Citoyenne la traductrice jacobine

Well, here I am again: I really ought to be packing for my trip to New York tomorrow, but I couldn't deal with it any longer, so was forced to make an attempt at a (short) entry.

Someone spilled the juice from an orange that was on a plate on the table on (one of) my biography(ies) of Robespierre. The irony is killing me.

In other news, Ariel will be gone to Singapore next semester, and I've spent the last, I don't know how long translating "Autour de Robespierre: Le Conventionnel Le Bas" from French into English and making a power point presentation on characters (non-fictional) who will be appearing in my novel. I really need to make an outline for that.

I do hope tomorrow's trip goes all right. The last thing I need is to get into another row with my sister.

Partie-Socialiste: I just finished Quatre-vingt-treize by Victor Hugo. I won't give anything away, but it really has a sad and moving ending. And speaking of sad and moving, I am reminded that I need to read some Zola. Perhaps Lolotte will lend me her copy of The Debacle.

Oops... I forgot one teensy thing... My annoying sister has had a psychological breakdown and is staying here for the semester (ugh!).

Also, Santina just called and she can't go hiking today, which means I'm stuck going just with by Dad (and dog). Just GREAT. I'm sorry... what was I trying to say?

In other news... I'm switching down from the impossible class that is Geom/Alg2a! Yay! And if I didn't do well on my French final I'm going to kill myself!!! [try not to take that too literally]

Anyways...

I'm Eponine!
Spunky, resourceful, and fearless, I don't take a lot of guff from the world, and sometimes I'm kind of freaky. Secretly, though, I just want to be loved in spite of my attitude and my goofy hat. Which Les Miserables Character Are You?
