Watching My Language

I'm feeling slightly better today... Still have a headache, though, and my sleep schedule's completely out of whack now, so I'm not sure whether I'm going to go in to work tonight or not. We'll see. At some point, at least, I am going to have to put some clothes on and go to the grocery store, because I need "feminine hygiene products." And orange juice.

In the meantime, I think I'm just going to sit quietly here in front of my computer and entertain my poor headachy brain however I can. Given that my brain has strange ideas of what's entertaining, I've had it doing more quizzes, this time to test your language skills in Spanish and French.

I got 10/10 on the Spanish. It'd be inaccurate to say that I speak Spanish, but I can read it pretty well. I'm not gonna be picking up Cervantes in the original or anything, but I can usually (if slowly) make my way through a newspaper article.

On the other hand, I scored 8/10 on the French, which I do not speak at all. I am capable of recognizing the meanings of a few isolated French words, either from having picked them up somewhere or because they're similar to Spanish or English words, and several times the one word I recognized would appear in one of the multiple-choice options and not the others, which made it a pretty easy test.
