the french contest at school didn’t work due to tech issues and kept saying “you are not allowed to take this course” and now I’m just sitting in the gazebo outside the library bc it’s raining and existentially pondering if I am, in fact, allowed to take french
It was during French class, at the end of a standardized testing day. We were playing a game of chaud et froid, or hot and cold. A student is looking for a rock. There are twenty other students chanting décontracté (it means casual) while we are waiting for the first student to get the idea to go through a kid’s hair.
