My Obsession

RSS

By Veracity •

I enter the classroom At exactly 1:00 I sit in my usual seat Waiting for class to begin French class This is my obsession I pull my text book out And pull my homework out of it Next to me My friend is rambling on about a movie Another behind me is frantically trying To do the previous nights homework Finally Madame enters the room Class begins We all do the usual Go over the homework Take notes Read in our text books However, I do the unusual Unlike anyone else I speak in french And I am blind to the effects That this creates around me Usually I speak in french By asking questions to Madame like "Comment dit-on 'se laver' en anglais?" And sometimes, things like "Vous aimez le café au lait?" And always The others look at me Like they've never seen me before And I think to myself What's wrong with me? Now I know A couple of times People in my french class Have said to me "You can speak English" Or sometimes "Just beacause it's french class Doesn't mean you have to speak french" And I always answer "I like to speak french. Is that a crime?" And they say (with a weird look on their faces) "Yes, it is" Madame doesn't have a problem She likes the fact that I speak french in class Of course she speaks french too But, she's the teacher She always speaks french Madame told me many times That out of all of her French 2 students (And she teaches two French 2 classes) That I'm the best speaker of french But I always say no No I'm not That's just not true Now I know what my problem is What makes me different from everyone else What makes the others look at me weird Why Madame seems so fond of me My problem you ask? Is the fact that I love to speak french Speaking french This is my problem French class This is my obsession This is my obsession And this is what makes me feel like a loser

I liked it! It's so true about french class. I don't speak french that often, but I don't mind doing it. NEVER let your obsession make you feel like a loser. I like things that no one else does, so people call me weird. I respond to their statement by telling them that they're just too normal. :)

french class was my best class in all of highschool. it was my favourite class and the only one i ever paid attention to. i loved to use my second language in class and in school, at the mall, and everywhere i went. often to harass bitchy servers at restuarnts and stuff but. you're not a lsoer man. french class pwns. french in itself is the best.
