School, school, school



Today it seems that I have been lacking in the sleep area and my mind decided without my permission to ignore my alarm clock and sleep in. Yep, I missed both of my classes today because I over-slept. I will say I am now at a Starbucks trying to get some kind of school work down... while also playing Cafe World on Facebook.. and chatting with my sister... and updating my applications for my Iphone... We can easily see that my whole focus on school work isn't working out very well. BUT, I did get some flashcards made for my Iphone for my French class... score! I did get something done today.

I have work later today and only have.. lets see.. an hour left here before I need to head home and start getting ready for work. Blah, blah blah... that's what I think about work right now..

But back to my hopeful school work....

With this flashcard application, I can put all of my french vocab in an excel document (numbers if you are Mac user like me) and magically turn them into wonderful flashcards that I can carry around in my phone and use anywhere... the trick is putting all these words in the document. French words... using an english keyboard.... you see the small problem??

My french vocab have all these accents that I cannot create on an english keyboard, but lucky me I have the capability to turn my keyboard into a french one.... which is a lot to get use to.

The 'Q' is no longer where it says it is
on my side..it has switched to where the 'A' is, the 'M' has moved along with the 'Z' and 'W' . Talk about a lot of backspacing. And the wonderful accents like: é, à, è, and anything with ^.... I think it took me twice as long to make these flashcards than it should have.

This is what I was looking at all day...
