Vomit

So I registered for the FSOT today.  I feel like I vomited in my mouth a little bit.  I HATE this test!  It is impossible to study for it, as the saying goes, "it is a mile wide and an inch deep."  Last year I did a lot of studying by reading The Ec0nomist and some other books.  I'm not sure how much it helped.  I don't have a lot of time to do that now, but I will try to squeeze something in.  I did okay on the test last time, but I could work on my essay writing.  All of it sounds like loads of fun, so you can imagine my excitement!  I am ready to have it over with yesterday!  Wish me luck!

Happy 2011

Happy 2011 to everyone out there!  I really enjoy reading everyone's stories throughout the year and I hope 2011 takes everyone to exciting places and I get to live vicariously through their adventures.  I soooo hope I am on the other side come this time next year.  I really want this, but I am losing my motivation with French.  I do feel that I am making some progress, but it is sooooo time consuming.  Working and the kids and pets and coaching 1st grade basketball and cub scouts etc, etc, etc.  It is all exhausting and it makes it hard to not collapse every night.  I know there is no hope of me making it to A-100 without the language points (even then it is a stretch) so I am continuing, but it is not easy!  I think I am going to take the FSOT again and start this process all over.  Who knows how it will go this time around, but I feel like I have to try it.

Hopefully 2011 will be a good one.  If anything, it will be busy!
