So tomorrow is my first oral exam. I thought in a purely narcissistic way, that everyone would enjoy betting on my performance. Let me tell you the variables.
The situation: I will need to do a presentation of a topic I prepared myself. I have chosen Les Beurs. The powerpoint is copy/pasted text from the wikipedia.fr entry on Les Beurs. (Les Beurs are the second generation immigrant youth of France. The ones who are all pissed off at the moment, or well, have been for years. Another part of the exam will be that I will need to answer a question based on the cirriculum. I've only have paid attention in class. And I didn't read any of the literature assigned. So here's hoping...
The teacher is new. The old one went to Colombia to adopt a child or something. So this is a good possibility. She doesn't know I'm a slacker with no motivation to do anything.
My french was alright a year ago. I really stopped caring, or thinking about French by any means, this past year. So it's anybody's guess how well I'll do.
So, anyone who gets closest to the actual result, gets an exclamation mark in their general direction.
So the results with the possibility I might get them, I'll divide them into 3 groups.
Failed (00-5) Very small chance I will get this. If you are right you get a lot of exclamation marks for guessing this one!
Alright (6-9) Highest possibility I will fall into this category.
Excellent (10-13) A rather small chance I will fall into this one.
