only literature students make friends by telling a classmate “i loved your analysis of this obscure book’s title yesterday, really impressive! wanna be friends?”
im so glad my analysis skills didnt completely vanish omg
Update: i just had a class about the history of french orthography and my inner 10 yo child obsessed with The Right Spelling In Every Word is living their absolute best life
(In middeschool i wanted to be a lexicologist lmao my dreams were…….. quite something)
We all got tricked by some 9th century Italian riddle can you imagine???? youre a fucking 9th century italian monk writing a quirky riddle and CENTURIES later college students are STILL pranked by your fucking riddle can you IMAGINE omg i love literature
Also ive decided not to be shy around girls anymore since, yknow, got nothing to lose anymore & i chatted a bit with a really pretty girl who is in several of my classes, cause life goes on, right
girls and books: im literally living The Ultimate Dream i wanted SO BADLY for my WHOLE LIFE this is so awesome
Also…….. s/o to those french monks from the 9th century who started to write (oral) french with the latin alphabet cause lmao it was 100% not adapted since half of the french sounds didnt exist in latin and therefore ended up writing things like “gié” for “je” – yall are the reason the french language is Written Like This
one the one hand, you were linguistic macgyvers and did your best with what you had
one the other hand, you’re hated by generations of french children & non-french speakers learning the language across the world
so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Update: im doing a presentation on gender in Jean Genet’s work with said pretty girl!!! Like, wow!
