Dec. 6th, 2006 11:59 pmGyah, so apparently I am one of _two_ people who have registered for Russian 2B in the spring semester. This means it will likely be cut. And Dr. Gray is a _lecturer_, not technically a professor, so he's not allowed to set up Independent Study. So guh. There goes that. Crumbs.
Maybe I'll pick up Arabic. Or Greek? The alphabet shouldn't be bad, after Russian. Or I could be totally vanilla and go back to clean up my Spanish. *yawn* so cliche. Same with starting Italian. Romance languages are so passé (... ignore the fact that's a French word). But, oh, to not have to worry about cases anymore... and only have two genders... and decent sound-spelling correspondence... *wistful sigh* If only it didn't feel like taking the easy way out.
Oh, slight change of topic: we're doing comparatives in Russian, and today in class we were going down the list of irregular ones, and they have хороший, хорошо, лучше ~ good, well, better. And someone commented on the oddity, and Профессор replied, "Well, English has 'good, better, best' - where'd that come from, either?" with a shrug.
"German," says I, even though I know it was a rhetorical question, "gut, besser, best."
Профессор gives me this you-had-to-call-me-on-that-didn't-you look and says to the rest of the class, "See? That's what you get for having smart students."
*blush*
