The GOOD & BAD THREAD (VI)

[darthkiwi]

THE GOOD: Finished an essay yesterday evening that had to be handed in today So this afternoon is now free!
THE BAD: My friend who I was going to meet up with for tea is indisposed, so the afternoon cannot be spent with them
THE GOOD: Listening to the New World Symphony instead This is beauty!!!
THE UTTERLY WONDERFUL:

The ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL: Potential meeting in Paris with Delling and Darthkiwi in December. I say Versailles and pushing idiots into the Seine.
The GOOD: I'm doing a bit better.
The GOOD: Did I mention I have the bestestestest boyfriend in the world?

*Glee!*

[Haids1987]

THE YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY: My hell is over--the family I've been house sitting for came home today!

*Starts dancing around like a madwoman*

[Deloria]

The GOOD: Remember that bestestestest boyfriend I was talking about? He sent me chocolates. And a postcard of something Gothic and pretty.
The BAD: Three more exams this week.
The BAD: I have an absurdly early and long day tomorrow (13 hours).
The BAD: Econ is so horribly boring. The dialect in the video I have to watch for the class is absolutely ridiculous and entertaining in equal measure though. They have an accusative. Also, the buildings are pretty and neo-classical.  
The GOOD: I get physics!

Awwww!

If by Econ, you mean economics (and I don't know what else it would mean), I totally agree - at least for the introductory stuff. I took it in college, and I was so bored that I was trying to derive the equations they were using. I quit going to class and only showed up for exams. It's too bad I was taking it pass/fail, because I would have had an A anyway.

I do, indeed, mean economics. The one exam I've taken so far went fairly well, but the class is just so horribly dull.

[snabbott]

I thought so, but I couldn't figure out what the accusative case and buildings have to do with economics. 

I just looked up Accusative - I had always assumed that the subjective case in English was equivalent to nominative and that the objective case was equivalent to accusative. Apparently, the objective case is actually a combination of accusative and dative.

THE GOOD: This singer I discovered on youtube.  She's amazing!
THE GOOD: Already Tuesday evening, jeez.
THE BAD: Mom just came in and told me that she's getting a migraine.   Poor thing.

Glad you like the chocolates And that they survived the trip!

Hope the long day and looming exams aren't too soul-shattering.

Yaaaay for physics comprehension!

THE GOOD: I have an empty day today so I can do lots and lots of work!
THE BAD: I have an empty day today so I can do lots and lots of work...
THE GOOD: Played the Fidelio Overture and Schubert's Unfinished Symphony (1st movement) in our orchestra yesterday *and it sounded good*

Well, they were talking in the video. In a very odd dialect with an accusative. Something my dialect does not have (we just have the nominative and the dative and we use a dative possessive instead of the genitive and use the nominative articles where the accusative should be. We also don't distinguish between "gold" and "golden" in this dialect).

[snabbott]

No offense, but from your description, your dialect sounds odd. Though probably no more odd than English sounds to someone whose native language is declined.

[Deloria]

Lots of languages have a dative of possession. But yes, I suppose mine rather is.

THE UTTERLY WONDERFUL:

But I think we should wait until things have calmed down before purchasing tickets.

[darthkiwi]

I obey you in all things, your grace

[Deloria]

The BAD: We may be mistaken for violent rioters if we push idiots into the Seine.
The GOOD: I have a cat.
The BAD: I also have a physics midterm tomorrow.

[Delling]

The BAD: We may be mistaken for violent rioters if we push idiots into the Seine.

...or we may cause violent riots...

[snabbott]

It might depend on the idiot to non-idiot ratio.
