Class nonsenses #4

For context, we needed to do 10 verbs in all their tenses each day for 2 weeks- you can imagine the size of this thing. So, for aid, I made a document for our little group, where I added the verbs each day after we made them, and where the initial page has all the meanings of each verb. Well, the documents had a good reception for the most part, except for one that annoyed me greatly:

"You need to put all the verbs in minuscule letter"

... He was talking about the page with all the meanings... because it's the direct translation of the words.

"The verbs are in minuscule, it's the page with the meanings that are not, it's the translations, not the infinitive tense per se."

"I don't understand, a verb with the first letter in majuscule, it perturbs me."

BOY, IT'S THE TRANSLATIONS! Seriously I spent more than 3 whole ass hours doing the document for the damned meanings page to be criticized? I can just delete your access to it, the three of us are happy with it.

My god, beggars and choosers.

Blödsinn phrases #1

Phrase: Hien ass hanner Schieren.

Translation: He's beside Schieren.

You'd think it's finished, but no, second translation: He's in the Psychiatric Hospital of Ettelbruck.

Schieren is a city besides Ettelbruck. Boy ain't good in the head and was hospitalized. ...

Why not say it already?

Class nonsenses #3

.... Passing 4 minutes listening to someone saying they're not coming on the next day but having 1001 excuses for not wanting to inform the Institute when it's obligatory to prevent our company if it's the case. o.o o.o o.o o.o o.o o.o o.o o.o o.o o.o o.o Just... miss... the... class. Are you excusing yourself for missing? Do you want a pat? I mean, what do you want the teacher to do, say you're in class when you can be caught outside?? Just send an e-mail, it takes less time than the 4 minutes we just lost. Am I going crazy? Jesus, I want out of here.

Class nonsenses #2

"Today, you'll have a test to train your writing."

Test goes on for the entire duration of the Zoom class, files are sent to be corrected the next day... And they are entirely forgotten, the teacher doesn't know where the files are, one test and half are kindly forgotten, in the middle of correcting, after a coffee pause (not like we were ecstatic to correct our faults) xD

Class nonsenses #1

We have a 2-hour Luxembourgish class online. Why should we take notes ourselves when we have a lovely simple document made by the teacher in the class? Let's just depend on the teacher's notes and not take anything ourselves.

Oh no.

The teacher lost the document.

Oh no.
