I have been insulted by my English exam...

So, for context:

English is not my native languag, but I've been taking English classes in school for like five years now. This year's final English exam is a book project. We have to read a book, which we had to choose from a list my teacher gave us, and make a portfolio on it. I chose 1984 by George Orwell.

Now for the portfolio, we have to summarise each chapter, awnser question about it and write down three new or interesting words, phrases and idioms and translate/ define them.

In the version of 1984 my teacher got me, there are words marked in each chapter, those are the words I am supposed to choose from for the last task. In chapter four there were exactly four words highlighted.

One of them was "shelf" and since I didn't want to explain the word "sweat", I have to define what a shelf is...

I have been writing and reading in English in my free time nearly fluently, for about three years now ... and I have to explain what a shelf is for my final exam...

They could not find a better word in 1984, a classic from the mid 20th century about mass surveillance, to describe then "shelf".

I went to a nerd con today with some of my friends and it was amazing!

Most people were in Cosplays and it ranged from classics like Wizards and stuff like that to Gru (Minion Gru obvi) in the fairy outfit.

On top of that there were just so many amazing things to look at! Books, merch, daggers, crowns, jewellery, bookmarks, little 3D printed dragons, life sized Gojo, etc.

We had so much fun, even tho the prices were a bit ridiculous.

I bought a crown, because I'm a pretty princess ✨🎀 (note the sarcasm) and a ring, that I thought my girlfriend would like ✨

Funny story tho:

We had just entered the con, and we're like ten meters in when a little girl came up to us and asked for a picture with my friend, who was in her cosplay. The last time that happend, someone thought that she was the adult version of said cosplay... she was thirteen.

Anyway! Here's my fit!

It's nothing special but I liked it. You can't really see it but I had like a ton of little silver rings in my hair to match the jewellery ✨

My girlfriend drew us as cartoon characters and it turned out so adorable! She’s so precious and she did such an amazing job!🥰

(I’m the taller one in the skirt, and she’s the shorter one with the bag… she always complains about being short, but I think it’s cute (psst don’t tell her))

Can someone please explain to me why I thought it would be fun to take French class… Oh wait! I didn’t have a choice ✨

Anyway. Now I’m sitting here studying for a French test tomorrow, trying to cover an impossible amount of ground in the little time I have. And I’m not even kidding. This shit has final exam potential! But! Guess what!:

We have an actual French exam next week…

Are you kidding me? What otherworldly malicious entity has driven our teacher to such cruel and unusual punishment? Couldn’t she have waited for like the actual exam? But no… She’s been having us hold presentations in a language we barely speak just for funsies and now she makes us take a test, even tho the literal exam isn’t even a week away!

So… My girlfriend and I read this webtoon (I started it because she recommended it), but she’s a few episodes ahead because she has a fast pass and I don’t. Anyway, today a new episode dropped and I read it pretty early. I just came back from practice and we were texting and she mentioned recreating one of the scenes from her new episode, which I obviously haven’t read, so I asked what she wanted to recreate, but she wouldn’t tell me! Which… the audacity!✨

Yeah well.. my result was to call her pet names she’s never heard me use, to try to get it out of her (which failed by the way… how? I would have given in in an instant!). I tried everything to get her to tell me, and was honestly a bit worried about annoying her to much… But she still won’t tell me! So I have to wait for another few weeks to find out! How am I supposed to survive this!
