The first stanza, for example:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
Si tu peux voir détruit l’ouvrage de ta vie
Et sans dire un seul mot te mettre à rebâtir,
Ou perdre d’un seul coup le gain de cent parties
Sans un geste et sans un soupir ;
It's got style, it's got flair (it's "The Nanny"?); c'est doux et moins brutal, on dirait...
Anyway, I've decided to use my last 2 semesters to finish off the French Extended Minor I started years ago. Something like:
Spring:
- FREN 301 Advanced French Composition
- FREN 230 Introduction to French-Canadian Literature
- FREN 360 Intermediate French Literature
- FREN 370 Introduction to French Linguistics II
- MACM 316 Numerical Analysis
- FREN 474 French Poetry
- FREN 410 French Stylistics
(You say: "Well Angelica, it's too late for that, now, isn't it?")
eheh... *cough*

Watch out, or you'll end up like Trevor, wanting to do more and more on your degree and never graduating.
Noah: Yeah, well it's kind of embarassing that even with a year in France, I still make written grammar mistakes like a 12-yr-old msn'ing to her friends (ala "c koi ca",etc). So really, it's just about "la honte".
