't complain. ILY (:


Helper #2
The one and only Carla Bruni! See the big idea here is that by listening to some... let's say good french music. It should make me more adaptable to it. Thus easily understanding and not being so passive of the french language. Good theory right? Lol we'll see if it works! Oh and if you've never heard of Madame Bruni have a look at this:

 

Helper #3
Some good'ole Gaelic folk music! Check these guys out! Oh and if you do some other language like German or Spanish or stuff like that, then just 'YouTube it'. I guarantee that if you listen to the same-ish songs like 20 times, your brain is bound to get a few lines of it 'stuck in your head'. That should stimulate you to attempt to sing it out and hence get a fancy accent! I use to despise french before but now that I'm listening to their songs and mimicking the singers I'm bettering my accent! My theories are awesome lol! Let me know if you try this! Or if you've got a better idea for me.

 

Helper #4
Contacts! Apparently my mother knows someone who is fluent in Irish and has another friend who comes from France so she is setting me up on a mate-date! Hopefully they will get my accent going and help out with vocabulary issues! Got no contacts? Then try using translate.google.com or just listen to more music?


Helper #5
I might do a quick fix and go to an Easter french revision course or at least the mock-oral.

On other irrelevant updates... 

My dog Lucy is on her heat again. 

Considering that in her last 3 heats she got pregnant, I do wonder what will happen this time?

Lucy

Last Tuesday the 27th marked the official 1 month-anniversary of my surgery.

Yay to back to normality! One of my friends from school also asked this week, after seeing my tiny scars, how will I be able to wear a bikini now? Their tiny seriously! To me they just look like a cat scratched me and then it got sun burned lol. Somehow she couldn't understand how I wasn't bothered about the idea of throwing on  bikini. Good thing I'm not highly sensitive to my looks -otherwise that could have ended badly! Oh and should get the last stitch out soon!

I think that's it for now. Message me if you have any fun study ideas for me! (:
