I’m sure there’s a default setting in Calendar to get notified about events that repeat every year. seriously though, I hope you aren’t still working. I ... am? Seriously, I have to, I have many assignments right now, and it is better I do them now that the memory is fresh than later. But I will not do much during the actual holidays. I am also just chatting with a colleague about possibly doing an additional assignment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should be having fun and/or prepping for Christmas. good idea! Additional assignments? Over the holidays? You’re killing me. Well I hope you’re doing this because you enjoy it.

If so then I guess you do you glad to hear that! Yes, it is kind of sad. Nobody has time to spend it with me, so I end up working because I don't have much else to do. How does one even prepare for a free day? It is just a free day. I wrapped a gift and set up a tree, and that is about it. We are going to visit family tomorrow. I also don't really care about Christmas. I am glad we are spending it with family, but I see my family often enough anyway, so that is not all that special. I wish I had somebody apart from my parents to spend New Year's Eve with, but I don't (the last two years was with supernatural entity). I finished with today's work when I posted that. But really ... if you have an assignment due on 4th January, when I am supposed to do it, if not during the holidays? Pretty much the whole time before that is the holidays.

Well I hope you’re doing this because you enjoy it. If so then I guess you do you glad to hear that! Yeah, although not sure about the upcoming days! These holidays are not really "holidays" for me. I have exams on January, starting in two weeks. And it's a total madness. This but more importantly, a uni project that has to be done specifically during these days (it ended up being a macro project and now it's never-ending) and extra classes keep me away from doing other stuff or going away from this city, thus I will socialize much much less than I initially had planned to and cancel those things.... well, at least my best friend is someone whose meetups have not been cancelled...just 4 days...after 4 months we just have to meet yes or yes.

The spelling and pronunciation are much easier than in English. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Problem is, I have not immersed myself enough so as to find the spelling (in terms of long words especially) as easier as French or English are for me.

That is not good that you feel like that, but at least you will spend Christmas with your family. If it makes you feel a bit better my NYE will be pretty dull too, my fiancée is going back to her homeland to visit her family for a week on the 27th!, so all I will be doing on NYE is chilling with mini Sith, who will spend midnight being fast asleep-I’m hoping so anyway!.

I heard Latin itself was very complicated with inflections and such.

I imagine New Year's eve with a baby must be tough because of all the cracker nonsense and fireworks going on. I don't know how the situatiom regarding pyrotechnics is in your country. Here we get a horrible amount of noise that night, it sounds like in the middle of a battle for like half an hour after midnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t know, it is my first one with a baby, she wasn’t too bad on the 5th of November, but she is actually quite a good sleeper as far as babies go, when she’s out she’s out and not much seems to wake her up but when she’s awake she lets you know about it very quickly and loudly!.

Too complicated and it was not available as a course for me since I chose the Scientific branch the last two years before uni (I was not very interested, either). But I've heard that knowing the mechanisms of Latin makes learning German easier. Quote Actually, both English and French are harder to spell correctly than German. Indeed, but I spent more years learning them German...just 4 months, 6 hours per week circa. Quote I am fine.

Here we get a horrible amount of noise that night, it sounds like in the middle of a battle for like half an hour after midnight. Oh, interesting you all talk about pyrothecnics. In my city we don't have that. Well, technically yes, but only in The Montjuïc Fountains, though, where they make a show with the colours of the waters, like the one they do during the Festivities of the city. It doesn't last as much than then, though. Never been there, but I think it includes the grapes tradition and music (at least in the Festivities of the city it's a Pyrothecnic musical show). The real tradition is eating 12 grapes while the bells of a bell tower sound as 12 o'clock of the 1st of January sound; one for each bell sound. They do the same throughout all Spain, and there in Barcelona as well. The real all-night heavy "end-of-the-world" pyrotechnics here are in the night of St. John's Eve, in Catalonia and part of the Mediterranean Coast, the night of the 23rd-24th of June, with bonfires, etc. as a celebration of the solstice.
