a) stuff. I mean. I'm trying to talk. You know. In French. Like, actually in French. Like, asking the teacher if I remembered correctly that air pores in concrete increase frost resistance because they are isolated bubbles of air, but that excess water results in the formation of capillary pores which can soak up water again and so reduce frost resistance.

b) Législation sociale: 13/20 :(

c) Annette Wieviorka, historienne, dans une des émissions que j'écoute quotidiennement, parlant de l'ouverture des archives du régime de Vichy au public: "Ça va faciliter les choses, ça va être beaucoup moins chronophage, tout à la fois pour les chercheurs et pour les sérvices d'archives et ça va permettre a tout un chacun d'aller y consulter. Par exemple, si vous avez quelqu'un de votre famille, un aïeul qui était pris dans cette procédure, soit parce qu'il était résistant, communiste, collaborateur, [...] vous pourrez, si vous avez envie de collecter l'histoire de votre famille, aller consulter facilement ces archives. Si [vous] voulez faire une étude sur tel ou tel aspet de la justice d'exception pendant l'occupation ou après, vous pouvez aussi aller dans ces archives."
I just like the word chronophage. The dictionary says it means time-consuming, but I want it also to mean "eating up a people's knowledge of their own history".
Also totally couldn't catch that one bit. )= If anybody is willing to try, or check if I got the rest right: Soundcloud

d) Maybe I'm just too lazy. Maybe it would be better to look up everything. Maybe it would be better to drill.

"Ce n'est pas ton truc" Das ist nicht (so) deine Sache/dein Ding.
IDEK. Did I write something about learning Western European with different sets of words?

Last episode of Science Publique is about CRISPR/Cas9, which is kinda pretty cool.

Yesterday I wrote several pages for Matériaux de Construction, but other than that, still no word yet. Don't know what to write about.

A: Il fait froid ici.
A: Avant les vacances, quand il ne faisait trop froid, le chauffage marchait bien.

French exam for this semester. Oh well. I think I did okay in the passive parts, and written expression ... oh well. It's probably a bit better than it used to be.

Didn't count the words though, will add those and the ones for the application for construction materials when I get them back.

Also, because I should be studying for my other exams:

Tu dessines bien, mais si tu as pris le temps de faire ce dessin je ne suis pas sûr que tu aies écouté le cours. ;)

Mais bien sûr! Il a parlé des carottes ... peut-être ...

Trêve des plaisanteries, le prof parlait des carottes de glace et il faisait des blagues sure les carottes de terre, et ma camerade, l'autre Allemande, l'a malcompris. Pour moi, dessiner pendant j'écoute le cours pose aucun problem, mais le bruit de fond de mes camerades français, ça c'est autre chose!
