classes are finished

I seem to remember this being a very exstatic blog entry last year: i'm not sure i can match the enthusiasm of being done with freshman classes, so i won't try, but woo hoo! - how's that??

I went to some theses presentations for chemistry and biochemistry today and it made me realize that i sort of wish i could do that senior year.. it seems really hard and the actual process seems toilsome, but there was something really amazing about how tight knit the group of seniors were and how sweet all the professors were when they presented the students with their awards. I think expecially the guys just dressed up and their parents coming to watch all seemed really nice: like having something that you've done all on your own and can be like "ta-da!". I'm not sure if i really want to do it in chemistry or biochemistry because it seems to involve alot of what i've been doing in labs for the past year which is a lot of mixing things and pipetting.. but at the same time right now that's all i feel like i'm really good at. I guess a year in France might make me feel more linked to my French major: but at the same time i really can't see it having the same feel.

I should really be reading my biology textbook right now.. but i've just been reading the same chapter about.. what was it about.. oh God this can't be good- the nucleus.. ok it was definitly about the nucleus and nuclear transport or something. Organelles turned out to be alot more interesting than i thought. I think if there was any fairly feasible way of being a biology or biochem major still i might try it, but i couldn't go to France for the year and i think ultimatley i could always decide to go back and do more bio if i don't go to med school and don't feel like continuing on my french path. (mom: i'm sort of starting to understand why it took you so long to finish undergrad)

ok.. i'll do work.

1) "I seem to remember this being a very exstatic blog entry last year: i'm not sure i can match the enthusiasm of being done with freshman classes, so i won't try, but woo hoo! - how's that??"

2) Now translated into Russian:
Я, кажется, помним этот являющийся очень эксстатическим blog входом в прошлом году: я не уверен, что я могу соответствовать энтузиазму того, чтобы быть сделанным с классами новичка, таким образом я не буду пробовать, но добиваться ого-го! - как - это??

3) Now to French:
Je, semble, nous rappelons celui-ci étant très exstatique blog par l'entrée l'année passée : je ne suis pas sûr que je peux correspondre à l'enthousiasme de pour être fait avec les classes du débutant, ainsi je n'essaierai pas, mais obtenir ого-го! - comme est ? ?
[You may notice that the French to not know what to make of the exclamation "ogo-go"]

4) And back to English:
I, seem, we remind this one being very exstatic blog by the entrance last year: I am not sure that I can correspond to enthusiasm of to be made with the classes of the beginner, so I shall not try, but acquire ого-го! - how is??

Frankly, this is not all that funny. I can't believe you made me waste all this time and space. You act like I don't have better things to do than completely non-creative cut-and-paste activities. Seriously, Laurel, have some respect.
