0128: Exam Day

Today's my French language B2 final exam, and I'm petrified about it. So of course, I'm here typing, and also I've spent the morning watching a documentary about French students cramming for exams. Better to watch it than to do it.

Review of ‘The Competition’ (2016) ★★★★

Not only am I sure this is a massively helpful document for anyone actually looking to apply to this (or any other) film school -- when they say "all access," they're not kidding; we get to hear and…

To be fair, the doc was really good, and edifying as hell -- I would love a permanent copy of it, just so I could pick apart the discussions they were having about the importance of being focused and driven about being creative -- but today is not a day for taking on more and new information.

No. Today is a day for cramming a little bit, drilling hard on the subjunctive tense and prepositions, and making sure I'm as good as I can be on comprehension. As well as maybe getting a little rest if I can, and being in the best headspace possible for tonight.

If you don't know what the subjunctive tense is, that's understandable. It doesn't really exist in English. The closest example I can think of comes from Hail Caesar! :
