The above is kind of why I am not sure why I attend the uni I attend. If you watch the episode of "The Young Ones" in which they participate in University Challenge, you will most likely understand many of the people in my course.
Okay, no, so it's not quite that bad, but I am getting sick of the Gucci handbags and the iphones.
Also, we finished watching the film we've been studying in French yesterday. Which means essentially that we now have to pay attention and start answering my tutor's questions. I gag in horror at this. QUELLE HORREUR.
I will respond: "Bonjour Monsieur Henry. Je pense que tu es un homme genial, mais je ne comprends pas tous les mots qui vous disez. C'est une probleme, n'est-ce pas?"
Also, the film "Lacombe Lucien", finished in an entirely innapropriate way. Basically, it's about a 17-year-old French boy who lives on a farm. He somehow (the "how" is never established - he basically stumbles upon a mansion and the german police are all: "Man you are le cool work for le us") ends up working for the Germans, but then falls in love with a Jewish girl. Eventually he saves his girlfriend and her grandmother from being killed, and they go and live on his old abandoned farm. Then, the film finishes on this romantic image of them lying in the grass at dusk and text appears over the top of said image saying: "Lacombe Lucien was found guilty and sentenced to death by firing squad in 1944". Obviously in French, but I can't be bothered working out how to translate that.
Blergh.
So anyway. Not that I cared that much, because Lucien was creepy, and also a massive jerkface with the face of a jerk, but way to kill the moment, Mr Movie.
But anyway, tomorrow is coffee and cake day at Brunetti's! This is so exciting - you have no idea. Girl on the run and I gorge ourselves on cakes piled high with chocolate sculptures and sit outside on Lygon St and MOCK EVERYONE WHO IS SMALLER AND WEAKER THAN US.
Or I do... internally. Girl on the run probably doesn't, because she is much nicer than me.
In conclusion, "The Young Ones" and "cake and coffee" solve all of life's problems. The French language and university in general solve considerably less.
I love you like fireworks.
