One down, one to go --- Alia probatio completa, alia adhuc complenda est

I wrote the French exam today. Unfortunately it's part of the language requirements for my PhD. Latin is the most important, and the most difficult. As your translations must be perfect and you cannot use a dictionary. We also have to take French and German exams, although they tend to be easier and we are permitted a dictionary. The exams are offered twice per year and you need to pass them in order to move on to the next stage.

I suppose the French exam went OK, but I still don't think I passed it. The first passage was the most difficult and I think I kinda botched it. Oh well. This one wasn't the important test. I hadn't even taken a French course since highschool, so no worries if I didn't pass. I can always take it again, perhaps when I don't have a major Latin exam hanging over my head. German can wait until next summer.

Ok, I'm ready now. Bring on the Latin exam!

Hodie, in lingua Francia probationem scripsi. Infeliciter, fieri doctor philosophiae neccesse est. Lingua Latina gravissima difficilissimaque est, quia in sermonem Anglicam perfecte convertenda est. Etiam nobis in lingua Francia Germaniaque probationes scribendae sunt, quamquam facillissimae esse solent ac nobis uti glossarium licet. Bis anno offeruntur ac ante procedendum ad proximo gradui probandi sumus.

Franciae probationis scribendum bene esse mihi pono sed adhuc ipsi non succedere me pono. Primus Locus difficillisimus est et cum transferrem, errarem. Eu! haec probatio non magnus est. Classem in Francia non habuit quoniam in schola superiore eram. Iterum semper hanc scribere possum, et fortasse cum probatio gravissima Latina non pendet! Lingua Germania usque ad proximam aestatem opperiatur.

Fiat! Nunc paratus sum! Probatio Latina veniat!
