Well, the last couple of days have been ok, I suppose. I'm getting more hours in at work, since the Spanish people asked me to come in on Mondays and Tuesdays now, so that's another couple of hours, so I should get about 8 per week now.

I got a 97.2 on my last Physics test. Slightly disappointing, because I would have liked something really big so I can slack on the final, but it doesn't look like I can have that.

These people behind our house keep setting off these really loud fireworks, and I really want them to shut the fuck up right now. Fucking frustrating to hear that shit this time of night. Plus, it's like the 18th of July, this day means like nothing in history.

May I repeat myself? SHUT THE FUCK UP WITH THE FIREWORKS.

Ok, so that was my short rant.

Oh, on the physics test, I am somewhat happy, because I heard the really annoying bitch who talks all the time say "this is total bullshit". Ha ha ha. That means she must have done badly, and I can go, "hell yeah, puta".

So my Arabic program is going ok. I'm getting a lot of vocab, which I'm trying to integrate into my sentences, so now I'm talking in three languages at a time. I can see where some words have language relationships. For example, the Spanish word for rice (arroz) comes from the Arabic word (rozz). The colors aren't related at all, really. However, orange is really close between Arabic and Greek. In Greek, orange is "Portucali" and in Arabic it's "bortughaali" I know it doesn't look really similar, but in Arabic, based on what I've seen, the "b" and the "p" really aren't that different. Like, grapefruit in Arabic is "gereib firuut" and that spelling sounds just like the English word.

If the second CD on this pack looks promising, I might buy the full pack. It's like $19.99 at Best Buy for 5 CD's. I'll definitely consider getting the Italian one too, because that one will be really easy to learn, considering I've already got one and a half Romance languages down pat (English is half Romance), I've already had exposure to the original Romance language, and I start another one this semester.

Yay for languages!
