oh dear.
I'm supposed to go on a bus trip tomorrow and I'm 90% sure it leaves from the state library. But i have no proof or phone numbers and i'm not even sure they have me on the list. crapitycrap.

I woke up this morning and it was daylight. I honestly thought "oh how lovely, saturday already."
And then Dad thumped on my door again, asking if I was staying home sick. Apparently it's still Thursday. And the sun still comes up at 6.15, by which time I already need to be at the bus stop.

Also, both my 4 gig usb sticks have gone walkabout. REALLY NOT A GOOD DAY. MUST TRY HARDER.

Meeting caity tomorrow after my bus trip. Assuming I get there. I suppose I can nick off to caity's if I miss the bus...

Oh hey, I turned back a page and found some much more interesting options. Yay! Still, I should totally write my Russian homework in French one day. But using Russian grammatical endings and Cyrillic characters, because if I did that very carefully then chunks of it might in fact end up as weird but borderline-comprehensible Russian. True facts.

A School Services Officer should never tire of seeing homework done, surely. :op

"weird but borderline-comprehensible Russian" sounds like an excellent result from french.
I wonder how many languages you can do that to? that is, how many lanaguages are almost the same but have different characters?

*giggle* Not many, I imagine! It would only work if I used as many loanwords as I could cram together, and then only very occasionally. But there are a lot of French loanwords in Russian. And a lot of similar borrowings in both languages from English.
