I suck now at English.
I've had to write 2 essays in English today and they've both come out as fairly flimsy demonstrations of what I'm capable of. For example, I'm sure I could've used a better word than "demonstrations" there.
I keep on getting to a point where I hear the rhythm of the word I want and even guess a few of the letters, but I have no more idea what the actual word is, so I have to negotiate it by using a synonym. It's even more tantalising because every now and then I'm sure the word actually comes to me but it's gone almost as quickly as I can react and say "that's it!"
At the moment I'm trying to think of a word, 3 syllables, I think, that means a group or category someone belongs to... I'm getting mnemonic, cryogenic, statistic,... none of them are right...
Argh!

and "example" for demonstrations.
not that i really can say anything...i'm not exceptional at english--and i have no excuse. it's my first (and really only) language. you do just fine.
though i thought i'd already thanked you previously, i see that i've failed horribly. thank you so much for the sweets you sent!!!
cadbury chocolate is my absolute favorite. when i opened the package and saw a bar of it there....i about died. it was eaten immediately. then i tried the little fruity gummy things--always a treat. though the french version were more chewy and less leathery than most american gummy candies. i set aside the choco-mint bar for weeks. i don't really like mint, but i finally decided that i would try it in the spirit of broadening my international experiences...
wow! for choco-mint, that was amazing! the little bubbles in it were like nothing i'd ever had before. so thank you thank you thank you for taking the time and caring enough to send me those candies. they were greatly appreciated. i wanted to send something back, but the address provided was for america, and i figured you wouldn't be there by the time the package arrived.
if you get a chance, try ghirardelli chocolate. it's amazingly smooth, and comes in many flavors. it is, by far, my favorite american chocolate. screw the godiva, go ghirardelli.
i'll miss you. i would still be gone but someone bought me a guest account. why are you leaving?
