Because it wasn’t hard enough already?

Yesterday the director of L’Ecole L’Etoile told the four people in my class that we’re going to be combined into another class that’s more advanced than the one we’re in.  Yikes!  Beginning April 1st, our current teacher will start teaching a new group of complete beginners (les debutantes), and the four of us will join the advanced group.  To speed us along, the school is giving us an hour long session in the mornings at no extra charge to drill us on additional grammar, especially verb tenses.  Yikes!  Today I was in school from 11:30–12:30, had a half hour break for lunch, and then was back in class from 1–3, as usual.  I just thought my brain was tired before.  Maybe I can pay the school extra to not take the morning class?!?  Extra grammar, extra homework, extra confusion.  I’m certainly learning, or at least taking in data quickly.  I’m not certain how much I’ve assimilated.  I feel like I’m in a movie I saw in Gifted and Talented in 8th grade called Donald in Mathemagic Land where Donald Duck travels through time and learns the Pythagorean theorem and how to calculate angles for billiards and the golden mean and it has all these mathematical symbols moving around all the time.  Or was that in Little Man Tate?  See, I told you I was confused.  Now I can’t tell whether my memories of 8th grade are memories, or are a movie.  Yikes!  Did anyone else see the Donald movie?  I’m listening to Miss Billie Holliday singing and the apartment smells wonderfully of the new scented candles I bought yesterday and at sunset there were six mourning doves in the freshly leaved tree outside.  C’est la vie.
