William Matheson's Journal - July 23rd, 2007

02:04 pm - La Femme Peintre

In another instalment of Learn Time Management The Fun and Easy Way with William Matheson, I stayed up more than half the night writing this short story in French. It was a tremendous learning experience, with tenses, vocabulary, genders, pronouns and prepositions (for the most part still misused, but I learned a little)... last night I might as well have been back at Sainte-Anne. It's fun to get out sometimes and learn some things on your own, but I must throw some water on the romantic notion of the thing and remind myself and everyone that it's an awful lot of work.

That being said, here's the story. Enjoy, and please don't hesitate to correct my grammar or suggest improvements to my style! I'll post the translation next week - if I posted it now, everybody would just read the translation and nobody would learn anything! =)
