I think this is a problem with a lot of my classes. I've made a bigger effort to not think about the grades, but instead how I felt about my preparation and how I felt taking it.

I also think classes with real life applications are better. For example, in my tax class we have to volunteer and file tax returns for underprivileged people in the community. Because I was doing people's real tax returns (very scary at first!!) I was more motivated to master the material.

I totally relate to this. When I was in elementary school, I wanted to be an author when I grew up. Writing was fun and creative to me! In middle school, when our writing began to get graded, I suddenly started disliking it. Compared to my other classes, I didn't do as well on my writing assignments, so still to this day I get really anxious whenever I have to write anything!

Olaf has caused so much trouble in his life! I feel so bad for Balthazar.

Mais, Ils ont tous deux des affaires. C'est bizarre!

Il est un miracle! Odette dit son nom!

Balthazar used to be so confident and independent. The fact that he needs to have moral support (soutenir le moral) shows how much Olaf's review has affected him.

Il est intéressant de voir comment une mauvaise chose peut rendre tout le monde dit de mauvaises choses. Pourquoi?
