Currently working on Statistics exercises. It's one of my worst subjects ever but I think I'm slowly getting the hang of it. Let's hope so, because the exam is tomorrow morning.

And Wednesday morning is the Inorganic Chemistry I exam.

Wish me luck, folks.

See ya,
Anna.

Fascinating! I'd never heard that about French students, but in the dance world here, they say merde before going on stage -- as an alternative to "break a leg". Which I always found amusing, because the first time I learned it was in the swear word context. :-)

it's actually part of our "swear material 101" kit!

they say it in dance world as well? that's cool! I mean...as far as I can remember, each time I had exam, an audition (music world), a concert (also music), a job interview, a battle (as in fetching), a well: dance on stage (hobby) or some difficult things to do, friends or relatives always went: Merde!

oops! second part of reply didn't show up:

yeah, so they all go telling me "Merde"!

first time I was like: huh? what happened to "good luck, sweetie!"?

and they'll tell me about that superstitionof ours that saying it *before*/ you took or passed the thing was bad luck. But less people do it now.
