If he was living there, he would have been like 10 years old. I don't know if he was. I know that he got his university degreen in Canada. He revealed his age when he told us he had a part time job at the Montreal World Expo in 1967. He apparently had a francophone girlfriend, and so that's when he began learning French in earnest. ;)
Yes, I do indeed know French. :) I've been studying it since kindergarten, and from grade 2 onwards, all of my classes (minus English) were in French. At least until grade ten, but then I still had all of my sciences in French. To this day, I struggle with big numbers in English, and I have no idea about English chemical names. D:
Oh GOD CURVES. D: Professor Szabo told us on the first day that he "believes in curves, just not on grades." Then he made a hand gesture. ;)
In all honestly, you don't get curves in English, History or language classes very often. Mostly because really, you know it or you don't. I'm eternally grateful that they don't believe in torturing their students in the arts faculty. D:
The curve freaks me out. I've only had two curved classes, though. I'm still in one of them: Psychology. The sciency first year one. D: I'm doing pretty good so far (like, 87%), but that's prior to the final exam and the curving. The other curved class I had, though, was Art History, last semester, because there was like 500 people in the class. I got an A+. XD I am immensely proud of this fact. Mostly it was because I came to class, kept up with the readings, and actually studied for the midterm and final. That was all that we had marked. 40% of our grade and 60%. It was stressfull, but it makes my GPA look so lovely... <3
