Loose Ends

Consider this post as Al’s way of tying up some loose ends. The last couple of weeks I’ve been more self-absorbed than usual and, to be honest, haven’t had much to say au sujet du Québec. But for those who are interested in the daily happenings of my routine, I wanted to let you know that, yes, the bank did manage to correct my balance and return to me the money that had been scammed by those evil card skimmers. And no, there were no bounced cheques in the meantime, so all is well in that respect.

I continue scratch and claw my way through my English-to-French translation course with varied results. I had thought that I was finally turning a corner last week when I received back my first ‘A’, only to be smacked back to reality this week when I got back a ‘C’ right before the midterm. Nothing like a confidence booster right before the midterm to get your mind in the right place, eh?

My French-to-English class has been far more consistent, in terms of performance. I’m holding down a pretty solid ‘A’ average, which will help me pull up my average from that nastiness in the other class. But to be honest, I’m thinking that I should cut back to one class at a time while working full-time from now on. Sure, it would be nice to get it out of the way sooner than later, but I’m finding myself feeling a bit burnt out trying to juggle everything. As Morgan often advises, it’s best for me to take fewer courses and really get my head around the concept, rather than doing a half-ass job.

Alright, that’s all for now. Til next time…
