German Project Results & Pet Peeves

I presented my oral assignment on Tuesday and got my results this morning and the mark is ........... 80%!!!!! Good thing I listened to myself with this and didn't give in to silly worries. This is one of those many times that I wish Jiyong oppa had Twitter so I could thank him but alas the YG family doesn't really believe in Twitter T.T I hope that my presentation got some people interested in Kpop and Jiyong oppa specifically but I'm not going to hold my breathe on that, I know how North American people are. My prof seemed surprised that my pronunciation was so good. That could have something to do with the facts that I'm never in class and when I am I rarely talk. It always amuses me how people are so surprised by my accent in foreign languages being so good because I don't even notice anymore. I'm always surprised by how bad most peoples accents are. It's odd to me that they can't hear that they're not saying things right because I've never had any trouble with speaking in foreign languages. Actually learning the languages however is a nightmare because most grammar is super hard for me to memorize, especially Romantic languages, and it takes a lot for me to remember vocabulary unless I hear it in songs or dramas like Korean and Japanese.
That leads me into the other thing I wanted to talk about .... pet peeves. I think I have more pet peeves than most people but I'm also very passive aggressive about them so it's not usually an issue. One is loud people. I can't stand loud people and I always have. It could be because of the migraines so I'm more sensitive to sound than most people but loud people just drive me up the wall. I can't understand why they can't control the volume of their voice. It also amazes me that some girls seem to think that leggings are the same as pants. They're not. At all. It's always people who are unattractive and/or don't have the body to be wearing leggings as pants even if that was ok. I don't get it, I really don't. Leggings are what you wear under dresses/skirts/long T-shirts etc, they are not a replacement for pants. We can see everything when you wear just leggings from underwear to a lack of and it's repulsive really it is. I'm getting angry just thinking about this so I'm going to stop before I say something I'll regret.

*German Final on Monday so I should probably start reviewing T.T*
