Carmen

I've decided that I really do love the French language. Even though I scraped by with a C in the class, and hated every minute of it. I think the main problem was the teacher, not the language. Or maybe it was my unwillingness to study. I'm not sure. But, while Latin is fun, and I'll keep up with it, a part of me wishes that I had kept up on French. Maybe I'll try it again later in life, when I'm rich and famous. Yes, it is a beautiful language. Especially when sung. In opera. Yes! I admit it! I like opera! I had my playlist on random, and part of Carmen came on... And I didn't skip it. I couldn't skip it. So I started at the beginning and I've been listening ever since. I think it's what I'm going to be listening to for a week or two, just so I have a chance to absorb the whole work. It's going to screw up my audioscrobbler statistics terribly, but I just don't care, because it's that good. Give it a listen if you have a chance and you're feeling open-minded.
