What I should be doing is writing a French paper on the uses of steel, how it's made and its general characteristics. What I am actually doing; sorting the papers that have slowly taken over any available working space, staring intently at the computer screen, popping onto every available link that is on my bookmarks and driving Hugin to distraction by demanding that he make a decision on what we should eat tonight as I am supposed to be writing a paper, poor guy. [wry smile] Ah the joys of procrastination and mild hypocrisy.
Luckily the paper only has to be 300 words long, which leads me to the next question. How the heck am I going to fit all that information in there and make it sound somewhat decent in horribly broken French? [My mind feels like it wrapped around a huge potato as it tries to form grammatically correct sentences, when all it seems to have at its disposable is a level of French that can only be described as kindergarten proficiency, or so it feels like at the moment.]
